Builder Lesson
Focus on a single, high-friction developer workflow and integrate deeply into their primary tool (VS Code).
Full Reasoning
Wins by solving a specific, painful developer workflow — email testing — directly within their primary tool, VS Code. The deep integration and MJML-first support create a formidable moat, making it difficult for general email tools to compete. The $7/month price point is a strategic move to onboard individual developers, while custom enterprise pricing charts a clear path to scale. Other builders should identify a core workflow within a developer's environment and own it completely.
