I saved $2400/yr building my own email tool (with Claude Code!)

Ian Nuttall · Intermediate ·💻 AI-Assisted Coding ·11mo ago
Without ever looking at a single line of code, I was able to explain to Claude Code my idea to build an email app to replace beehiiv or ConvertKit and save thousands of dollars a year (Amazon SES costs ~$1 per 100,000 emails sent). Watch for an overview of what it built in just a few hours with no coding from me. It even told me exactly how to set up on Amazon which is probably the hardest and most annoying part!

And even if you didn't. ;)
