Products that do what I made read receipts for file sharing does

Hey HN, I built SendFast (https://sendfast.app) because I was tired of clunky urls, and not knowing when my files are viewed. Google Drive links are long and annoying, WeTransfer has ads and expirations, and most alternatives don’t tell you if someone actually opened your file. With SendFast: - You upload and share files up to 32GB - Get notifications when someone views or downloads your file (no more “Did you get my email?”) - Recipients don’t need an account & can preview files (images/videos/pdf) instantly without ads - Links won’t expire as long as you need them [also…

I built a tool to send you daily digest of your saved bookmarks▲65
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…

Attach.io, a new way to simply share files▲15
After a lot of work, I'm proud to show HN my first real "startup idea". HN has been a real inspiration to me. Attach.io allows users to upload files up to 2GB (soon to be 8GB) and share them with others. Attach.io offers the regular file for download, and also if possible, an alternative preview version, so users can view files on their iPad for example. PSD files get converted to PNG AVI, WMV etc... to MP4 EPS/AI to PDF DOC(X), PPT(X) etc... to PDF This is a sneak preview, and is not 100% complete. Things I still have on my ToDo list: Allow users to email link to others, currently they have…
