Post Description

I’ve watched too many freelancers, non-profits, and local business owners spend hours trying to send a "simple" newsletter. Even for tech-savvy marketers, the current tools have become so bloated that the "time-to-send" is frustratingly high.

So I’ve built Donbar, an easy-to-use email platform where the focus is SIMPLICITY. It is designed so you can send your first professional email in under 5 minutes.

Donbar includes all the features you actually need: – Easy Design – An intuitive email builder. – Email Tracking – Track opens and clicks. – Large File Support – Share files up to 1 GB. – Merged Tags & Contact Management – Simple but powerful ways to personalize.

Some of the best feedback I’ve received so far: "I usually need a day or two to get familiar with a new product, but with Donbar, I instantly 'knew' how it worked." My favorite was: "I expected Donbar to be easy, but I didn't expect it to be fun!"

Wondering what the power users think, Is simplicity a feature or a dealbreaker for you?

Would love your honest roasts and feedback.
