Hi all, we just released Dittofeed 0.6.0. Dittofeed an open-source MIT licensed alternative to customer.io, mailchimp, braze etc. We've put a lot of work into v0.6.0, and I'd love y'all's feedback.

Highlights of the release:

- Support for reverse ETL: We worked with the company Polytomic, and they've developed an integration with Dittofeed. This is great, because it allows you to update the events you're ingesting by just writing sql, without requiring changes to your production codebase.

Some of the teams we're working with requested this because they've got small engineering teams, and their growth/marketing teams need to be able to operate independently.

- Reworked broadcasts: Broadcasts in Dittofeed are used for one of messages, like announcements or newsletter posts. We got feedback that the way previous way Broadcasts were handled was confusing to users. So we reworked them entirely.

- Email Test Messages: We provided a shortcut to testing email templates from the template editor view. Users use this to more conveniently check that emails render correctly in different clients, and to check that their email service provider credentials are configured correctly.

In more personal news, I got married! See the blog post for pictures :)

No worries, although the color of them is now considerably blown out and patchy due to the compression, and they're still relatively large. It's the high pixel size that's really affecting things. If you took the originals and resized them to 1168px width (the display width on that page) at about 75% quality (still JPEG) you'd probably end up with much better quality than you have now, and at lower file sizes. Squoosh is pretty good for playing around and comparing results.
