Hello HN - I’m Tobi and I am building LimeJourney. LimeJourney is an open source customer engagement platform, a Customer.io /braze etc alternative.
- For the past few weeks I have been hacking on LimeJourney during my free time and I’m inviting you to check it out and give your feedback. You can try out the demo with email and password demo@limejourney.com/demo@limejourney.com<p>- My Grand thesis for building LimeJourney is that the channels through which we currently receive notifications will not be changing anytime soon but with the increase in data - now more than ever - businesses that will catch the attention of customers are the ones who in some shape or form are intelligently sending notifications(possibly with AI).<p>- LimeJourney in its current form is very far off from what I hope for it to be but still solves a couple of issues I experienced when working on another project. LimeJourney is relatively cheap($50) - single base plan compared to the other big guys in the market(>$100). It is also open source and I’lld love to see folks who are able to, adopt and self host limeJourney. LimeJourney aims to play real nice with whatever you current email sending stack is and we already have integrations with Resend, AWS and are building more.<p>- I used a pretty basic full stack typescript stack for building out LimeJourney with Postgres as the DB, Clickhouse for events, Kafka for streaming and deployed on render/vercel.<p>The codebase is on Github => <a href="https://github.com/LimeJourney/limeJourney">https://github.com/LimeJourney/limeJourney</a><p>Thank you for checking this out.
