There is a DDoS vulnerability in Plug, which is a library used by Keila. If you're using any version older than Keila 0.30.2, please update as soon as possible. cna.erlef.org/cves/CVE-202... #elixirlang #cve #security

Some people will tell you not to deploy on Fridays. Anyways, Keila 0.30.2 is now live! You can now change the contact status and choose different line heights in the classic template. The release also fixes some bugs from the 0.30.0 release. github.com/pentacent/ke... #buildinpublic #opensource

Today I'm releasing v0.30.0 of Keila, the Open Source email newsletter platform with two major improvements: 1) You can now specify MJML, HTML, and plain-text templates with content slots. 2) You can now send transactional messages via the API #buildinpublic #opensource #emailmarketing #elixirlang

www.youtube.com/watch?v=p5FW... Final episode 😭 Thank you for over 300 wonderful episodes, Mark and David @thinkingelixir.com - including one where somehow I ended up as the interview guest (No 55)! #elixirlang

Keila is now listed on euvetted.com and we're getting a decent 4/5 ⭐️! euvetted.com/p/keila Getting to 5/5 is already in the works! github.com/pentacent/ke... #buildinpublic #eutech #eu

Now all of the template refactoring is complete, transactional messages will be easy to add. Might still happen this week 🚀 github.com/pentacent/ke... #buildinpublic #opensource

It took me legit two days to decide that the input and output data structures of the new Keila email renderer should be called Renderer.Input and Renderer.Output. People have been saying it for a long time: Naming 👏 Things 👏 Is 👏 Hard 👏! #programming #elixirlang #dev

Validating email addresses is hard, but if you're using Elixir/Erlang, gen_smtp ships with an RFC 5322 parser! And it's easy to wire it up to an Ecto changeset: gist.github.com/wmnnd/25defa... #elixirlang #myelixirstatus

I'm happy that Keila is signatory to this open letter from Open Source companies to the European Commission initiated by @suse.com: www.suse.com/eu-tech-sove...

The Keila docs have gotten a little glow up! 🎨 Plus, the API docs are now directly integrated into the website (built automatically from the OpenApi spec). #dev #docs #opensource #webdev #buildinpublic

I think I'll have to stop using @zed.dev - at least for a while. I love Zed but it keeps using 100% CPU on macOS and I don't want to use my laptop as a space heater 😅

PSA: If you're using a git client that doesn't support intra-line diffs and doesn't understand whitespace, you're making your life more difficult. Sourcetree vs Sublime Merge Thanks @benfreu.bsky.social for the tip! #dev #software #development

This might not look like much, but people have been wanting to send campaigns with custom HTML for years so ... enjoy! #webdev #buildinpublic #opensource

Besides all the big changes I'm working on, here is a small QOL update: Independent scrolling of the code/preview the MJML editor in Keila. #buildinpublic #emailmarketing #opensource

There's an update for tz. Get it so your app doesn't have to keep auto-updating 😄 #elixirlang #myelixirstatus hex.pm/packages/tz

Sneak peak at the MJML code editor for a campaign with a template that offers a content slot. 👀 #emailmarketing #opensource #buildinpublic #mjml #email

Keila's new template system is going to be awesome. Introducing: MJML templates with content slots. This allows you to keep a consistent layout across multiple campaigns where only certain parts can be edited later. Great for shared workflows. #emailmarketing #buildinpublic #mjml #design

Currently working on a major new feature for Keila: MJML, HTML, and Plain text templates. This will allow you to better customize your messages - and it's another important building block for transactional emails. #opensource #webdev #emailmarketing

Today we're releasing version 0.20.1 of Keila, the Open Source email newsletter platform. It adds a new Brazilian Portuguese translation and pre-filled forms! 🇧🇷✍️ github.com/pentacent/ke... Some examples for the pre-filled forms: www.keila.io/updates/pre-... #buildinpublic #opensource #brazil

Introducing: pre-filled forms ✍ Do you already have some info about a contact or want to let subscribers update their details? You can now pre-populate any signup form using query parameters. Now on Keila Cloud. Example: app.keila.io/forms/nfrm_q... #buildinpublic #opensource #emailmarketing

Just deployed a small fix to the Keila block editor base template: Centered image alignment and column gutter rendering improved in Outlook. Still loving testi.at for testing these kinds of changes #buildinpublic #emailmarketing #html

24 hours on a train for a conference?! That's what I did to travel to #ElixirConf EU in Málaga. It's worth it! Flying emits 18x more CO2 and I can be productive while travelling. Plus, trains are cool. Win-win-win. (Writing this on my way back on the ICE from #O5F5 in Paris) #train #travel #climate

Second day of #05F5 Open Source Founders Summit in Paris! 🇫🇷 Lots of interesting conversations about Open Source and the specific challenges Open Source business are facing. #OpenSource #buildinpublic

Looking forward to spend two days learning and talking about the intersection of #OpenSource and business at the Open Source Founders Summit @05f5.bsky.social in Paris! #05f5

Don't forget your #Postgres indices, people! Just reduced a query from 7.3s to 20ms! #buildinpublic #sql #postgresql github.com/pentacent/ke...

If you're a freelancer or an agency with clients who need to send newsletters, consider Keila Cloud Partner Mode. Create & manage sub-accounts with a single billing relationship. www.keila.io/updates/part... #buildinpublic #emailmarketing

Please share: Hey, #Portuguese speakers from outside Brazil, I have a question! Keila (Open Source email newsletter tool) has received a volunteer translation to Brazilian Portuguese. If you visit the site, would you prefer seeing it in English or in Brazilian Portuguese? Obrigado! #i18n #portugal

Interesting response to an abuse report from a Swiss ISP (someone tried sending spam using one of their subdomains). They basically said: "Yeah, go ahead and block the entire domain, people keep gusing it for spam; we've already told other newsletter tools to block the domain". Uh, alright, I guess?

Version 0.20.0 of Keila, the Open Source email newsletter tool, is out now! It brings a completely new message rendering and delivery pipeline with major performance and scalability improvements. github.com/pentacent/ke... #opensource #buildinpublic #floss #elixirlang

Tonight (18:00 UTC) I'll be deploying a major technical improvement to Keila Cloud: a new scheduler and new rendering/delivery pipeline. This change won't be visible to users but will enable us to add transactional message support soon. I'll keep the status page updated: status.keila.io

Continuing the journey to #ElixirConf EU on the AVE Internacional from Avignon to Madrid. #trains #renfe #spain #sustainability 🇫🇷🚄🇪🇸

Crossing three countries by train* to get to #ElixirConf EU in Málaga! 2700km in 2 days 🚄🌱 #elixirlang #trains #travel

This is a dark pattern if ever I've seen one. If you try to create a business page on LinkedIn, they force you to download their app and then want you to send a picture of your ID card to a Peter Thiel-backed verification service. This is not mentioned anywhere in their docs, btw.

Today I'm happy to announce v0.19.1 of Keila, the Open Source email newsletter tool. This version adds an Italian translation, support for authless SMTP, image resizing, editor performance improvements and many fixes. github.com/pentacent/ke... Check it out at keila.io 🚀 #buildinpublic #opensource

Excited to be hosting a track at ElixirConf EU in Málaga next week. The Elixir community is always so lovely and I'm really looking forward to seeing everyone again 😊 Plus there are going to be some exciting talks in my track! #elixirlang @elixirconf.bsky.social

I just used zizmor to improve the security of our GitHub actions pipeline: github.com/pentacent/ke... Thanks to Michael from @paraxialio.bsky.social for the tip in the most recent @thinkingelixir.com episode! #myelixirstatus

Curious to hear about other people's experience with proof-of-work captchas in this "Ask HN" post: What's your experience with PoW captchas against form spam? news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4773... #buildinpublic #saas #spam #opensource

Hey #buildinpublic + #saas people, what's your experience with "$your_product vs $competitor" kind of articles? I've just published my first one here: www.keila.io/open-source-...

Please don't waste the time of Open Source maintainers with AI slop. A user had suggested a new feature and after discussing it with me, created a PR. Almost at the same time, someone created some sort of slop drive-by PR for the same thing. 😵‍💫 Why do people do this? #opensource #ai #buildinpublic

I'm currently writing a comparison post between Keila and Mailchimp and it's kinda shocking how expensive they are ... or is Keila just too cheap? #buildinpublic #saas #emailmarketing #dev #pricing

Speed is such an important differentiator for small companies. Two hours ago, a user reported a rendering bug that occurred in some email clients. The fix is already online now. This could not have happened in a big org 🚀 github.com/pentacent/ke... #buildinpublic #opensource #emailmarketing #dev

I'm trying to get a better understanding where Keila users are coming from. So I'm adding the dreaded cookie pop-up to the website. I hope this is transparent and doesn't bother visitors too much. #buildinpublic #gdpr #privacy

I was talked into creating a LinkedIn account. Really not loving it so far. ("One minute a day increases your attention and concentration - notify me so I can try LinkedIn Mind Games") 😱

New status page 🥳 status.keila.io

The website is back online, deployed with @caddy.bsky.social for the first time (because I didn't feel like setting up certbot on a holiday 😅)

I've been a paying user of UptimeRobot for many years, but since their latest pricing increase it's no longer possible to post updates to the status page if you're not paying $45/month - which seems a bit excessive to me.

There's currently a disruption for the Keila Website. The Keila app is not affected.

@kulpinski.dev Just saw this as a referrer on the Keila website: opensource.zone/keila - is this an official Chinese version of openalternative.co or just a copycat? 😅

Mamma mia! Da oggi, Keila è disponibile in Italiano 🥳 🇮🇹 Thank you Henrik for the great work! #opensource #i18n #italy #buildinpublic

TIL: element.classList.toggle is a super performant way of toggling HTML classes. The previous string-based implementation in the Markdown email editor caused significant lags in Firefox: github.com/pentacent/ke... #webdev #development #js
