The motivations behind https://www.markdownmail.io was that we wanted to be able to occasionally send out an email to our user base. Currently we have over 100k subscribers and on average send an email once every other month. With the mailchimp it was costing us $475 per month. That's a lot of money to send an occasional newsletter. So we started to look for alternatives. We decided to move to sendy.co which is self hosted and uses SES. Whilst the costs where lower we found the product unstable and difficult to use.
It was at this point we decided that we would write our own.
Currently https://www.markdownmail.io has the following features:
- List Management (csv import and a simple subscribe api)
- Compose emails in markdown - we just wanted simple text emails thatwill always look great on any device
- Send Newsletter - you can rate limit emails depending on your setup
That is it! We'd love your feedback
