Show HN: Donbar – Email marketing made dead-simple

https://www.donbar.org/
2•ShmuelT•1h ago
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.

curious what tradeoffs you hit going for that under 5 minutes first send. most email tools either oversimplify and you lose customization, or they add so many options that simplicity flies out the window. how are you deciding what stays vs what gets cut for the non-technical users
ShmuelT•1h ago
Great question. The biggest tradeoff is the lack of complex automation.

For small businesses or people who want to get started fast, that simplicity actually covers the tradeoff, but I wonder what you guys think?
