A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
No spam posting.
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
No trolling.

Dittofeed - open-source messaging automation platform (github.com)

Hi self-hosters, we're building a self-hostable, MIT-licensed alternative to Klaviyo, Braze, Mailchimp, etc. You can automate email, SMS, WhatsApp, and lots of other channels.

The core functionality of the platform includes a user segmentation builder, a low-code email template editor, and a low-code drag-and-drop journey builder for creating automated messaging workflows. We also have subscription groups to manage unsubscribes.

Why is this better than any other service mentioned.

[–] chandler 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Mainly that it's self-hostable which makes it better for data security, lowers cost, and makes it extensible.

Aren't you then hosting an SMTP source and relay?

[–] chandler 4 points 1 month ago

You can certainly use SMTP in place of an email provider like SES or Resend, but I don't generally recommend it if you're concerned about deliverability and metrics.

I think this is an integration platform so you can automate a newsletter.
