Every SaaS product eventually hits the same wall: users want to send emails, and they want to design them themselves. So you go looking for an embeddable email editor.
Then you see the pricing.
Unlayer starts at $250/month. Beefree SDK at $2,500/month. Chamaileon is "contact us". For a bootstrapped product, that's often more than your entire infrastructure bill.
So I built Maillune.
What it is
A drag-and-drop email editor you embed as a single web component. Drop one tag into your app and your users get a full visual email builder — no iframe gymnastics, no proprietary lock-in.
<maillune-editor></maillune-editor>
Works with React, Angular, Vue, Svelte, or plain JS. The output is clean HTML you own.
Why a web component
Every SDK in this space ships as a React-only package or an iframe you have no control over. A web component works everywhere, stays out of your framework's state, and doesn't fight your existing styles.
Free to start
I'm a solo founder building this alongside a full-time job. The goal is simple pricing that makes sense at small scale, not enterprise contracts before you've shipped a single feature.
Would love to hear from anyone who's run into this problem before, what made you end up building your own editor instead of using an SDK?
