Now live on Keila Cloud: Configure welcome emails for your newsletter signup forms. A great way to offer free downloads or discount codes for new subscribers! Give it a try on keila.io 👀 #buildinpublic #emailmarketing #newsletter #opensource

Coming soon: Add welcome emails to your forms in Keila. This is great if you want to share private links with new subscribers - or just to say hi 👋 Of course, this works in conjunction with double opt-in: if it's enabled, the welcome email will be sent after the email confirmation. #buildinpublic

I'm happy to announce v0.18 of Keila, the Open Source email newsletter tool. This release adds smarter segments, public archive links, editor improvements, and many fixes. You can give it a try at keila.io or set up a self-hosted instance. #opensource #selfhosting #myelixirstatus

Keeping the menu fixed is a small but useful improvement to the MJML editor. Thank you, position: sticky. #css #buildinpublic #uxdesign #emailmarketing

Oh neat, Keila is listed on the EuroStack website 🥳🇪🇺: euro-stack.com/solutions/ke...

Currently considering adding a subscription-free option for keila.io. Maybe something like 2500 credits (valid for one year) for 35€. Mailchimp's smallest offer is 5000 credits for 170€. #buildinpublic

Happy new year - Frohes neues Jahr - Bonne année - and now also: Feliz año nuevo! Keila is now available in Spanish 🥳 🎆 Thank you to Pedro for submitting the PR! github.com/pentacent/ke... #opensource #buildinpublic #i18n

Feeling inspired by the annual new year's tradition of @tim.pritlove.org and already preparing my VAT filings for the last financial quarter of 2025. 🎆 🍾

Not loving that I'm getting this from #GitHub on my home network when accessing my own repository from a notification email. I'm not a scraper, I swear!

You can now directly link to the web version of your newsletter campaign in Keila like this 🧑‍💻 www.keila.io/docs/public-... #emailmarketing #buildinpublic #opensource #liquid

Without having read these emails, my guess is that things are getting more expensive ... Did Atlassian and GitHub coordinate this?

Small user experience improvement for Keila: When sending preview emails, the subject lines are now prefixed with [Preview] to make sure you can tell you haven't accidentally sent out your campaign. #buildinpublic #opensource #emailmarketing

My jaw just dropped: In 2023, I paid €180 for a three-year code-signing certificate (required to sign Windows apps). Now, Sectigo and Digicert charge over 500€ PER YEAR. 🤯 #indiedev #windows #softwaredev

Can we hit 2,000 stars on GitHub for Keila (Open Source email newsletter tool) before the end of the year? github.com/pentacent/ke... #opensource #floss #github #buildinpublic

Currently working on the new template system and migrating the base template to MJML. I'm also taking the opportunity to refine the typography and apply the Major Third scale to the default font sizes. 🎶 📖 #buildinpublic #opensource #design #myelixirstatus #newsletter

The simplicity of Markdown editing plus the flexibility of fully custom MJML/HTML templates? Yes, please! (currently work in progress) #buildinpublic #emailmarketing #opensource #floss #foss

I am so happy that this feature is finally live. It's probably not a big deal to most users but it took a lot of time and work. www.keila.io/updates/send... #buildinpublic #indiehackers #emailmarketing

I'm happy to report that keila.io is not affected by the current Cloudflare outage 🌍 #cloudflare #cloudflaredown

Someone just tried to register a Keila Cloud account with the email address [email protected]. This is obviously not going to work but I can appreciate it - it's the kind of fake address I'd personally also use when I don't want to give out my own.

#ElixirLang people: Which option do you prefer? 🟣 if not is_nil(entity) 🟢 if entity 🔴 I don't use if #myelixirstatus

Here is a neat little trick when you need to test a verification flow in #PhoenixFramework: gist.github.com/wmnnd/cb80d4... It's a common pattern to pass a URL generator to a context function. But you can pass a function that captures the token with an Agent instead. #elixirlang #myelixirstatus

Currently working on making life easier for people who don't have their own domain. Does this messaging seem clear and helpful? #buildinpublic #ux #uxdesign

Available now on Keila Cloud: Segments based on campaign interactions. This allows you to target contacts who have (or have not) interacted with your previous campaigns. #buildinpublic #emailmarketing #newsletter #opensource www.keila.io/updates/inte...

Coming soon to Keila: Filtering contacts by whether they have been sent, have opened or clicked a campaign. #buildinpublic #emailmarketing

If you've just hit "Send" on an email newsletter, what would you expect a "Cancel" button to do? What would you expect to happen if some emails have already gone out? Any feedback is appreciated 😊 github.com/pentacent/ke... #buildinpublic #opensource #ux

In #ElixirLang you can simply write :timer.hours(2) instead of 2 * 60 * 60 * 1000 #til #myelixirstatus

Who else keeps getting fake vulnerability reports paired with extortion attempts in their inbox? This is really annoying because obviously I would be very interested if there was an actual vulnerability in one of my projects. #spam #security #buildinpublic #indiehackers

If you want to get the same report for your GA4 and GSC properties, WebTrafficWatch is free and setting it up takes only a few seconds. www.producthunt.com/products/web...

Do things that don't scale: A Keila customer called me while I was at the gym. Normally, I wouldn't have been back at work for at least 1.5 hours. Instead, I ran home, activated their account, and then returned to the gym. Extra workout, happy customer. Win-win. #buildinpublic #indiehackers 💪

Does anyone have experience in reporting fraud to banks? I tried to report an account being used for a scam to Santander Portugal but their phone support said only customers can report fraud and their online chat is broken.

www.thepinknews.com/2025/08/14/m... I shared this article from @pinknews.bsky.social on Hacker News and it reached the front page within a few minutes. A few minutes later, it was "flagged" and hidden from the front page without explanation. #hackernews #ai #lgbtq #meta #zuckerberg

Here's a cool new little feature for Keila: The success redirect URL from signup forms can now include Liquid tags. This means you could now redirect to example.com/$contact_email to show a personalized message! #emailmarketing #buildinpublic

Currency devaluation in action: Back in January, 8 USD was worth about 8 EUR. The Dollar has since fallen so far that $8 now equals only €6.90. Unfortunately this means I have to raise the USD prices for new Keila XS subscriptions from $8 to $9.50. #buildinpublic #inflation #currency

TIL: Safari hides SVGs in Flexbox containers if they don't have an explicit width attribute. This seems like a bug to me. svg {width: 100%} should fix the issue and hopefully not cause unexpectedly large images elsewhere🤞. #webdev #css #buildinpublic #webkit github.com/pentacent/ke...

Another small bugfix: When an existing contact submits a form with double opt-in, they actually receive the confirmation email now: github.com/pentacent/ke... #buildinpublic #opensource #bug

Small but powerful quality of life improvement suggested by @lislegaard.bsky.social and now live on Keila Cloud: When you create a new campaign, the settings from your latest previous campaign are automatically used as the default. github.com/pentacent/ke... #buildinpublic #opensource

Don't forget: Once you get an @letsencrypt.bsky.social cert for your domain, it's public. This is mere seconds after I deployed an app for the first time on a previously unused domain. #selfhosting #security

Hey #elixirlang people, how do you usually structure code with Oban workers for async processing? ⚙️ #myelixirstatus

Sometimes, a UI doesn't feel right because it's too fast. The solution: Just slow it down a bit. #uxdesign #ui #screenshotsaturday #buildinpublic #indiedev

Everything up and running again 😅

Looking at the bright side: At least as an #indiehacker I'm sufficiently agile so that I can add a banner like this when it suddenly becomes necessary. #buildinpublic 😑

There's currently an interruption in the Send with Keila service on Keila Cloud. You can also follow this issue on our status page: status.keila.io

Working on simplifying the Sender form (while also working on a big update for Send with Keila on Keila Cloud). I found that a lot of users filled out the reply-to fields even though they aren't really necessary. So I think I'll hide them in an expandable element now. #buildinpublic #uxdesign

Hey fellow #ElixirLang people: Are you using Dev Containers for working with Elixir? Are you all using the elixir image as the base? #vscode #buildinpublic

The new social icons feature for our email editor is now live. Moving on to bigger changes - coming soon: automations! ⛰️ #buildinpublic #opensource #emailmarketing

Coming soon: A new social media icons block for the newsletter block editor in keila.io. Let me know if you have any suggestions or questions before I release it next week! #buildinpublic #socialmedia #indiehackers #opensource #floss #emailmarketing #uxdesign

Hey #indiehackers and #buildinpublic folks, what are you doing to stop spammers and scammers from abusing your SaaS? A paywall alone isn't enough for Keila - we had ten fraudulent accounts just last week! I've cancelled and refunded all of them because they're probably using stolen payment info.

Coming soon: After sending a campaign in Keila you'll be able to review it again 👀 #buildinpublic #emailmarketing #opensource #ui #uxdesign

Hey, my Spanish-speaking friends! I want to make Keila more accessible to folks from around the world. So I've tried creating a Spanish version of the Keila website with an LLM. Does this sound about right? #i18n #translation #spanish #espanol #OpenSource

Public newsletter archives for Keila (publishing your newsletter as a website) have long been requested by users and I'm currently working on adding them 🧑‍💻 #buildinpublic #emailmarketing #opensource #floss
