In addition to our free tool, we just launched DMARC Digests to help protect your brand in email. Built in under 3 months, it’s a great example of what a small team can accomplish with loose structure and lots of autonomy. 🎉👏 to @mattantwest @isabanin @jeremypolley

Lots more details, including why we think @ActiveCampaign is the right team to take over Postmark and DMARC Digest are on wildbit.com.

We’re also excited for what’s next - for Natalie and I, the team, the products, and people-first. For now, we’ll watch and cheer from the sidelines while we take a break. What I do know is that we’re not done, but we’ll be right back. 💚

Today @natalienagele and I share that we've sold @postmarkapp and @dmarcdigests to @ActiveCampaign. After 21 years, we're ready for a reset and a real break, and we found partner who could help us do this in the most People-First way possible.

#emailgeeks, we’re releasing Ruthy Ribbit! 🐸 ✉️ 🐸 ✉️ 🐸 ✉️ Our newest #comic is about a frog. And a dog. And an email spam filter. All read to you by a certain someone whose name rhymes with Forkman Cheesemon. postmarkapp.com/postmark-expre…

What’s your biggest email pet peeve? We’ll start: Email delivery services that sell expensive dedicated IPs as the only surefire way to get better deliverability. 😡 Over the past months, we’ve heard many stories like this… 🧵

After almost 21 years running a remote company, we still don’t think remote-first works without in-person retreats and gatherings. wildbit.com/blog/2021/10/1…

Wildbit Products page by @efedorenko 👏 21 years of people and work. Scroll way down for the good stuff 😅

🔥 This week's newsletter is out! Designing beautiful transactional email for your @Bubble app with @Postmarkapp. I've made a video tutorial and a template to go along with this issue, everything you need to get started! nocodesaas.app/archive/779691

📣 The recent project led me down the rabbit hole of studying color theory and building a tool for designing accessible palettes. See why the HSL model sucks for systems work, WCAG 2.1 contrast ratios shouldn’t be trusted, and sometimes Figma isn’t enough: wildbit.com/blog/2021/09/1…

Epic post by @atheken on our process moving from Colo to AWS. It was a long, patient, and smooth process, choosing to refactor as we moved opposed to the typical lift and shift migration. Amazing work by Andrew and the team 👏

We're still chatting live about the 4-day week over here at @1a the1a.org/segments/kicks…

@jptoto @postmarkapp We survived 😉

If there was a service that helped you reduce your website's carbon footprint, would you use it? We’re experimenting with a new idea — and we'd love to get your feedback with this quick survey. wildbit.typeform.com/to/gMMWEcbD

@christophrumpel @postmarkapp 🙌 Deliverability is definitely hard, and constantly changing. One change we noticed (at Gmail specifically) is they also build separate reputation on From addresses (name@). So at the very least make sure to use separate addresses for each stream.

Update: After a week of research my head feels like 🤯 It's just a lot to learn about deliverability. Due to all the good feedback, I'm giving @postmarkapp a try. Their support has been amazing so far. I'm currently also checking out "sub-domains" blog.hive.co/everything-you…

🛑 Why I had to take off of my new course's landing page: (thread)

Is it possible to work 20% less and still produce at the same level? After switching to four-day workweeks, we think so. Not only has the quantity stayed the same, we believe the quality of our work improved. wildbit.com/blog/2020/12/1…

Come join my team! I'm hiring a marketing manager to join us at @Wildbit. The role is blend of growth, MoPs, and acquisition—and comes with our infamous 32-hour/4-day workweeks. Learn more (and watch a video!) here: wildbit.com/jobs/marketing…

@chrisbowler @efedorenko Most of my thinking happens away from the computer when I’m reading, walking, or sitting in the park. This is also a time I don’t want to use my phone, so capturing and organizing those ideas has to be quick and easy. Would be amazing if I could do it with Siri.

@efedorenko @cnagele It's interesting to hear this sentiment. I'm never doing the type of thinking/writing that I would use Roam for on my phone. What scenarios involve your phone that makes you think, “I wish Roam worked here!”?

Craft is a very interesting iOS/Mac note-taking app. Its block-based approach and bi-directional linking is more similar to Notion than Roam, but close integration with OS is truly glorious: craft.do
