Hi HN!

Author here. I work on several projects that require me to stay in touch with the customers and keep them up-to-date on new initiatives that we are taking. I have tried several marketing platforms such as Mailchimp and Sendy. However, they can be really expensive or hard to maintain/set-up.

The goal with DropList is to have an open-source [1] marketing platform that can be easily self-hosted. But, we do provide a hosted version [2] for convenience at a very low cost. Over time, I want to add features for email automation, complex segmentation, and more.

If you have suggestions or any other feedback, please leave comments here.

Congratulations on the launch, how does it differs from that of listmonk[1], it's open source and battle tested at Zerodha. Ability to create templates via a drag/drop tool would give marketers a lot less friction.

Thank you! ListMonk looks great but I'm not sure what their future plans are so it would be hard to do a fair comparison. For DropList, the plan is to move towards email automation using drip campaigns.
