Very excited to hunt Abstract. We've been using Abstract at our company for a few months now and have gotten to know Emma. I'm super impressed with the product, documentation, support, and especially their responsiveness to our questions and feedback. We almost try to find more reasons to use Abstract in our code because we love the company so much :)

Mixmax is incredible. I've tried tons of different email add ons and all of them were missing something or were just unreliable, but Mixmax has been great. Happy to see them adding integrations!
