Social media is rotten for the brain.
My New Yearโs resolution was to get addicted to it because I needed to build an online presenceโฆ

๐จ Is a $300 a month email SaaS necessary as an indie dev or has anyone experimented with automating their own email flow /marketing via their customer database?
Or have I found my next startup..AWS model. Free for really small users and scale up cost quickly for larger enterprises ๐
