Major changes to Mandrill, must be tied to a MailChimp account
I have a proposal. I'll give all the transactional email competitors (mailgun, postmark, sparkpost, etc) a week to get their shit together and come up with a migration proposal for all of us moving away from Mandrill. I'm sure they're scrambling around trying to figure out how to take advantage of this ridiculous situation, and I bet a bunch of them are on HN. So how about this:<p>1. Any HN user trying to figure out what to do next, leave me your email on this Google Form: <a href="https://docs.google.com/forms/d/16wrzK3srobnRKXzbhpsftCvmhgfEh7r11OmPiTo_7e0/viewform" rel="nofollow">https://docs.google.com/forms/d/16wrzK3srobnRKXzbhpsftCvmhgf...</a><p>2. Any transactional email provider, write a blog post or something with how to migrate to your platform. Include differences vs. Mandrill with regard to pricing, API, DNS, etc and anything else you can think of to ease our transition - maybe promise of an upcoming Mandrill template importer, coupon to price-match, etc. Email me the link (contact info in HN profile)<p>3. In one week (Thursday, March 3, 1200 UTC), I'll email everyone in (1) the responses I get from (2)<p>I promise not to spam people who leave their email address and will only ever send just the single email next week, and then delete the Google Form and its responses. Check my HN history, I'm just a developer trying to figure out what to do now. My hope is that enough hot leads in one place will be incentive enough for the various competitors to spend a bit of time writing a detailed migration plan (which would help me!), and they probably can't make a good one while this thread is still on the front page.
