I'm Clément, a freelance developer for 5 years now.
I've worked in several startups and often encountered the same problem: creating stunning transactional emails was a real headache to create and maintain.
So, I created Mailhub, an email API with all the tools to make it easier to build, test, send, track & monitor transactional emails
Among other features, you can:
- Use reusable layouts & pages powered by Tailwind
- Dark-mode & responsive supported
- Access a virtual outbox
- i18n
- Build from pre-built templates
...
All of this comes with a simple API & reliable deliverability rates.
I hope you like it as much as I do. I'm really open to feedback!
There's nothing wrong with SMTP. It's perfect. If your complaint is that it isn't a binary protocol, then you're the type of sender it was designed to keep out.
Indeed, your two questions will answer themselves over time, but we are doing everything possible to keep competitive prices.
As for the deliverability rate, we have implemented several mechanisms to ensure that it remains optimal.
I agree with you about SMTP.
Emails in general are a legacy joke.
>I agree with you about SMTP. Emails in general are a legacy joke.
Problem is, most replacements I've seen are even worse vendor lock in. While I hate SMTP to, it being one of last open two-way long-term communication systems out there is something most of us should be thrilled with.
A modern, standardized API would negate vendor lock in. And it wouldn't have to replace SMTP, it could simply be an alternative option.
There is no reason that sending an email can't be done with a simple, single API call. The back and forth "dance" that SMTP requires is just an absurd waste of time. There may have been a good reason for it at some point but today, it's hard to imagine what that was.
Minor critique on your marketing page — the blurred images in the marquee look like they're a glitch, like the browser is downloading low-resolution copies on accident. Maybe replace with scale-up or a subtle ken burns effect?
Yes, I had needs for my startup clients and never found a solution, so I decided to create one.
I tried to combine the best of both worlds: flexibility by keeping HTML code and simplicity with Tailwind and other tools.
Thanks again for your feedback. I'd be happy to hear more if you try the product.
About the landing page, I took note of that, and I'll address it as soon as possible!
