  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • LetterOpener

    Preview mail in the browser instead of sending.

  • I recommend https://github.com/ryanb/letter_opener for local development.

  • MailCatcher

    Catches mail and serves it through a dream.

  • One small tip: I’d recommend using mailcatcher (https://github.com/sj26/mailcatcher) in development. It will intercept emails sent by your app and runs a small web server at localhost:1080 to see if the issue is with your application code or with your mailgun configuration in prod. Also I’d write a unit test for your mailer if you haven’t already :)

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
