Hi all! Excited to share cc.dev after months of work and refinement. The idea for this product came from trying to do email marketing for my side project, CubeDesk, a site where Rubik's Cube enthusiasts can time themselves, race with one another, train algorithms — it's a fun niche! With over 40k users, sending even a single campaign was becoming expensive with MailChimp. I was using AWS SES to send my transactional emails and knew it was really cheap, but it’s just an API with none of the other necessities you need for a robust email marketing platform. Beyond cost, I was also frustrated with having to make sure my database was always in sync with the platform I was using. If I wanted to email every user who had completed 10 solves in the database, that would be a whole ordeal and eat up hours of my day. So, I started (and am now launching) cc.dev! cc.dev connects directly to your database and lets you write SQL queries to target your audience. It also uses AWS SES in the backend to send emails, so the cost is significantly less than something like MailChimp. Combined with a template builder, media management, and campaign monitoring, cc.dev is meant to be your final destination whenever you need to email your users.
