Marc Lou sends his first newsletter from his vibe-coded Beehiiv alternative

Day one after the breakup, and the replacement is already shipping mail. Marc Lou sent the first issue of his newsletter from the Beehiiv alternative he vibe-coded himself, and he puts the bill at 10% of what he used to pay. That's the scary part for every newsletter platform in the horde's path: no beta, no waitlist, just a working send. One issue doesn't prove deliverability at scale, but it does prove the tool exists outside a demo. Beehiiv took the hit, and every other SaaS on the island took notes.

Saving, as stated by the author: 10% of the cost
