I'm using HTMX with the Bun stack and somehow it is working great for us.

We are working on building an app builder that uses HTMX as an frontend technology, along with SQLite for the database and Bun for the backend.

Can someone tell me the AWS server cost with the same spec? Probably $5000 per month?

Isn’t Gumroad runs on top of Stripe itself?

Good job Cloudflare

Still expensive

Do you use any external dedicated host?

Which dedicated infra host did you use?

How come a listing with full details available publically can never make it to top of Ycombinator but a medium article with gated content ranks on top?

We use PayPal and Stripe together.

People trust PayPal a lot more compared to Stripe. The dispute handling process is something which is really good PayPal innovation.

With Stripe people only have option to chargeback incase of any issues.

Probably written by GP2.

Which means you can't add outbound external links on top of YouTube videos from now on.

That is the exact reason why we launched MailGet which is a hosted solution for sending emails using Amazon SES.

Check it at https://formget.com/mailget-app/

Yes, You got it right.

If you have 50,000 subscribers and you send bi-weekly emails or roughly 10 campaigns every month.

You would be paying $49(Flat Fee) + 10*($5) = $99

Any other email service charges roughly $250 or more for the same. So overall there is huge cost saving with SES along with SendGlide.

If you are willing to join SendGlide, Feel free to jump on the live chat on the site or send an email. http://www.sendglide.com/contact-us/

Thanks for the feedback. Will fix that.

Thanks for the feedback. I will add redirect to SendGlide.

We know setting SES might be little hard for the first time and that's the reason we have written thorough guides which users can follow to setup their SES account. http://www.sendglide.com/setup-amazon-ses-account-with-sendg...

Potential savings over long run is pretty high once someone setups and connect SES with SendGlide.

Other than that we are always available to help incase someone needs any help in setting up their SES account.

If you willing to join us, you can contact us anytime via contact link on our website.

Thanks Neeraj

The email template builder at SendGlide is really fantastic. You would definitely love it. Give it a try.

You're right, deliverability can be measured via pixel image itself. That is the same process that we follow at SendGlide.

Yes, It is $29 for 10,000 subscribers + $1 per 10,000 email sent via Amazon SES.

Here is a simple calculation. If you send 5 broadcasts to all your audience of 10,000 people.

It would be $29 + $5 = $34

Here $29 is a recurring cost and $5 is a variable cost depending upon number of emails sent any month. Amazon SES charges $1 per 10,000 emails through them.

We are also coming up with that capability in couple of weeks.

Thanks for your feedback. I will try to make that data more clear for everyone.

If you see the "Pay as you go" section in MailChimp, it is indeed $200 for 10,000 emails.

OwlSend is $30 for sending 10,000 emails.

Hi codegeek,

Thanks a lot for taking time to post your feedback.

Currently we extract data in realtime of users sending limits and emails sent by users in a day via SES API.

Since, we are already extracting all the users data and showing them in their dashboard. We will certainly plan to show the reputation to the users in the later stage as well.

We are working quite extensively on WordPress platform. What kind of integration would you be willing to get ?

Yes, you are right there are lot of plugins which provide the similar services, however there are few challenges. 1. You have to manage the hosting at your end. 2. You have to keep track on plugins and external apps and keep them updated. 3. There are not a robust solution out there, some don't have a simple drag drop email builder, others don't have a subscriber management system, some plugins don't track accurately and some don't provide web form embedding functionality or some plugins don't have autoresponders.

I am not saying that self hosted solution are all bad but there are certain limits where those solutions don't work well.

Mandrill is awesome, it gives 12,000 emails for free every month. However, they restrict their service to be used only for transactional emails and recommend MailChimp for marketing emails. On the other hand, SES has no such limitations whatsoever.

At the same time, if you are an Amazon EC2 customer, SES gives you 65,000 free emails every month.

We are actually coming up with a way to send emails via your custom SMTP to allow email sending via Mandrill or any other SMTP platform as well.

Once again, thanks a lot for taking time to post your feedback. I would suggest you to give OwlSend a try, I am pretty sure you will love it. If you have any questions or suggestions. Feel free to email me at neeraj[at]owlsend.com

Thanks Neeraj, OwlSend Team

Hi Dan,

There are no lock-ins whatsoever. If you like to move over to somewhere else in the later stage. Just send us one email at hoot[at]owlsend.com and we will send you the export of all your contacts.

Thanks Neeraj OwlSend Team

Hi bdunn,

No this is a new product altogether. We are unrelated.

Wow that is really a nice discussion. A very new and innovation way to look into your social assets.
