Chris, congrats on the launch! Just a few questions, how does this compare to Substack, Beehiiv, Mailchimp, etc, looking to create an automated newsletter, will Loops work for this usecase?

Sure, what we've found is that many companies (including our own) publish a changelog, product update or newsletter at a monthly/weekly cadence. We can help solve for that.

There are also quite a few strictly newsletters using us as well which we're happy to support! We own workspaces.xyz and publish that as well via Loops.

We starting using your API for light volume transcriptional emails a few weeks ago and honestly the integration process was so smooth it was anticlimactic. It just all worked.

that's what we're hoping happens! it should just work so you can get back to work

thanks for giving us a try :)

Any thoughts on the differences with Resend [0] (also a YC company coincidentally enough)? I like them because they integrate quite nicely with their other product, React Email [1], where our devs can just write emails in React and it'll render to email-compliant HTML and CSS. I suppose you guys have a GUI as well but I believe they're looking to add that too. [0] https://resend.com [1] https://react.email/

fwiw you can use React Email pretty easily with anything by using their @react-email/render package [0] to render your email React components to HTML (this is effectively all Resend is doing in their Node library [1])

Just FYI since I happened to be looking into this recently as well :)

Looks really good! but with 200K subscribers I'm a bit hesitant to move from mailjet, who do I talk to to be able to try it with our upcoming campaigns?

Talk to us! We're happy to take a call, email, etc. :)

Shoot me an email (chris@loops.so) and happy to walk you through any questions you may have.

I like your website: it's simple and mostly easy to find things. I also like the concept.

I was looking for an API reference to see what I could do with your API, but didn't find one. It seems that information about API calls is scattered among more "how-to" oriented documentation. That's just fine, but it would also be nice to have some documentation oriented around endpoints and details of the API.
