zenorocha··on Launch HN: Resend (YC W23) – Email API for developers using React
Both founders come from an open source background, so having some sort of open source component was very important to us.
zenorocha··on Launch HN: Resend (YC W23) – Email API for developers using React
Totally, adding that 301 redirect now
zenorocha··on Launch HN: Resend (YC W23) – Email API for developers using React
That's great idea! Today we have some integrations (https://resend.com/docs/integrations) available, but it requires you to use a separate service.
zenorocha··on Launch HN: Resend (YC W23) – Email API for developers using React
That's totally fine, you can still send emails using HTML or Plain Text.
zenorocha··on Launch HN: Resend (YC W23) – Email API for developers using React
That's pretty bad, looks like some UI bug. We're investigating it right now.
zenorocha··on Launch HN: Resend (YC W23) – Email API for developers using React
Awesome! Can you show me when you're done? I'd love to see it :)
zenorocha··on Launch HN: Resend (YC W23) – Email API for developers using React
Roger that.

Adding support for inbound emails is definitely on our roadmap.

Great idea on the migration guides!

zenorocha··on Launch HN: Resend (YC W23) – Email API for developers using React
Thanks a lot for the advice here. That's definitely an area where we spend a lot of time and one of the reasons why we've been under a private beta for the last six months.

We do have PHP [0] and Laravel SDKs [1]. It's mentioned on the homepage as well.

Are you currently using it? I would love to hear what you like most about it.
zenorocha··on Launch HN: Resend (YC W23) – Email API for developers using React
That's why we built react.email, you should check these examples: https://demo.react.email/preview/airbnb-review
zenorocha··on Launch HN: Resend (YC W23) – Email API for developers using React
Definitely on the roadmap
zenorocha··on Launch HN: Resend (YC W23) – Email API for developers using React
It's actually 3,000 emails for free with Resend
zenorocha··on Launch HN: Resend (YC W23) – Email API for developers using React
Yeah, that would be great. Out of curiosity, what's your use case for sending emails via CLI?
zenorocha··on Launch HN: Resend (YC W23) – Email API for developers using React
How long does it take to have my domain whitelisted? - It usually takes only a few minutes depending on the DNS propagation

Should I be able to send emails under one domain? - Yes, you can add as many domains as you want in case you wanna send from multiple domains

Do you support react-native? - Resend is designed to be used in the backend, so you'll have to call an API from react-native

Can I send it from the backend (eg next.js server-side backend)? - Yes, here's a Next.js example: https://resend.com/docs/send-with-nextjs

Is it for only transactional emails? - It's designed around transactional emails, but you can use it for other use cases

Ohh nice, thanks for the cross-posting there Filipe!
zenorocha··on Launch HN: Resend (YC W23) – Email API for developers using React
That's a great analogy, big fan of Vadim's ink project btw.
zenorocha··on Launch HN: Resend (YC W23) – Email API for developers using React
Cool! Let me know if you need any help with the integration
zenorocha··on Launch HN: Resend (YC W23) – Email API for developers using React
Thanks damianricobelli! We spent a lot of time making sure that dashboard was simple and clear, I'm glad you noticed it :)
zenorocha··on Launch HN: Resend (YC W23) – Email API for developers using React
Thanks a lot lucasfcosta! Let me know when you start integrating, I would love to hear your feedback.
zenorocha··on Launch HN: Resend (YC W23) – Email API for developers using React
Sure!

Most front-end teams are using React nowadays. What happens when you adopt another email service is that they want you to learn the template language that they use - Handlebars, Mustache, etc.

Instead of having to learn how to do things with that language, your front-end team can re-use everything they already know from React land. Imagine being able to import the same button you have on your web app into your email template.

Not only that, but you can also use stuff like Tailwind to help with the styling of your email.

zenorocha··on Launch HN: Resend (YC W23) – Email API for developers using React
We render the React components on the server side.
zenorocha··on Launch HN: Resend (YC W23) – Email API for developers using React
That's a valid point.

The web is also pretty stable, but when you look at the past 10-15 years, there's been so much evolution around it.

Doing things like rounded borders or dark mode is still very difficult, especially when you take into consideration all the different email clients like Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo Mail, Superhuman, and HEY.

The web evolved, and now we don't hear too many complaints about having to design your website to look the same across all browsers as before. Unfortunately with email, this is still an open problem.

Thanks leggetter, it means a lot coming from you.
zenorocha··on Lessons learned from growing a 6,338 people waitlist in 7 weeks
I’d start one as soon as possible. Even an audience of 10 people is better than an audience of 0 people.

Secondly, I’d explore more channels rather than Twitter. Reddit, HN, and even Facebook Groups (yep, there are still people using those).

Third, I’d look deep into my network to see if there was anyone that could amplify the message. I’d ask every single friend I have and beg them to share. Even 1 RT could make a difference.

Happy to answer any specific questions about this :)
zenorocha··on Why I spent $25,000 on a domain (or how to pick a startup name)
Question for you: How much did you pay for your domain? Drop a comment so other founders can learn from your experience too.
zenorocha··on The two types of software quality
After watching a talk from Kevin Hale (former YC partner) on How to Build Products Users Love, I decided to write about quality applied to software and technical products. I would love to hear your thoughts about this piece.
zenorocha··on WorkOS raises $80m in Series B financing, acquires Modulz
Great idea on the architecture blog post!

Unfortunately there was a confusion on that TechCrunch piece. Stripe, Scale and Airtable are not WorkOS customers yet. However, there are some big names like Vercel, Webflow, Loom, and many others. [0]
