The two most useful email filters that I have on my personal account automatically move the following messages to a "from-robots" folder: * Any message that contains the word "unsubscribe" * Any message from no-reply@ As a side note: please do not send emails from [email protected] If you want users to engage with your communications you need to give them an option to respond.

After my father was diagnosed with Stage 3 kidney cancer, my family was thrown into a tailspin. Getting second opinions, planning surgery, ensuring insurance coverage, coping with the fear. It was a lot to process. In the middle of dealing with all the medical logistics, I realized none of our family could answer if he: - Had a medical directive? - How to trigger his life insurance policy? - Where is his will and who is the executor? - What bank accounts and credit cards existed? - What bills are not on auto-pay? - When these bills due and how are they paid? That wasn’t solved by password…

I always assumed Gmail bloat came from large attachments. Turns out 3 senders were responsible for 30% of my inbox — thousands of tiny emails I'd never thought to clean up. I built mailtrim to surface this pattern: - ranks senders by actual storage impact (not just count) - confidence scoring on what's safe to bulk-delete - 30-day undo on everything — nothing is permanent by default - runs entirely locally, no email data leaves your machine Free, open source (MIT). No subscription, no backend. One friction point upfront: Gmail API setup is one-time, ~15 min. After that it's just `mailtrim…

I've been exploring uses of file metadata. Here's an interesting one with a legitimate (and potentially unreliable) use case. Focuses on ease of use. Would love to hear feedback.

Hey Hacker News, We've been working on ways to save people time at work and we've got something for you to try that we think can do just that. Pensieve lets you search across silos from one safe, convenient place, and save and retrieve notes without disturbing your workflow. Check it out at https://www.pensieve.ai, or on Youtube at https://youtu.be/-lQLmVSRI6Q.

https://github.com/inoda/private_journal Built this to use myself, and I'm curious if anybody would be interested in using it. I'm also wondering if anybody has tips to make it more secure (I'm super super new to encryption and whatnot). The security is probably a bit overkill since chances are that nobody cares about what I'm journaling, but it is fun to implement from a code standpoint.

I wrote this to easily create daily notes. It does very little - creates a file with a template and puts them in a directory of the current month and year. I was using Obsidian to manage my daily notes before this but in the back of my mind I was worried about privacy. I hope you try it once!

I have never been able to keep a diary. Tried paper notebooks, journaling apps, daily templates. Always the same arc: a week of momentum, then nothing. The busiest days vanished first, because I was too busy living them to write anything down. At some point I noticed that I was already recording my life without trying. My calendar had every meeting. Slack had every conversation. GitHub had every commit. The raw material was there, just scattered across a dozen APIs. So I wrote a set of collectors and a cron job that pulls it all together every morning and has an LLM write a diary entry from…
