Anzee. Build integrations so you could have a Mailchimp-anzee setup. If it's a company you're starting, think about the headlines: "Mailchimp-anzee merger".

Option 2:

"Howler". Since it blasts campaigns, campaigns are "howls" instead of "campaigns".

Also: Howler is a monkey that lives in the Amazon. Since you mentioned Amazon Web Services integration. It's a twist on mailchimp and AWS.

If we want to be a bit douchey, we could drop some letters to get Howlr or Hwlr.

Option 3:

"Hermes", who is the "the herald of the gods, as well as the protector of human heralds, travellers, thieves, merchants, and orators." according to Wikipedia.

Your users are the gods. The fact it sends messages for a fraction of the cost plays on merchants/thieves/travellers having a tight relation with money.

If not Hermes, then "Augur". Again, douchey: "Augr" or "Ogur".

Option 4:

"Colporteur" or "Colport": A colporteur is a peddler. A seller who goes around small villages or isolated places[your software reaches even the most isolated people] and screams to villagers or a place's inhabitants what's to sell/buy. Typically, the inhabitants, hearing the colporter's cries will go down and haggle/trade, buy or sell. These "screams" have a certain "rythm" and aren't disagreeable, which you can use as a metaphor for a "campaign" in your software.

Also known as a "Hawker", apparently from the Wikipedia entry.

These are so well thought out!

It's funny you mention dropping some letters because my other project is AutoGradr :D

Just checked out https://autogradr.com/. When I clicked on Signup, it went to https://autogradr.app/signup. Is there a reason it's not in autogradr.com since you control the domain?

Also, it asked for my role with two choices "Instructor" or "Student". I'm paralysed, now because I could be an instructor for some, and a student for others. How will this dictate the future experience? Will I be able to switch roles? Will features of the one be unavailable for the other?

- No good reason really. I prefer having "app" in the URL and I was already using app.autogradr.com subdomain for an older version. During the migration, I had to keep both of them running so I opted to get the new domain.

- That's a good point about the role. Surprisingly, it is not common for users to switch roles. I had punted this functionality until I would need it but even after a lot of usage, no one has requested for this feature. However, as an instructor you can get the "student" view.

If you want mailslam.com I'll transfer it to you. I was going to build something similar but in reality I'll never get around to it.

Please make a show HN when you launch it. I’m currently a Sendy user but would love to find alternatives especially if they are not in PHP.

Not my project but this was posted on HN a while ago. Looked really good, built in Go.

Yup! Keep an eye out for it in the next week or so.

This is a Go service so it should be a lot simpler to get it running.
