Newsletter
Own the subscriber list instead of paying per-subscriber fees forever.
Email marketing services charged more as the list grew, even though the content and audience stayed the same.
A public deployment is available to try.
Case Study
Before
Building a direct audience channel was essential but email marketing services like Mailchimp charged per-subscriber fees that scaled poorly. Needed a cost-effective newsletter solution with full data ownership.
After
Created an owned audience channel with zero per-subscriber costs. The archive pages double as SEO content, driving organic traffic while the newsletter nurtures direct relationships with the audience.
How it's solved
Built a self-hosted newsletter system with signup forms, double opt-in, archive pages for past issues, and integration with Resend for email delivery. Supports custom templates and scheduled sending.
Trade-offs
Delivery depends on the sending provider's reputation — no dedicated warmed-up sending domain yet.
