Tired of wasting hours formatting code in your emails?

The hardest part of emailing your audience should be figuring out what to write about.
And yet, writing emails for your developer audience is painful…
Because of all the time and energy you have to waste on everything else…
- Formatting code snippets, exporting them as images
- Pasting those images into your editor
- Starting over because you noticed an error in the code
- Wrestling with clunky WYSIWYG editors that seem designed to slow you down
- Converting Markdown to HTML/Rich Text
You want to write regularly. After all, consistency is key when it comes to helping your audience.
But the universe is conspiring to stop you in your tracks.

Hi, I'm Jon Hilton! 👋
I've spent the last 20 years helping developers.
As a technical blogger, writer, mentor and trainer I've spent endless hours figuring out how to communicate important concepts and ideas to a developer audience.
After years of sending emails it dawned on me just how much time we waste doing anything but writing.
So I built DevScribe to eliminate that friction and help you write better emails more consistently.

Focus on the writing, ignore everything else, and suddenly that mammoth task of sending your next email looks a whole lot easier.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does DevScribe send emails?
In a word, no.
Battle tested Email Service Providers like Kit, MailChimp and Bento do a great job of making sure your emails reach their intended recipients.
They take on all the hidden complexities of sending emails to thousands of people, so you don't have to worry about spam traps, blacklists, and bots.
Innovations like Kit's Creator Network help you build your list, so you can reach more people.
But ESP's typically fall short in one crucial area - their WYSIWYG editors fall apart when you start tring to embed code snippets.
DevScribe fixes this.
DevScribe solves a very specific problem. It gives you a single place to write your emails, with a markdown editor you'll actually want to use, and an easy way to get the resulting email over to your ESP.
