Show HN: Open-source low-code email editor

#1

Post by chandlercraig »

Hey HN, Chandler from Dittofeed (https://github.com/dittofeed/dittofeed).

We just added low-code functionality to our open-source email template editor. The editor features a Notion-inspired “/” command interface for inserting new blocks.

You still have the option of using MJML or HTML, but we wanted to give everyone an easier option for creating primarily text-based emails.

We have a live demo of the editor which you can access here (just hit the “Create Template” button): https://demo.dittofeed.com/dashboard/templates

Since this is the first iteration of the feature, we’d love to hear your thoughts and feedback on how we can improve it.

You can reach us anytime at:

founders@dittofeed.com

If you’d like to self-host Dittofeed and want help from us and the community, you can join our Discord: https://discord.gg/HajPkCG4Mm

Your submission link goes to https://github.com/dittofeed/dittofeed/tree/main/packages/em... Would you put a README in there in GitHub? No idea what I should look for in this subfolder in GitHub

Hi z3ugma! Yah we'll add a README. To clarify the emailo package is not (currently) intended for consumption outside of Dittofeed, but it'd be great to document nonetheless!

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.

Hi Onavo, we'll have a free cloud tier for lower volume in the near future. If you'd like to self-host for free but need help with setup, we'd love to see you in our #help-and-questions Discord channel!

Thanks for the kind words as well. With regards to the state of our product category, it's definitely a crowded space. One of our main goals is to help companies save money as they scale their messaging, so it's great to hear your input on pricing.

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.

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
