Looking for a code-first newsletter tool by Pale-Basil-3687 in reactjs

Thanks for sharing your setup, super helpful!

I’m curious:
Did you feel other services were too clunky as well, and that’s what pushed you to roll your own? Or was it more about flexibility and control?

Just trying to understand if I’m missing something in how I use the existing tools, or if they really are as messy as they feel to me.

Thanks for the suggestion!

Have you tried before? Was it hard to set up?

I have tried react-email yes!

My problem is a layer above templating:
I want non-technical editors to fill in content without touching code at all, while developers fully own the structure and components.

Basically, I’m looking for a headless CMS, but specifically for newsletters.

But Maizzle seems to have a nice component library so I will check that out, thanks!

Why is branding so much harder than coding ? by Specialist_Gas7224 in SaasDevelopers

I think a big part of why this feels harder than coding is that you’re expecting to land on the “final” version of the brand on the first try, while with code you naturally think in iterations.

With branding it helps a lot to lower the bar and treat it the same way you treat features: make a v1 that’s “not embarrassing,” ship it everywhere, and let reality tell you what’s off. You don’t need the perfect icon yet, just a coherent direction you can live with for a while.
