We recently launched a new project called https://www.markdownmail.io<p>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.<p>It was at this point we decided that we would write our own.<p>Currently https://www.markdownmail.io has the following features:<p>- List Management (csv import and a simple subscribe api)<p>- Compose emails in markdown - we just wanted simple text emails thatwill always look great on any device<p>- Send Newsletter - you can rate limit emails depending on your setup<p>That is it! We'd love your feedback<p>team@markdownmail.io
A question I couldn't see answered on <a href="https://www.markdownmail.io/" rel="nofollow">https://www.markdownmail.io/</a><p>Is this a GUI to my AWS SES account? Or is this your AWS SES account?<p>The reason I ask is spam. As in, if others use your service to send a lot of spam, am I (and my lists) going to be affected by the inevitable spam ranking?<p>Aside from that, this looks good.<p>Not sure whether your research looked at MailJet at all, but I regularly send 100k emails per month for £50 per month.<p>Edit: I'm an idiot, I re-read it carefully and see that is says "<i>your</i> AWS SES account". But I'll leave my dumb question here so others who miss it see the answer.
Signed up: liking the UI, setup is not intuative that I need to sign up for SES or have a SMTP box knocking around.
Will have a proper play later.<p>Liking the concept guys, keep up the good work.
markdownmail.io looks pretty easy to use and gets points for being a hosted service.<p>We use <a href="http://sendy.co/" rel="nofollow">http://sendy.co/</a> - they have a one time fee per domain and needs to be installed on our server. The best part about sendy.co is the beautiful reports. You should check it out and try to integrate some/all of them in markdownmail.io to make it more effective.<p>All the best.
