Hi there!
Welcome to the 157th freek.dev newsletter!
Today is special as my team and I have just launched Mailcoach Cloud. In most scenarios, Mailcoach Cloud is hands down the most affordable way to send newsletters and drip campaigns. This very newsletter you are reading was sent using Mailcoach Cloud.
In the first link below, you can read why and how we've built it, and what Mailcoach can do for you! We've put a ton of love into this product, and we hope it shows!
If you decide to subscribe, you can use this coupon code for one month free: ONEMONTHFREE. You can help us get the word out, by retweeting our launch tweet, or upvoting us on Product Hunt.
I also did another kind of launch: I released my fifth solo album. You can listen to it here on Spotify or Apple Music. This album was written and recorded in my little home studio all by myself. Enjoy!
Back to the programming front! At Full Stack Europe, I saw a very nice talk by Laila Bougria on how to debug distributed systems. The answer was to leverage a cool technology called open telemetry. I'm currently creating a new package to make it easy to get started with Open Telemetry in Laravel. I'll talk some more about it in the next newsletter.
Here are a couple of links I hope you'll enjoy as much as I did.
⭐ 🚀 Mailcoach Cloud is now available: affordable email marketing for bloggers, Artisans, and entrepreneurs
As said above, we're very proud to have launched our newest SaaS. Here's why and how we built it!
⭐ A Laravel package to add flags to Eloquent models
I'm proud to announce that our team has released a new package called spatie/laravel-model-flags. This one makes it easy to add flags to any model in your app.
⭐ My current setup (end 2022 edition)
Here's a list of all software / hardware / services that I use regularly.
⭐ Providing faster support using auto-impersonation
In the SaaS'es I usually work on, we've recently introduced an improvement to how we handle support. We call it "auto-impersonation". In this blog post, I'd like to tell you all about it.
⭐ Using jobs instead of commands in the schedule of a Laravel app
In a standard Laravel application, you can schedule Artisan commands in your console kernel. While that works for most projects, we took a different route in Mailcoach. Instead of scheduling commands, we're scheduling jobs.
