Do you mind removing the Segment requirement for usage? I think many users would be fine with just a standard http endpoint.

Hey KRAKRISMOTT, we have SDKs and a REST API which can be found at https://docs.dittofeed.com/integrations/sources Open to expanding our SDK selection though.

Ah okay, it's mostly that your getting started guide specifically requires a Segment account for some reason.

Noted! I'll make sure to edit that. Thank you for the feedback.

I was not aware that I needed any code at all to edit emails...

Code is great for creating HTML-based email templates with things like template variables for personalization and responsive design! Of course, templates are mainly useful if you're sending large quantities of emails and don't have the time to individually craft each one.

I wish Dittofeed is cheaper, $75 is quite steep to get started with. On an unrelated note, I suppose congratulations is in order. The laudspeaker product (your fellow YC competitor) doesn't seem to be successful at all (they are even more pricey). I think Brevo and Klaviyo are gobbling up all the oxygen in the room for most marketing departments, they are basically the next mailchimp.

No congratulations is necessary the Laudspeaker project ( https://github.com/laudspeaker/laudspeaker ) is doing perfectly fine. $75/mo is not particularly expensive, Braze's starter plan is close to $35k/year

I appreciate the vote of confidence on our pricing from the founder of our competitor! lol

Humbly suggest using a superior framework to MJML such as https://jsx.email MJML is a relic

Humbly suggest you’re wrong.

EDIT: Rather than drive-by disagreement, my case is that MJML is highly flexible and has broad enough use at this point that it’s seeing pickup in mainstream clients. (I like what Keila[1] is doing.) From a creative standpoint, it is easy to hop in an editor and build a template, and it solves the problem of email breakage while not being a significant departure from actual HTML layout.

I don’t think JSX makes sense for the email format unless literally all your tooling is built around it. And the fact is, so much tooling in both email and content management is still built around stuff like PHP.
