Sure, what we've found is that many companies (including our own) publish a changelog, product update or newsletter at a monthly/weekly cadence. We can help solve for that. There are also qu…

We do a lot to prevent it, part of the reason we waited to launch. There are also hard caps with the free plan.

There’s a surprising amount of classifying happening at the content level. If you have a clean ip but then send content that raises flags (includes hot words, adult content, etc) then you’re going to …

Yeah I noticed they moved to a “hub” model which I think encourages that. Not a bad thing imo, companies were already treating it this way and they just formalized it. Fwiw, this was our first product…

We actually have a transactional API ( https://loops.so/docs/transactional/guide#sending-your-first... ) so similar in that way. Beyond that, our goal is to offer the single p…

I would really like to eventually open source core parts of Loops. I think parts of the editor makes sense, including the MJML. We spent an entire weekend extending MJML for Superhuman and it would be…
