Personally, I find the Product Hunt upvote stuff front & centre to be quite distracting (and verging on devaluing to the product offering, in a lot of cases). I understand the reasoning for it being there, but perhaps kick it further down the page so the service / offering is the focus.

Producthunt seems more like feature hunt with the multiple launches (releases).

Yeah I noticed they moved to a “hub” model which I think encourages that. Not a bad thing imo, companies were already treating it this way and they just formalized it. Fwiw, this was our first product hunt post for our product.

Isn't 98% of email about having a clean IP range these days?

There’s a surprising amount of classifying happening at the content level. If you have a clean ip but then send content that raises flags (includes hot words, adult content, etc) then you’re going to be categorized differently in the inbox regardless.

Even without the borderline content, if it seems promotional, it may end up in promotions regardless.

Congrats on the launch! Its been a far better experience than Mailchimp for us, even during the very early beta days.

How has your experience been using Lexical? Would love to get a sense of where you've run into limitations/etc as we're exploring it (albeit, for a very different use case).

Lexical has been great. I think the biggest drawback is that its an earlier project (compared to alternatives) so there are not always best practices for what we want to do. That said, the community is pretty active (in discord) and generally responsive to bug reports.

We've been trying Loops for a while and love it. Using it currently on our web design curation site (seesaw.website) and it was the easiest tool we could find to integrate.

Thanks! We're very focused on ease of use so glad it worked out :)

Earlier quoted context omitted.

They offer a free plan :)

Not sure if this is a good or bad signal. The others don't offer free no CC plans because as soon as you get even the smallest bit well known you get swamped with spammers signing up.

We do a lot to prevent it, part of the reason we waited to launch. There are also hard caps with the free plan.

I'm a happy user! for sure there are some small basic things I'd love to get (better filtering, user editing, etc...) but overall they get the job done. Good luck!

Oh nice! Thanks, yep there’s lots to improve. If you haven’t already, drop us a line in slack or live chat and we’re happy to log feedback then we’ll ping you when it makes its way into the app.

Will do :)
