That’s a neat script and one of the simplest setups I’ve seen for running a mailing list (even though I don’t understand everything the Lisp is doing).
I’m a massive fan of mailing lists and despite all the other alternatives I think for the right group of people they’re the perfect solution.
* Here comes the shameless plug *
I’m the founder of Gaggle Mail (https://gaggle.email/ https://gaggle.email/) which provides dead simple group email. Our customers are as far from the HN crowd as you can get; non-technical, generally elderly but they’re desperate for something simple, with few features that does just what they need - and they’re willing to pay!
There’s a real market for taking what appears as a simple technology to most techies and dumbing it down to make it accessible to a wide and willing market.
- nicolaslem 7y agoIt's a great project you have here. Just be careful with the grammar, from the homepage: "Gaggle Mail gives your group it's/its own permanent email address".
- shutton 7y agoThanks for that, I appreciate it.
- twic 7y agoOho! I could really do with a host for a small mailing list to help manage a meetup. May i be so bold as to ask how the sustainability of this business looks? How likely do you think it is it will still be around a year from now?
- shutton 7y agoI’d say pretty sustainable - but I’m biased! We’re bootstrapped and have been profitable from day one. We’ve been around for just over 4 years and have about 1500 paying customers.
