Fortunately there's a great post by @whatyouhi.de - so if you've also been delaying the update, give it a read! andrealeopardi.com/posts/refact... #myelixirstatus #elixirlang

Coming soon: Add welcome emails to your forms in Keila. This is great if you want to share private links with new subscribers - or just to say hi 👋
Of course, this works in conjunction with double opt-in: if it's enabled, the welcome email will be sent after the email confirmation. #buildinpublic

Currently considering adding a subscription-free option for keila.io. Maybe something like 2500 credits (valid for one year) for 35€. Mailchimp's smallest offer is 5000 credits for 170€.

My jaw just dropped: In 2023, I paid €180 for a three-year code-signing certificate (required to sign Windows apps). Now, Sectigo and Digicert charge over 500€ PER YEAR. 🤯

Someone just tried to register a Keila Cloud account with the email address nein@test.de. This is obviously not going to work but I can appreciate it - it's the kind of fake address I'd personally also use when I don't want to give out my own.

Here is a neat little trick when you need to test a verification flow in #PhoenixFramework: gist.github.com/wmnnd/cb80d4...
It's a common pattern to pass a URL generator to a context function. But you can pass a function that captures the token with an Agent instead.
