  Some people will tell you not to deploy on Fridays. Anyways, Keila 0.30.2 is now live! You can now change the contact status and line heights in the classic template. The release also fixes some bugs from the 0.30.0 release. https://github.com/pentacent/keila/releases/tag/v0.30.2 #buildinpublic #opensource

  There is a DDoS vulnerability in Plug, which is a library used by Keila. If you're using any version older than Keila 0.30.2, please update as soon as possible. https://cna.erlef.org/cves/CVE-2026-54892.html #elixirlang #cve #security

  "But Ethan, I'm a real person, not a bot!" To this day, I'm still sending a personal welcome email to every person who signs up to Keila. This has led to a lot of great conversations, even though in this case it was not appreciated 😅 #buildinpublic

  Indie vs VC mindset: We experienced database slowdowns during higher than usual sending volume. Instead of throwing money at the problem and just scaling the Postgres instance, I optimized queries and indexes (the cliff in the graph) - and we're now at a lower db CPU baseline than before. Yay! 😁 #buildinpublic #opensource #indiedev

  Currently building some sample campaigns to show off the upcoming new campaign editor for Keila! Still a bit hesitant to release it just yet but I think it will be a huge improvement over the old block editor. #buildinpublic #uxdesign #emailmarketing #mjml #opensource

  I'm happy to announce the release of Keila 0.30.3 which brings major improvements in the rendering performance with large MJML or HTML campaigns. In a synthetic 256 KB template benchmark, this resulted in a 13x speedup when running on my laptop. For context: most real templates are much smaller (<20 KB). #buildinpublic #opensource #emailmarketing

  I talked to a friend today about the fact that in the age of AI slop, people just don't care about the small details anymore. Anyways, here I am on a Friday night making tweaks to a dialogue (adding the singular form and segment names). #opensource #buildinpublic #ux #ui

  I'm currently considering switching from hCaptcha to https://altcha.org for Keila Cloud. Does anybody have real-world experience with large-scale Altcha deployments (bonus if with #Elixirlang)? #webdev #buildinpublic

  Coming later today: Adjusting image size and alignment in both the Block editor and the Markdown editor. #buildinpublic #opensource #emailmarketing

  Image resizing is now live on Keila Cloud! Can't believe I didn't add this feature earlier 😅 #buildinpublic #opensource #uxdesign #emailmarketing

  It's really incredible how fast @josevalim reviews PRs for Elixir. 💜 Tiny documentation improvement for something that tripped me up the other day: https://github.com/elixir-lang/elixir/pull/15187 #elixirlang #myelixirstatus

  TIL: element.classList.toggle is a super performant way of toggling HTML classes. The previous string-based implementation in the Markdown email editor caused significant lags in Firefox: https://github.com/pentacent/keila/commit/7c258048b276ec1b4195505245bce9e06b075a2c #webdev #development #js

  Please share: I'm currently looking for an artist to create some illustrations for Keila. I'm looking for a cute, minimal style of vector illustrations. Not looking for AI-generated stuff 🙏 Attached picture is an example of the style I'm looking for. #art #design #illustration #commission (And just to be clear, I'm willing to pay; I'm not looking for free illustrations.)
