Visual Newsletter Platform

A fully developed visual newsletter platform awaits its new leader. After four years of intensive development and considerable financial investment, this mature product offers an elegant solution to a persistent industry challenge: connecting visual creators directly with their audience without the complexity of typical newsletter tools or the reach limitations of social media platforms.

Built with a foundation of modern technology, the platform features a robust Ruby on Rails 7.1 API backend, paired with a React 18 frontend that delivers a responsive and intuitive user experience through TailwindCSS. The infrastructure runs smoothly on Render with full CI/CD configuration and AWS S3 integration, while Sidekiq 7.3 and Redis handle background processing with efficiency.

What truly sets this platform apart is its monetisation framework-a complete Stripe Connect implementation that enables creators to offer paid subscriptions with automated payment processing, platform fee management, and user-friendly billing portals.

The visual-first editor is the heart of the platform, offering drag-and-drop functionality specifically designed for image-centric creators. Users can effortlessly arrange images, galleries, and embedded links, with the unique ability to automatically generate visual content from any link pasted into the system.

Time-saving features include seamless Instagram integration, allowing users to connect their accounts and automatically import posts directly into newsletter drafts. Additional integrations with Postmark provide robust email delivery and analytics, while Plausible offers privacy-conscious usage tracking.

While originally conceived for commercial artists, the platform's "Visual Engine + Stripe Connect" architecture presents valuable pivot opportunities for numerous high-value markets. The technology stack would take even an experienced development team at least 12 months to replicate from scratch.

This isn't merely a technical product – it's a market-ready solution that eliminates the "build trap" many businesses fall into. Rather than spending months wrestling with Stripe API documentation and building subscription functionality, you could rebrand (or maintain the existing identity) and begin acquiring customers immediately.

The founder's primary business demands full attention, leaving this polished platform ready for the right operator. While there is a buy-it-now price based on the replacement cost of the technology, alternative arrangements are welcome. For proven operators or growth marketers with vision and implementation capability, arrangements involving a modest initial payment plus equity or revenue sharing are open for discussion.

Skip the development phase entirely and launch with a fully-functional, subscription-ready visual platform on day one.
