By supporting LaravelSMTP here, you’ll help:</p> <ul> <li>Keep the <strong>package free and open-source</strong>.</li> <li>Fund the development of the <strong>hosted dashboard</strong>.</li> <li>Enable new features like failover, webhook management, and domain warm-up tools.</li> </ul> <h2> 🙌 What You’ll Get </h2> <ul> <li>Early access to new features before public release.</li> <li>Behind-the-scenes updates on what I’m building.</li> <li>A chance to influence roadmap decisions (your feedback will guide features).</li> <li>Recognition in our GitHub/Docs as a supporter ❤️.</li> </ul> <h2> 🚀 Join the Journey </h2> <p>LaravelSMTP is still young, but with your support, we can make it the <strong>default way Laravel developers send email</strong>.</p> <p>Thank you for being here at the very beginning.
