Building messaging automation is a waste of time

Hey HN, Chandler from Dittofeed (https://github.com/dittofeed/dittofeed). Dittofeed is an open-source alternative to customer engagement platforms like Klaviyo, Customer.io, and Braze.

We’re releasing a new way to distribute Dittofeed, by embedding its components inside of your own application.

Here’s a preview of how it works: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TfkHDbqbM38

We discovered that teams are devoting a lot of effort to rebuilding the same set of messaging automation features over and over (e.g., journey builder, template editor, segment builder). We think this could be a big time saver for a lot of people.

We’d love to hear your thoughts on how you’d approach building this and what potential challenges you foresee.

If you’re interested in becoming a design partner and working with us to create the first version of this production, or if you’re just curious to learn more, you can reach us at:
