Show HN: Dittofeed v0.5.0 – Self-host SMS and email customer messaging

Hey HN, we’ve just released Dittofeed v0.5.0, with the primary change being the addition of SMS as a messaging channel. Dittofeed is an open source (MIT licensed) omnichannel customer engagement platform, similar to Customer.io and Iterable. We added:

- Twilio-based SMS messaging. You can create SMS templates and customer journeys within Dittofeed.

SMS is a great channel for B2C software companies, looking to engage with their users. For example, e-commerce businesses commonly use SMS to support checkout flows.

We'll be making further enhancements to Dittofeed's SMS support in the coming weeks!

- We added a new "Trait Exists" segmentation option, which can be used to create a segment of all users with phone numbers, for example.

- We made some fairly large improvements to our settings UI. Big shout out to our contributor! https://github.com/promisetochi

Looking forward to your thoughts and feedback!
