About The Project

This is an open-source platform to launch your own Morning Brew like newsletter. It has all needed features built-in: creating new issues, web portal, role management, delayed sending, subscribe, unsubscribe, automated market info fetching and other cool stuff.

Originally, I used this project internally to host my own russian-speaking version of Morning Brew. I got around 200 users, send more than 10K emails and more than 60% opening rate, so this platform is quite real world tested :)

Built With

Technology stack is actually pretty simple. It is all powered by Django.

Getting Started
