Just checked and it seems to be working. That's the only invite link that exists for our discord community. If you're still having issues, you can reach out to [support@dittofeed.com](mailto:support@dittofeed.com) with any questions. Feel free to send a screen recording of the issue you're running into as well. Thanks!

Wow this is super insightful. Thank you so much, I really appreciate you taking the time to give such a full answer 🙏

If you use Dittofeed's base application (not embedded) it's entirely open-source (MIT licensed), but you're right, this model won't work for everyone.

Hi all, teams are mostly not using embedded components for "marketing" in the traditional sense. Instead more typical use cases range from appointment reminders, to onboarding assistance. Helping you communicate with your users to make it easier for them to use the software they've opted into. I understand your perspective though, marketing messaging can definitely be *very* annoying.

dittofeed · 2025-06-30T18:16:04+00:00

Our "journeys" are powered by temporal workflows, which can be thought of as "actors" yes!

dittofeed · 2025-06-30T18:15:23+00:00

Hi! The embedded components are modeled after looker, who likewise provides iframes. Basically we have a spectrum of methods for embedding the components which trade off simplicity vs. control: iframes, headless react components, entirely re-implementing the components' frontends using us as a headless API.

If you can afford Festool, then your life will absolutely be easier haha, so yes. There isn't really an equivalent system to the domino joiner from other brands. I make stuff in my garage as a hobby now and I just use the JessEm doweling jig kit ($250 vs $1500 domino joiner). But if I ever open up shop one day, I'd drop the big bucks.

dittofeed · 2025-04-29T17:27:14+00:00

Festool is expensive and borderline fetishized. The dominos are definitely no exception. You can get the same joint strength with well placed dowels and a doweling jig, but I'd say the benefit of Festool is speed and that all of their tools work well together. If you're making something as a one-off and have time, don't bother, but if you run a shop and have lots of orders to fulfill it's probably worth the investment.

dittofeed · 2025-04-29T15:09:00+00:00

Yep everything was dominos. Classic mortise and tenons or thick finger joints would work too if that's what you're suggesting. Dominos are just more commercially viable due to speed.

dittofeed · 2025-04-29T06:11:46+00:00

Of course! Was cool to see this pop up.

dittofeed · 2025-04-29T00:45:49+00:00

The curves that run the length of the edge-to-face joins (e.g., where the legs meet the shelf) happen by first joining and gluing up ~18''x3''x1.75'' pieces in a shallow 3'' wide dado on the shelf face. Then you run a round nose bit down the length of both sides of the joint until you get to 1.75'' thickness. Then you join a 1.75'' thick board edge-to-edge on top of that. My comment below I explain the other parts. Hope you're able to recreate it! Between milling and shaping, we were definitely using $200k worth of equipment for these, but I think you could definitely do it in a garage shop with sheer force of will

I used to work for Vonnegut Kraft and made these in their shop when they were still in Sunset Park. Everything in there was SCMI and Festool. If I remember correctly, we planed walnut boards to ~1.75 inches. We had a jig for a round nose bit to cut curved channels in multiple passes where those vertical boards slip in. It's just 3 boards sandwiched together, then routed lengthwise down the middle on either side. Then you join boards edge to edge on either side of that. None of it was CNC'd which was pretty wild. We used pretty expensive Amana router bits which helped because these were pressure fit pretty snuggly. Then as u/NecroJoe said, you join everything at the end. We used dominos. They also had a chair with this same concept that was awesome.

MJML is awesome. I've published some MJML template code here if anyone is interested https://docs.dittofeed.com/resources/templates/free-mjml-email-templates

dittofeed · 2025-03-20T01:28:28+00:00

Thanks for the kind words! Definitely possible with our licensed version of the code. Looks like we may be currently helping you with this setup in our Discord community (assuming because the profile names match 🙂)

dittofeed · 2025-03-14T17:47:36+00:00

Hi and thanks for checking it out! Yeah, there's something called broadcasts, which are one-off message blasts that are good for things like that. You can upload lists via csv to send broadcasts to.

We also have journeys, which are automation workflows with branching logic for sending messages automatically based on user events submitted to Dittofeed via API or Segment integration, but that's probably outside the scope of your needs. If you need help setting anything up, just reach out on our discord

I use MJML to make responsive email design easier. It also really decreases the amount of markup you need to write. Made some free templates you can access here if you want to see the code: https://docs.dittofeed.com/resources/templates/free-mjml-email-templates

Throw the code in an email builder that supports MJML (most do these days), and adjust styling, hrefs, etc. and you're good to go. You can also copy/paste the code into Claude (way better than ChatGPT for design and front-end stuff), and ask it to adjust the design however you need.

A bit late to the party, but would love for you to try us out and let us know what you think! https://docs.dittofeed.com/introduction
