I use Laravel as my tech stack, because that's what I know best and it has a very active ecosystem of free and/or paid plugins and components to help me go faster.

I use Laravel Mailcoach as my list and forwarding engine, Laravel Spark as my SaaS management GUI and Postmark to process incoming emails.

I had been looking for a service that would allow me to add a managed email forwarding list to anything. There's plenty of email marketing platforms, but none that had an 'email-API': I send to the list by sending to a special email address, links for subscription/unsubscription are added automatically and I still get stats on how many people read my forwarded email.

So I decided to start building it myself.
