Hi PH! I'm Zeno, founder of Resend. We're building a modern email sending platform focused on providing the best developer experience. Why? When you look at all the biggest competitors like Sendgrid, Mailgun, Postmark, and SparkPost, you'll notice that they were all founded around 2009/2010, and they all have been acquired by now. Because of that, it's common to see them only prioritizing enterprise requirements and optimizing for sales-led growth. Nobody is building an exceptional developer experience. Nobody is trying to innovate. There isn't a single developer-first email platform in the market today. We want to change that. Email sending is the kind of thing that you should integrate and forget, but instead, you have… 1. 🛠️ Templates that are hard to build: Typically, you can only send emails using HTML or plain text. Although we support both, we're introducing a new way of developing and sending your emails. With Resend, you can code your email using React instead of outdated layouts thanks to our open source project (https://react.email). 2. 🐢 Slow performance: Current solutions only offer a single region for email sending, even when all your end users are located in another part of the world. We allow you to choose what region your emails should be sent from (US, Europe, or LATAM), which minimizes latency and improves time-to-inbox. 3. 👀 Poor observability: Most tools keep you in the dark without knowing what really happened after you sent an email. Resend exposes all the events associated with your email via webhooks. 4. 🙋 Designed for marketers only: Existing solutions are too generic and built exclusively for product marketers and product managers. We're building a platform with a clean REST API and SDKs for Node.js, Python, Ruby, Elixir, Go, and Java. We also have examples of how to send emails using Vercel Edge Functions, Cloudflare Workers, Supabase Edge Functions, and other serverless solutions. What's our backstory? When I was a CPO at Liferay, I faced the problem of sending emails at scale. We had enterprise customers complaining about deliverability, and I've been frustrated with existing services ever since. More recently, as a VP of Developer Experience at WorkOS, I once again had to deal with emails landing in the spam folder. After looking at all the different solutions out there, I've been obsessed with the idea of solving this problem once and for all. We need to stop developing emails like it's 2010 and rethink how email can be done in 2023 and beyond. We believe that email development needs a revamp. A renovation. Modernized for the way we build apps today. That's why we're building Resend. What issues have you had with email sending? I would love to hear your ideas, experiences, and feedback on any and all of the above.

Congratulations on the launch! I've been using Resend in a couple of my projects for a few months now and I've loved my experience with it thus far. Incredibly easy to setup and integrate with. Looking forward to seeing how this product evolves as its user-base grows!

Absolutely love Resend! Congrats on the launch 🎉

Been watching the Resend team on Twitter for awhile now. Congrats on the launch! I will definitely give it a try in my next product.

Congrats @zenorocha! 🇧🇷

developers finally have a user-friendly email sending platform. it was about time! we recently implemented React Email at Documenso. will definitely share Resend with the team. keep up your great work, @zenorocha and team! 👏👏

I haven't met any developer who likes setting up transactional email on an app. This is a super cool product, well done!

Resent is a great service for sending transactional email. Definitely the easiest and most flexible email template editing experience I've ever had as a developer beats existing template-based approaches by mile. Congrats to the Resend team on their launch!

I've been using Resend as an indie maker, and it will also be my go-to solution for future products. Well built, easy to integrate, and it just works. Congrats team 👏

what a great product: powerful, smartly simple and easy to use. A game changer, a great startup led by great people. Let's go, Resend! 🔥🔥🔥

Resend is awesome. I really enjoyed using it. My main pieces of feedback are around the react integration. I think the code behind it could be refactored quite a bit and made to work on edge functions. Other than that, very happy.

Resend is a no brainer tool for any business. The team have built an amazing tool for developers, it just took couple of mins for me to setup & send first email to my customers.

I’ve enjoyed watching their updates over the last few months and it’s great to see a brand focus on details and design. 👏🏻

This is exactly what I've been looking for to take my email marketing game to the next level. Great work on the launch!

Current go to email platforms like mailchimp or sendgrid are super outdated and complex, they mostly serve enterprises too. This could change the game and be something we use in our new products! Congrats on the launch 🚀

Looks stylish! Congrats 🚀 Question: how is it different from the competitors, like what exactly makes it exceptional? And in terms of deliverability, whats the trick that for example Amazon can't offer? Thanks!

👍 Very interesting project! My vote is yours today. Do you have any plans to implement creating an email template for triggered emails within the platform?

I never thought how easy it is to use transactional email. It's truly an amazing product.

I recently created an account on Resend and was impressed by two things: how simple the onboarding process was, and how easy-to-use their Node.js API is. In addition, the beauty of the graphical interface and the meticulous attention to tiny details are everywhere. I strongly recommend it. Congratulations, guys!

I appreciate how much care Resend is putting into the details and entire user experience for developers. Gives me early Stripe vibes. What's been the biggest surprise or learning so far, @zenorocha?
