Dittofeed

MKT AUTO
Velocity0.0

Open-source customer engagement and marketing automation platform for email, SMS, and push messaging.

Open-source Braze alternative grinding through a slow alpha, now stalled

Current state
Dittofeed is an open-source customer-engagement and messaging platform (a Braze/Customer.io alternative). Its v0.24.0 alpha line is a steady stream of fixes and internal plumbing, with occasional batches of real UX work. The feed has gone quiet since late March 2026, so the latest visible release is now several months old.
Where it's heading
The direction is toward a more usable self-hosted dashboard and more reliable delivery: a command palette, a subscription-management page, subscription-group unsubscribe lists, custom SES endpoints, and a Resend SDK upgrade that fixed silent email-delivery failures. The rest is CI, test, and config maintenance around a single-maintainer cadence.
Prediction
If the alpha resumes, expect v0.24.0 to stabilize the subscription-management and delivery-reliability work already landed. The gap since March leaves near-term cadence unclear rather than pointing to a specific next release.
