Why this list is different The "best" email API depends entirely on what you're building. A side project optimizing for the free tier needs different things than a Series B SaaS sending two million transactional emails a month. This post grades eight providers against the criteria that actually move the needle in production, and tells you which one to pick for which use case. Most roundups in th
If you want to Automate GitHub PRs, the real goal is not just adding another bot comment to a pull request. The goal is to give reviewers the context they usually have to gather manually: who owns the service, whether it is deployed, whether basic repository standards are in place, and whether the change looks safe to merge. A useful AI pull request workflow can do exactly that. When a PR opens, i
It started at midnight I had 24 hours, a free Replit subscription, and an idea: what if I could build something like Miro — but actually understand every line of code in it? The core problem I had to solve first Multiplayer sync sounds simple until you actually build it. The hard part isn't sending a canvas update — it's figuring out what to send. canvas.on('object:modified', (e) => { socket.emi
FutureMe has 15 million letters in its database. They've been there since 2002. Some of them will be there in 2050. Evengood will have zero. This week I shipped The Quiet Letter — a feature where you write to your future self today, we email it on a date you pick, and we hard-delete the row from our database within 24 hours of sending it. The email is the only artifact. We don't keep a copy. Every
It was around 1am and I had three feeds open. X on my phone, Reddit on one monitor, Hacker News on the other. I was reading about a plane crash, a new AI model, and a meme war about whether oat milk counts as milk. And I realised I had no idea what the internet was actually feeling about any of it. The feeds told me what was happening. They didn't tell me how it felt. That's when the idea hit me.
I write a lot of READMEs. I ship faster than I document. I work with AI agents that write code in seconds and READMEs in minutes, and somewhere between the first commit and the third refactor, the README I wrote on Tuesday stops matching the code I wrote on Friday. The install command says npm start. The package.json defines start:prod. Anyone copying that command would have failed instantly. I'd
Well, I have been on GitHub since 2019, even before the lockdown. Back then, I did not properly use GitHub. I used to just make projects, upload the code, and share it with friends. But I never really understood the point of GitHub. I think I missed my tutorials on GitHub. But now, I’ll share some key ways to actually make the best out of it. Your GitHub profile is not just a bio page. It is your
