• A list of SaaS, PaaS and IaaS offerings that have free tiers of interest to devops and infradev

  Buttondown — Newsletter service. Up to 100 subscribers free. - Source: dev.to / 2 months ago

• Ask HN: How many of you are self employed?

  Self-employed, running https://buttondown.email as a solo founder. (My day generally looks like — 30% engineering, 40% onboarding + support, 10% marketing, 20% operations.) It was a profitable nights-and-weekends project from 2017—2022; took it full-time in 2022. I think the thing that I would say about self-employment is that people understate the day-to-day flexibility and overstate the month-to-month... - Source: Hacker News / 2 months ago

• Ask HN: Advice for turning my side project into a real business

  I did this. I grew my project, Buttondown [https://buttondown.email] from high three figures to low five figures while doing it as a nights-and-weekends thing at Stripe and then quit to work on it full time. It was a great decision and I'm happy I did it! (I also did it, frankly, with significant runway in the bank if I needed it, and no dependents besides my wife so the tail risk of "this goes to zero and/or I... - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

• Ask HN: What perfect software did you discover of recent?

  This allowed me to add a subscription page on my statically hosted blog. And the minimalistic nature of the service made it perfect.

• Stalwart mail server (self-hosted all-in-one mail server) now as an admin webui

  And if you are looking for an easy-to-use UI on top of SES, consider this app https://sendy.co/ which is downloadable and self-hosted. Tbh I haven't used it in a few years but it was super useful. I see it's a one-time cost of $69 (used to be $29 but that was over a decade ago). - Source: Hacker News / 7 days ago

• Show HN: I built a tool to send 10k emails for $1 via AWS

  For those looking for a self-hosted solution which doesn’t require a monthly payment, there’s Sendy. https://sendy.co/ Mail Layer seems to do a bit more, do pick your tradeoff. As for feedback on the page, the mobile design isn’t exactly broken but it does have a number of problems. It’s so squished at the top it reads:

      Mail.

• What email service do you use for your campaigns and how much do you pay?

  I've been using Sendy for a few years now without any issues. It sends emails through Amazon SES which is dirt cheap ($1 per every 10,000 emails sent). It is self-hosted so you'll need to take server costs into account. It also doesn't have a ton of the automations that MailChimp and other services have, but if you're mostly just sending email campaigns it has what you need. But it's well-maintained and hasn't...

• Ask HN: Better Mailchimp Alternative?

  Pay for speed, if you don’t care about speed, pay little https://sendy.co. - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago

• Starlab Pre-Alpha Playtesting, Mailing Lists, and Steam Key distribution

  Greaaaat.... I could have used Mail Chimp, or any one of a dozen free-at-first then pay-per-month services. Game Dev is insanely expensive already, I only take on monthly subscriptions when I'm cornered so I looked for an alternative. I found Sendy https://sendy.co/ where you can pay once but with the caveat that you have to have your own LAMP server and deploy it yourself. They have a pay service to deploy this...
