Constant Contact?

KINDAYou can build the valuable core, but the established product has meaningful operational complexity. Pick one narrow promise for v1.

BUILD FIRST

One specific customer type and one primary use case
A vertical slice that completes the main job without manual workarounds
Visible limits, review steps, and a fallback when an external dependency fails

LEAVE FOR LATER

Broad third-party integrations
High-scale collaboration, syncing, and permissions
Automation that can cause harm without human review

RESEARCHED BUILD PROMPT

Give this to your coding agent.

Build a focused replacement for Constant Contact. Do not copy the original brand, proprietary assets, name, logo, UI, or copy; create an original visual system.

Build the narrow workflow: create one permission-based email campaign for a small list, review it, send a test, and inspect aggregate results.

Requirements
- manage contacts with consent, unsubscribe, suppression, and CSV import/export
- compose responsive email with subject, preview text, text/image blocks, and a test-send adapter
- provide draft, scheduled, sent, and failed states
- show aggregate delivery, open, and click events while minimizing personal data

Out of scope for v1
- bulk deliverability infrastructure
- purchased-list support
- autonomous sending without review

Use a small React/TypeScript app with a portable JSON or SQLite data model, explicit loading/empty/error states, and adapters around external services. Seed realistic demo data so the core flow works without paid credentials. Include a README with setup, environment variables, data model, implementation decisions, privacy behavior, testing instructions, and important limitations.
