    We as developers, build and maintain many services in code, one of them being notification service. In the last 5-7 years, API-to-user communications have exploded across SMS, email, chat apps, mobile, and web push. As a consequence, notification service handling them has become quite complex. Developers spend time building integrations with multiple providers, create templates for each channel, managing scheduling and routing based on preferences, maintaining queues to deliver notifications on time while managing scale. Besides, product teams have poor visibility on notifications as…

    I wanted to get two things from building an App 1) I wanted to learn how to build and deploy an app with react-native and google cloud. 2) Also, I recently purchased an item in a department store and gave my personal email address and I received my receipt as expected. But I also received a load of emails about promotions over the coming weeks which cluttered my inbox.

    Hey HN! I've been working on Inbound (inbound.new) - an email system that lets you programmatically manage email addresses and route them to AI agents, webhooks, or forward them anywhere. The core idea: instead of manually managing email addresses, you create them on-demand via API and route incoming emails to your AI agents or other automated systems. For AI Agents: Create [email protected] and emails get sent to your AI agent as webhooks. Your agent can reply using our SDK. Perfect for AI customer support or automated responses.
