I built this because I needed it

Hey, I'm Chris Jayden. I run a couple of SaaS products (TextAtlas and Stacksee), and like most developers, I was sending every product event to Slack. New signups? Slack. Cancellations? Slack. Errors? You guessed it, Slack.

The problem was that Slack isn't built for this. Critical errors got buried under a flood of routine events. I'd miss important stuff because everything looked the same. And managing multiple projects in one workspace? Forget about it.

I tried other tools. Found one I liked, but it slowly stopped getting updates. Features I needed never came. Bugs stuck around. That's the risk with products built by teams who've moved on to other things.

So I built EmitKit. Not for funding rounds or investor decks. I built it in my spare time because I genuinely needed it for my own products. I wanted different projects to have their own spaces. I wanted critical events to actually feel critical. I wanted push notifications on my phone for the stuff that matters, not everything.

I open sourced the whole thing too. Partly because I believe in giving back, but mostly because there aren't enough real-world SvelteKit examples out there. Yeah, the name is a nod to SvelteKit. I love that framework so much I basically named this project after it.

Here's what being indie means for you: I use EmitKit every day in my own products. Every bug I fix is one I've probably hit myself. Every feature I add is something I actually need. This isn't a side project I'll abandon when something shinier comes along. It's infrastructure for my business, which means it's getting attention whether anyone else uses it or not.

My commitment is simple: build something that solves your problems by solving mine. Keep it fast, keep it focused, and make it feel good to use. No bullshit, no bloat, just a tool that does what it says.

Thanks for choosing EmitKit. If you ever want to chat about features, bugs, or just talk shop about building products, hit me up on X or shoot me an email. I actually read both.
