Self-host a newsletter signup with Resend

Placeholder — sample content written to exercise the publishing pipeline. Not launch content.

Your subscriber list is the one audience asset no platform can take away — if you own it.

The shape#

1. A signup form posts an email to your API route.
2. The route stores it and triggers a welcome email.

// app/api/subscribe/route.ts (sketch)
export async function POST(req: Request) {
  const { email } = await req.json();
  // validate, store, then send via Resend
  return Response.json({ ok: true });
}

Why self-host the capture#

• The list lives in your database.
• You can move email providers without losing anyone.

Rent the sending. Own the list.
