Hey everyone 😸

This is Raz and today I'm excited to announce the official launch of Notocat with you all! A lot of coffee beans have been sacrificed to get to this stage, so get ready, this is going to be a good one 😼

Before starting to work on the product I was looking to improve the writing experience of my other product's newsletter. Every time I needed to communicate with my subscribers I had to do way too many things to make sure the emails would send nicely. So then I built a Notion to Email HTML parser so I could at least write my newsletter in a much more excellent editor.

And that's how Notocat came to be. It started with the Notion parser, but now it has become a full-on Newsletter product where you can write in Notion, then customize and send with Notocat.

So what's Notocat?

Write in Notion - No need to look around for a better editor, Notion already handles this super nicely. More pluses if you already use Notion in your daily processes

Branding and customization - Brand your newsletters and customize your issues on top of Notion's styling in just a few clicks

Open & Click tracking - Inspect the issues you send to your subscribers and see detailed analytics on how your subscribers interacted with the emails

Custom domains - Add and send from your domains so your subscribers recognize you right away

Custom subscribe forms - Create beautiful subscribe forms and let your readers join your lists. Fully customizable and embeddable as well

API access for syncing contacts - You can plug in your existing applications to automatically manage your subscribers. For example, you can add a subscriber when a user signs up for your app.

Best in class deliverability - We use one of the best email services for sending your emails

Coming soon:

Scheduled sending - Select any time and date for your issues to be sent. Notion integration with the Calendar view coming soon too!

Publication site - Soon, you'll be able to generate a publication site and all your newsletter issues will be added to the archive so you can boost your SEO and your readers can read past issues

If this sounds like something that you can use and benefit from, don't hesitate to give it a try! Use code PH20OFF for a lifetime 20% discount and enjoy the simplified way of sending and growing your newsletters.

I'll be around in the comments, feel free to ask any questions ✌️

Beautifully designed and simple to use! I'm a big fan of Notion tools for SaaS products, and now I can send my newsletters in Notion! The best part is that it's super easy to get another team member to write the content because Notion is so simple to use. Great work Raz, can't wait to see this product evolve!
@dinkydani21 Thanks Danielle! 😻 Eagerly waiting for your feedback after you send your first newsletters 💌
Hey guys! This looks cool. I'm using Substack right now though. What would you say are the benefits of Notocat vis-a-vis Substack or perhaps Beehiiv? And how easy/hard would the migration and learning curve be? Only asking because as a solo-founder, I really need to be able to optimize my time and switching costs are *real*!! But it definitely does look cool and i'm bookmarking it to when I start a new newsletter or am ready to move :) 👏 @razvanilin @kotchanipha_pk 👏

@kotchanipha_pk @robinsinghvi Hey Robin, thanks for dropping by 👋 Notocat is indeed in the same space as Substack and Beehiiv. I'd say the biggest advantage of Notocat at the moment is the ability to keep and write the newsletter issues in Notion. One other aspect that I built as part of the platform is to easily plug in multiple newsletters in the same account. Perfect for SaaS owners with multiple businesses. Also, unlike Substack, Notocat has an open API that can be used to automate things like users signing up for your product and want to add them automatically to a newsletter.

On the disadvantages side, Notocat does not yet have a publication site where viewers can browse past issues. This is something we are currently working on and will be available soon though.

We will also create guides for migrations very soon. It will be possible to export subscribers as a CSV from the other services and then upload this to Notocat (not available just yet)

If you have some features that are valuable for your business, please let me know. I'm still at the exploration stage so would like to hear how I can make the platform more valuable for users ✌️

I'm always excited over tools to improve the writing experience.of newsletters. Notocat's features to bring this about are compelling. Can you give tips to further increase the writing experience while using the tool?
@adetokunbo_abiola Hey! 👋 Notocat leverages Notion for the writing part. Notion is best known for being the best-in-class editor and all that can be used to write newsletter issues in Notocat. So the only thing you have to do is to write a Notion page, and then Notocat will render it for you so that it looks nice in any email client ✨
