Senior Software Engineer & Solopreneur 🇸🇪. Building quality apps
🚀 Excited to announce the launch of selfdevkit.com - Your All-in-One Developer Toolkit!

#9. Battle-tested, secure, scalable and cost-efficient.

It's designed to send from tens of emails to millions of emails. SelfMailKit follows best practices.

It's heavily optimized for cost, and sending millions of emails just costs a few dollars

The sending number will gradually increase over the upcoming days until it's warmed up.

#1. Self-hosted (soon it will also support "bring your own key"). You truly own everything. Customize as you wish, and just pay $10$ to send 100,000 emails.

SelfMailKit has been officially launched! 🚀

Time to save cost on sending emails without sacrificing UX and crucial functionalities

I just requested AWS SES prod access for my new account, which I deployed SelfMailKit.

Generally, it takes 1-2 business days + follow-up questions, but this time, it took less than a min and automatically granted prod access.

Why? Because SelfMailKit follows the best practices

The fully functional selfmailkit.com demo is also ready. Planning to launch everything today (or tomorrow, worst case). Will send (tomorrow) emails with 100% coupons to those who bought scaletozeroaws.com (you can still benefit from this deal until tomorrow) and 50% coupons for those on the waitlist

I heavily use FreeForm and Apple finally added the connectors. It was such a hassle to connect the nodes nicely. No more ugly architectural diagrams
