Read our [developer setup guide](https://github.com/freeCodeCamp/Mail-for-Good/wiki/Setup-for-development).\r\n\r\n---\r\n\r\n![Image showing Mail 4 Good](docs/resources/hero.png)\r\n\r\nAn app for sending millions of emails as cheaply as possible. Mail for Good uses AWS Simple Email Service to send bulk emails at $0.10 per 1000 emails.\r\n\r\nMail for Good is fast and memory efficient, currently sending over 100 emails per second on a 1gb Digital Ocean VPS.\r\n\r\nWe've used Mail for Good to deliver newsletters to hundreds of thousands of campers per week.\r\n\r\n## Sounds good? Give it a try!\r\n[![Deploy](https://www.herokucdn.com/deploy/button.svg)](https://heroku.com/deploy?template=https://github.com/freeCodeCamp/mail-for-good/tree/heroku/stable)\r\n\r\n\"My instance is deployed, what now?\"\r\n\r\nIn [setting_up.md](./docs/setting_up.md) you'll find how to connect, create your admin account and set up your AWS credentials allowing you to send your first blast.\r\n\r\n## What does Mail for Good do?\r\n\r\nWith Mail for Good you can:\r\n\r\n- Send email campaigns of unlimited size.\r\n- Import emails saved in CSV format.\r\n- Create templates to reuse for convenience when sending email campaigns.\r\n- Track bounce rate and other standard metrics. You can also insert tracking pixels and unsubscribe links at the click of a button.\r\n- Add custom fields to imported email lists such as names or cities.\r\n- Grant other users (limited or otherwise) permissions to use your account on your behalf.\r\n- Add embedded HTML newsletter sign up forms to your site. These are snippets of code that will let your users sign up with you at the click of a button.\r\n\r\n### Performance\r\n\r\nWe're currently sending weekly email blasts of over 800,000 emails in 4 hours on a $10 per month Digital Ocean VPS with 1 GB memory and 1 core processor.\r\n\r\nMail for Good is fast and scales to the rate limit enforced by AWS.\r\n\r\n### Why are we doing this?\r\n\r\nWe want to help nonprofits manage their email campaigns as inexpensively as possible, and have full control over their data.\r\n\r\n### How to install locally\r\n[**local deployment guide.md**](./docs/local_deploy.md).\r\n\r\n### Troubleshooting\r\n\r\nWe're keen to tackle any issues people encounter. If you experience any problems, please create an issue and we'll get back to you.\r\n\r\n### How to contribute\r\n\r\nFound a bug?
