Ask HN: Anyone replaced enterprise email marketing with something self-built?

Wed, 05/13/2026 - 11:26am

We're a smallish startup currently paying $150k+ a year for Salesforce Marketing Cloud (SFMC) to send email marketing and trigger email.

The cost of this pains me, and it doesn't help that our campaign manager hates using SFMC's slow / glitchy web app. We have a solid internal data infra and self-built platform, and a highly effective dev team.

I long to just replace the whole thing with SendGrid + React Email/MJML + some cron jobs + a job queue for sequences. And spend that money on a developer's salary.

Has it been done / can it be done / have you done it? Give me some hope (or scare me off!)

Note: I don't intend to actually send the email myself, I'm aware deliverability would suck. For our volume, Amazon SES or SendGrid can do that for ~$10k a year.

Show HN: Polar Balance – a bipolar mood tracker I built for my wife

Wed, 05/13/2026 - 11:25am

My wife wanted a mood tracking app to track her habits and bipolar disorder. It's super useful for noticing new swings and trends. Unfortunately, every app was either too clunky or paywalled. In the end, she started using Google Sheets to track it.

I built Polar Balance to be clean, cute, and fun. It's supposed to be quick for the user. Answer 5 daily questions, and you're done. It does the statistics for you. Plus, the notifications are all penguin-themed. Each user gets a super cool penguin fact and a reminder to log their day. It's supposed to feel fun, not clinical.

This is my first solo-shipped iOS app. A few things I kept in mind: - Logging a mood is the first thing you can do, not onboarding - Data stays on your device unless you decide to link it to a gmail or iCloud account - iPhone now, Apple Watch companion coming in version 2.0

I'd love to hear feedback from those who would benefit from a mood-tracking app. Happy to get into the build, privacy choices, or anything else!
