Our weekly sponsor this week is Sifter, a lightweight, simple, and easy-to-use issue and bug tracker. It’s designed from the ground up to be simple for even non-technical team members to use, so everyone will stay involved.
One of the biggest problems with getting your team using any new app is getting everyone on board. When you need powerful tools to keep your developer team productive, it can be tough to get your less technical team members using them. Then, many apps cost more per user, making it a struggle to get approval to roll out the app to your whole team.
That’s where Sifter comes in. It’s simple for everyone to use, and all plans let you have unlimited users. Everyone can quickly report bugs online or through email, and with a simple workflow, no one will need training to get started. You can then filter through all of your issues and bookmark them, so you’ll easily be able to find just what you need to be working on.
Best of all, you can keep track of your progress on issues with milestones, priorities, and due dates. You can discuss issues with your team with threaded messages online and rich HTML emails, and can assign issues to individual team members. You can even integrate your internal apps with Sifter’s API, to keep everything together.
Go Get It!
If you’ve been looking for a simpler way to keep track of issues and bugs in your app, Sifter might be just what you’ve been looking for. You can signup today for a free 14 day trial, and if it seems like it fits the bill for your team, you can get a subscription starting at $29/month. Since every plan includes unlimited users, you’ll be getting your team working together in no time.

Our weekly sponsor this week is Sendy, a new self-hosted web app that makes it simpler and much cheaper to send email newsletters, using Amazon’s AWS simple email service.
If you’re wanting to send out email newsletters to thousands of customers, most email services will work out quite expensive. You’ll spend $200 at MailChimp or $105 at Campaign Monitor to send out 10,000 emails. With Amazon SES, you could send that many emails for just $1. The problem is, Amazon SES is a backend service for bulk-sending emails, not something you could just start sending emails with quickly.
That’s where Sendy comes in. It’s a self-hosted web app that you run on your own server or hosting service that lets you manage email lists and send rich emails through Amazon SES. You’ll be able to manage multiple newsletters, keep up with subscribers, and see detailed reports about every part of your email campaign. It’s got everything you could want from a full-featured email newsletter web app, one that you control 100%.
Go Get It!
If you’d like to get started sending email newsletters your way for less money than ever, you just might want to get a copy of Sendy today. It’ll cost $59, but is currently available for just $40. That’s a one-time payment, and after you own a copy, all you’ll have to do is pay Amazon SES’ low rates to send emails.
