    Not to rain on your parade or anything, but isn't using node a bit of overkill for this job?

    Why not just having a form pointing to Mailchimp/Formkeep?

      Great point! Full disclosure, I work for Mailgun and wanted to really use our services, like our API for email validation. That and I'd rather populate my own database with confirmed users. Example flow: I'm building out a product, use this code to customize a landing page, deploy it, test interest, create new branch, build product, redeploy it, send out invites to complete sign up, Profit?

        Yeah, I can see it makes sense as an exercise :)

        Also, I could see a lot of value in deeply integrating different lists of users into your product so you can segment them and A/B test features more easily — there's probably a few solutions for this already, but building internally has advantages as well.

        Way to go!
