Please share: I'm currently looking for an artist to do illustrations for Keila (Open Source newsletter tool). I'm looking for a cute, minimal style of vector illustrations. Not looking for AI stuff 🙏 Attached image is an example of the style I'm looking for. #art #design #illustration #commission

LLMs usually work great for translations, but you shouldn't use them without QA, @signal.org The "at" in flag_at is not a preposition and should not be translated as "flagge_bei" and the "pt" in flag_pt is not an abbreviation for "point", so it should not be translated as "markierungspunkt" 😉

Image resizing is now live on Keila Cloud! Can't believe I didn't add this feature earlier 😅 #buildinpublic #opensource #uxdesign #emailmarketing

Coming later today to Keila: Adjusting image size and alignment in both the Block editor and the Markdown editor. #buildinpublic #opensource #emailmarketing

I'm currently considering switching from hCaptcha to altcha.org for Keila Cloud. Does anybody have real-world experience with large-scale Altcha deployments (bonus if with #Elixirlang)? #webdev #buildinpublic

Today I'm releasing v0.19 of Keila, the Open Source email newsletter tool. This adds welcome emails, better bot protection, new translations, and upgrades to Phoenix 1.7. You can give it a try at keila.io or set up a self-hosted instance. #opensource #selfhosting #elixirlang #buildinpublic

It's 1 am and I'm thinking about building a custom Oban scheduler with rate-limiting and ramp up for Keila ... #elixirlang

Small improvement to the Keila block editor: You can now change the alignment of text ▶️🔼⬅️ #buildinpublic #ux #uxdesign #opensource

I'm considering replacing the tabs (image 2) with an accordion in the Keila form editor (image 1). Any opinions? #uxdesign #design #buildinpublic

Protected confirmation links are coming to Keila! When a confirmation or unsubscribe link is clicked very shortly after the email is sent, the action is only taken after a short delay. This helps prevent bots/antivirus scanners from accidentally taking an action on the users' behalf. #buildinpublic

Shout out to @eduardo.gurgel.me who's the awesome maintainer of Solid, an Elixir implementation of the Liquid templating language that we use in Keila. I filed a bug report last night, submitted a PR - and he's already published a new release! #opensource #elixirlang github.com/edgurgel/sol...

Small UX improvement: I'm adding an "Open" button to the forms overview in Keila, saving you a few clicks if you want to test or share a form. #buildinpublic #opensource #uxdesign

Updating Keila to Phoenix 1.7 and LifeView 1.x was no small task - but I think it's worth it! github.com/pentacent/ke... The Phoenix 1.8 update will probably come together with a UI revamp - a good chance to migrate to the new view-less structure. #elixirlang #opensource #buildinpublic

Doing some work on subscription management for Keila Cloud today. Fixed a bug where cancellation links went missing (not an intentional dark pattern!), added a feature to let users know how long a cancelled subscription is still valid, and added an option to resubscribe. #buildinpublic #saas

Здравей - hello there! Keila, the Open Source newsletter tool, is now available in Bulgarian thanks to another wonderful volunteer contribution! #buildinpublic #opensource #i18n #translation #bulgaria #bulgarian

Hey @github.com, wouldn't it be nice if this popup showed how to check out a PR with vanilla git? In the current state, it feels like a bit of a dark pattern to me. #softwaredevelopment #git #github

What's going on here? Is this an AI bot gone wild? #bluesky #technology

Good morning - Jó reggelt! Keila is now available in Hungarian! Thank you to TrueQAP on GitHub for contributing this. 🇭🇺 #i18n #opensource #buildinpublic

Updating Gettext from 0.x to 1.0 isn't entirely trivial - because Keila has custom translation helpers for handling Markdown. Fortunately there's a great post by @whatyouhi.de - so if you've also been delaying the update, give it a read! andrealeopardi.com/posts/refact... #myelixirstatus #elixirlang

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.
