Loopletter: Open-source email marketing platform

Hi, I started building Loopletter, an open-source email marketing platform built specifically for independent artists and creators. I've been using this for a while to run marketing campaigns for my own company. But due to the lack of time to update it i've decided to open it up under the MIT license so other people and industries can self-host, extend, or just learn from the codebase. What’s inside: - Full campaign builder (visual editor, reusable templates, optional Spotify-powered layouts) - Audience management tooling (imports, segmentation, consent workflows, list cleanup) -…

What it does

In the maker’s words, at launch

Hi, I started building Loopletter, an open-source email marketing platform built specifically for independent artists and creators. I've been using this for a while to run marketing campaigns for my own company. But due to the lack of time to update it i've decided to open it up under the MIT license so other people and industries can self-host, extend, or just learn from the codebase. What’s inside: - Full campaign builder (visual editor, reusable templates, optional Spotify-powered layouts) - Audience management tooling (imports, segmentation, consent workflows, list cleanup) - Queue-driven sending with AWS SES, BullMQ, and Redis — handles rate limits, retries, and deliverability feedback - Analytics dashboards with real-time metrics, campaign history, and basic attribution - Infrastructure scripts for Supabase, AWS EventBridge/Lambda, and Upstash Redis so you can set everything up from scratch Tech stack: Next.js, React 19, TypeScript, Tailwind, Clerk for auth, Supabase (Postgres) for storage, AWS SES + S3 for mail/asset delivery. The repo has docs, scripts, and a demo data sandbox because we know email platforms can be boring to set up without real content. Why open-source? Most tools in this space are either huge enterprise SaaS products or very marketing/sales oriented. Independent artists have different needs (merch drops, tour announcements, limited release windows) and usually lean on social platforms they don’t control. Email still converts best for them, but standing up a full stack is painful. We’d love to see small labels, agencies, and indie devs fork it, run it for their communities, or contribute features. I'm especially curious if this has potential to be something bigger.

Thanks for taking a look!

    Maildown – Markdown email campaigns2019 · ▲92

    Hi, The beta program of my new startup, Maildown, is now complete and is now accepting paying customers: https://www.maildown.app As well as a lot of stability enhancements, we've added a new help system, a new CLI (https://github.com/chris104957/mailer-cli) and a REST API. Maildown lets you create transactional and marketing email campaigns using Markdown syntax, so you can generate and send your email content far more quickly than with traditional WYSIWYG editors. Thanks for looking, Chris

    We've tried systems like OSTicket, OTRS etc, but never found anything to our liking. Most systems were cluttered, slow or too advanced. Brimir is simple but usefull.

    I went down the rabbit hole on a side project and ended up building this: Strange Attractors(https://blog.shashanktomar.com/posts/strange-attractors). It’s built with three.js. Working on it reminded me of the little "maths for fun" exercises I used to do while learning programming in early days. Just trying things out, getting fascinated and geeky, and being surprised by the results. I spent way too much time on this, but it was extreme fun. My favorite part: someone pointed me to the Simone Attractor on Threads. It is a 2D attractor and I asked GPT to extrapolate it to…

    Hey all, I built this. It’s not trying to capture every autistic experience (that’d be impossible). It’s based on my own lived experience as well as that of friends on the spectrum. I'm trying to give people a feel for what masking, decision fatigue, and burnout can look like day-to-day. That’s hard to explain in words, but easier to show through choices and stats. I'm not trying to "define autism". I’ve gotten good feedback here about resilience, meds, and difficulty tuning. I’ll keep tweaking it. If even a few people walk away thinking, "ah, maybe that’s why my coworker struggles in those…
