Mailcoach v2 has been released with support for custom HTML editors and multiple mailers original

by Freek Van der Herten – 9 minute read

A couple of months ago, my team released Mailcoach, a self-hosted solution to send out newsletters. It sends out mail via services like Amazon SES, Mailgun, Sendgrid, and Postmark. It can optionally track opens and clicks. When your email list grows, this is a much more cost-effective solution when compared to a service like Mailchimp.

Mailcoach can be used as a premium Laravel package or as a stand-alone app. When installed into a Laravel app, it can be greatly customized. The Mailcoach stand alone app can be used without knowing how to program.

Today we're releasing v2 of Mailcoach. It offers support for Laravel 7, html editors, and multiple mailers, together with a bunch of quality of life improvements. In this blog post, I'd like to walk you through these features and show some technical details.

A newsletter about programming, design, and other related topics

My colleague Sebastian started a new side project: a newsletter about programming, design, and other related topics.

Growing the Stack is a biweekly—as in, once every two weeks—newsletter about programming, design, and other related topics. The newsletter isn't tied to any programming language or ecosystem, and it's not meant keep you up to date with all the new & shiny tools out there. It tries to bundle content that inspires. Content that triggers you to consider and try out new ideas.
