Resend, an open-source email project, has reached significant milestones since its public launch ten months ago. With over 100,000 verified users, 12,181 GitHub stars, and 209,339 weekly downloads on npm, the project is powering millions of emails sent every month with a small team of six people. The journey began in August 2022 when the founders, Bu and another developer, sought to create an "email solution" that was modern, fast, and suitable for developers, not marketers. After building a minimum viable product (MVP) and sharing it with others, they gained confidence and applied to Y Combinator, where they received funding and support. Since then, Resend has expanded its offerings, including marketing emails, raised additional funding, and hired new team members. The company aims to become one of the best ways for humans to communicate, focusing on improving its API, libraries, and components to meet user demands. With a strong emphasis on support and customer success, Resend is positioning itself as a communications company that will expand into other channels in the future.
