DraftLetter – AI newsletter-draft starter (Next.js 16 + Tailwind 4)
Newsletter Draft Starter for Next.js
DraftLetter is an AI newsletter generator and SaaS starter built with Next.js 16, React 19, Tailwind CSS 4 and Node 20.x. Designed for developers who want a production-ready newsletter-draft workflow without hand-rolling the core logic and UI from scratch.
DraftLetter ships as a deployable starter: you get a working baseline app, clear setup and deployment docs, and a structure you can extend for your own use or client work.
Introductory pricing
DraftLetter is currently offered at launch pricing for early buyers. As the product matures the price will be in line with the value of building and documenting a similar tool from scratch.

You stay in control of

The generator is intentionally stateless in this starter. This allows you to wire in your own database, authentication, and billing where it makes sense for your business.
