Wow that was quick. The site hasn't even been online for 24 hours yet.

I created Sendicate and if there are questions I'd be happy to answer.

The Lorem Ipsum example sucks for two reasons:

A) It's at the bottom B) No one will relate to it

The first thing I wanted to see when opening the site and reading "Beautiful emails to people that matter" was examples of those beautiful emails. Put examples to the top, and show "real life" examples, not Lorem Ipsum.

Otherwise, cool idea. Congrats on the beta launch and good luck!

Just thought I'd let you know that whenever you navigate to the login page (http://sendicate.net/login) a notification at the top of the page pops out and tells me I've signed out successfully, but I don't even have an account yet.

I'm viewing this from Chrome, in case that matters.

Using "beautiful" and "matters" is such a cliché. I mean it might work, but I feel like I'm looking at a corporate out of touch ad not a small personal human company.

Remember, it's not what you play or how you play, it's how you feel about what you play.

I agree. I am anti Lorem Ipsum but it is a placeholder for the time being.

We have some amazing templates that are part of the beta that are as beautiful and flexible as a lot of the Tumblr themes. The theme syntax is actually very similar too. Here is a draft https://github.com/Sendicate/sendicate-theme-docs

Thanks. That is fixed in the next release.

Thanks we noticed that too. Will be pushing out a fix shortly.

At first (and second) glance it's not obvious to me whether this is a desktop app, a mobile app or a web app / service. Does it send emails for me or does it just make HTML? Does it mail-merge from a CSV? Can I bring in my own templates?
