listmonk

I'm currently in the process of taking a lot of risk rewriting a large-ish app that I maintain to fully eliminate the use of frontend frameworks (and the larger JS ecosystem in general) and to switch to simple SSR + semantic HTML and CSS. Using this tiny lib [2: shameless plug] I wrote specifically incorporating the "HTML Can Do That"-style realisations going into the big rewrite.

This is remarkable. If things like these could be AI generated (or even tweaked) to fit a use case, that kind of spells doom for bloated Saas products. Would be amazing to see the progress along this vector. You may want to look at https://github.com/knadh/listmonk for how to handle heavier loads. This is also a nice project used by Zerodha in India to send millions of newsletters on a daily basis.

https://github.com/knadh/listmonk We use listmonk, extremely flexible and lightweight as well! I want to try to build a Hubspot integration to fetch contacts directly from Hubspot.

When I searched for this I had a very hard time finding a right answer because all the results were SEO blogs advertising their newsletter services (Mailchimp, Convertkit, etc.), which is not the same thing. So I wrote this overview covering all the options I found. Additional input is welcome. Even though Listmonk seems like the best free & open source option, there aren't many guides for it and the documentation is quite limited. So [I've been having trouble getting it running on a CentOS server](https://github.com/knadh/listmonk/issues/1004#issuecomment-1...). It's a shame that it seems to be used by thousands of people but almost no one bothers to create guides or improve the docs.

It seems that the license not MIT or GPL. The Git repository is here https://github.com/ServiceStack/CreatorKit. The deployment also seems rather complicated for just a UI that would use something like SES in the background. https://github.com/ServiceStack/CreatorKit/blob/main/.deploy... I use Listmonk and I have no complaints, it's simple and does what it promises website: https://listmonk.app/ repo: https://github.com/knadh/listmonk

fwiw I've been looking to find a MailChimp or such alternative that's FOSS. I've both tried ListMonk and Bespoke but both lack on features I might need. Might just roll my own at this point lmao https://github.com/knadh/listmonk https://listmonk.app https://bespoke.surf/ https://github.com/bespoke-surf/bespoke The aspect most important for me regarding this as an european based company is to be GDPR compilant so opt-in storing ip address and datetime is required by law. What /i try to convey by this is that sending emails might be easy, but all the work around doing so lawfully is painfully burecractically comically hard.

Adding new features to listmonk (mailing list / newsletter manager), preparing for its next release. https://github.com/knadh/listmonk Setting up and playing around with Omeka, a brilliant document publishing system, to help publish an archive of digitised physical books and documents. https://omeka.org

Hey HN, After getting up to something like 300 individual notes on ideas that I thought someone should build, I figured I should start sending out some of these ideas so they'd have a chance of actually being built. It's been roughly 19 issues, ~4 months and now over 800 subscribers are reading the newsletter every week and every once in a while I get someone who is executing an idea! In the meantime I seem to have ~520 ideas so it seems like a somewhat positive sum set up right now. I recently started and scrapped a move to Ghost. Despite how much I like Ghost as a platform, my custom stack of SvelteKit[0] + Listmonk[1] has been very very productive. Would love to answer any questions about my stack or the ideas! You can see the latest editions at URLs like this: https://unvalidated-ideas.vadosware.io/editions/019 (change the "019") [0]:

Funnily enough, I'm actually working on something (a proxy) that turns the Mailgun API into SMTP/Listmonk[0], since I was annoyed that Ghost only allows Mailgun. Great to hear they're a solution for this though -- will update my article to reflect them next to ImprovMX. [0]: https://github.com/knadh/listmonk

Huge sense of entitlement showing up on project forums is inevitable. I think it is okay to be open and blunt (and civil) when responding to such posts. I had ended up codifying [1] my stance around this to a contrib document to quickly link to annoying issues when closing them. Saves the headache of having to write fresh explanations.
