24 alternatives to Completely offline todo list from your email

Hi Hackers, I recently published "Mail Do" url: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/id898121234 I made it out of personal need to "fix" by todo system. But the way it came out, I think it could be useful to many. Here is why I decided to spin my own https://medium.com/@maildoapp/inspiration-behind-maildo-5c210a16fc51 I would love some feedback. I already noticed some bugs and working on a quick patch. I would appreciate some HN love and feedback. Thanks, P.S. Thanks to AppSites that I found on Show HN couple days back, I was able to get the website up…

    Bookmarks which you wanted to read, but simply forgot... It happened to me all the time. I bookmarked the articles to read later and simply forgot about them. Forever. I built Mailist to help with that. Already 2350 users enjoy their "weekly digests" composed from their bookmarks. It makes me super happy! So now, https://mailist.app Pro account allows you to send an email newsletter every day, built from your bookmarks. Does it sound interesting? The free version (weekly email) is available for everyone! Let me know what you think. PS. Unlike other tools, we care about your privacy…

    Capturing emails always sucked. I don't want to add a full-blown newsletter API. That's why I've created my own tool. Would love your feedback on this

    Hi! Long time reader, first time submitter. I've finallllyy got my first webapp online. It's been a long time coming, I started it over a year ago and just been an hour here, a couple of hours here, and a period of a couple of months of nothing. I first wrote it as a way to learn some python it sort of grew to fill a need I had. It's at a point now where I'd LOVE some feedback as I am going round in circules. Please, it's free, just hit the home page, plugin in a name/email and url you want to links checked on. If you use the name 'DeleteMe' I will remove the account after a week, so feel…

    We recently launched a new project called https://www.markdownmail.io The motivations behind https://www.markdownmail.io was that we wanted to be able to occasionally send out an email to our user base. Currently we have over 100k subscribers and on average send an email once every other month. With the mailchimp it was costing us $475 per month. That's a lot of money to send an occasional newsletter. So we started to look for alternatives. We decided to move to sendy.co which is self hosted and uses SES. Whilst the costs where lower we found the product unstable and…

    Hi HN, I'm excited to share a project I've been working on: UnwrapEmail(https://unwrap.email), an API designed to detect and verify disposable or temporary email addresses. Features: - Detect disposable email addresses - Extract labels from email addresses (e.g., Gmail) - Normalize addresses by removing labels or special characters (e.g., Gmail) - Validate MX records of domains - Check whether it’s safe to send to a given email to reduce bounces and maintain sender reputation Why I Built This: As the owner of an AI wrapper app, I've seen decent traffic thanks to SEO efforts + ads,…

    Hello HN, around October last year, I started to work on campaignkit.cc as a side project. It is a service to detect invalid and malicious email addresses. You can upload text files, and use the REST API or direct integration to retrieve a detailed report for each email address. End of March I added Stripe Payments and got my first paying customers via SEM. A coworker suggested starting a Show HN thread, so here we are :) I used golang for the backend since I wanted something lightweight with fast compilation times (coming from scala). For the frontend, I'm using Next.js and TailwindUI. On…

    Hey HN, I was tired of writing HTML emails and one day was going through reddit specifically searching for people who hated writing HTML emails and heard a lot of complaints from solopreneurs and marketers as this is a very boring task and many marketers and solo founders have much more important tasks to take care off. So I decided to build HTML email to solve this. My friends have already saved hours using this product. This is my 11th product and I think this solves a problem many folks are struggling with. Feel free to share your views.

    Built this tool as a personal passion/side project last year along with a couple Seattle friends. It's now got 3K+ folks tracking their name/brand/interests for free and ~150 paying subs, too. Not quite breakeven yet, but close (though none of us are getting paid ¯\_(ツ)_/¯). Suspect it might be useful/interesting to some of y'all.

    There are many like it but this one is mine: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/pivit/id705715915?mt=8 Seriously, though, this Hacker News reader is better than what's out there, or I wouldn't have spent time on it. How? Most importantly, it utilizes the background refresh APIs, so content is always up to date. Pull to refresh is there, but you probably won't need it. The more addicted you are, the more often it updates. So if you check every few hours, you'll always get the current front page. Complementing this, it helps you see not only what you've read but what…

    Example: Blah blah blah Please also DM me here: https://bar.cwhlabs.com/s/Y6QJLKFDJNAOQ1D2VEITYKJRRVANI9NP --- How it works: Create a inbox -> generate link -> leave it -> check mail in 7 days -> (auto destroy) leave it on the anonymous place whatever you want people to contact you one time only, ask them to leave a contact method also. Contact them back. Basically it is a safer way to contact online since scammers are crazy collecting our infos/social handles in 2023. The mailbox will auto burnt after 7 days. I hope it helps you. Thanks for visit.

    Hey Everyone! This is my first post on Hacker News, and I wanted to share my project with you! From a young age, I dreamed of becoming a chef, but life took me down the path of software engineering instead. Nevertheless, my passion for creating delicious meals has always remained close to my heart. This journey led me to seek out recipes to enhance my cooking skills, but I often found myself frustrated by the websites I encountered—ads everywhere, walls of text, and recipes that were difficult to follow. That’s where PurePlates comes in. PurePlates allows users to share a recipe through…

    Here is the link: http://www.wikihowtodo.com I know a lot of geeks share the same dream -- build the next kick-ass todo-list/project management system. So do I. However, as I was quite positive that my web development skill is worse than 99% of developers' in this community, I decided to build something simple, useless but unique. So I built this. Basically it's a Wikihow scraper, nothing more. It gives you a place to store interesting Wikihow articles and yes, they are converted into todo lists. I know this site is not that good, but I still need your guys' feedback. For example, as I am a…
