One API for all your SMTPs
Hi HN, I host my own mail infrastructure and don't rely on third-party tools to send my mails. But in a microservice architecture, managing all the SMTP configs quickly becomes tiresome. After a while I'd always have my credentials and settings scattered in application-properties, bash scripts and environment files. So I've build Brieferl, an app where you can add your SMTP servers and send emails through a single API with a simple JSON payload. You also get logs of when/where emails were sent and HTML previews of messages. I am interested in what you guys think about this. You can…
What it does
In the maker’s words, at launch
Hi HN, I host my own mail infrastructure and don't rely on third-party tools to send my mails. But in a microservice architecture, managing all the SMTP configs quickly becomes tiresome. After a while I'd always have my credentials and settings scattered in application-properties, bash scripts and environment files. So I've build Brieferl, an app where you can add your SMTP servers and send emails through a single API with a simple JSON payload. You also get logs of when/where emails were sent and HTML previews of messages. I am interested in what you guys think about this. You can create a free account with just your email, add a SMTP server + API key and start sending. (There is no upsell, or paid plan yet) This is super early, it works and I made it actually just for myself but a friend told me he‘d also love to use this, so I thought why not ask other developers what they think. Is this something you’d use? Are there some features that would it more valuable for you? Or is this something only I’ve felt?

I made a built-from scratch Wayland Compositor to display any GUI app* in the terminal! I think there is a lot of unexplored potential in custom Wayland compositors, a lot of really cool things you can embed existing applications into! So, I started with embedding apps into the terminal because that is the easiest input/output (output is just utf-8 and I use the great `chafa` library for that, and I just read from stdin for the input). If you have any other ideas for cool Wayland compositors, let me know. I purposedly wrote 80% the app in Typescript to appeal to the most developers and…

Years ago I stumbled across a basic version of this concept and it stuck with me. I knew if I was ever going to take on such a project, it would need to be flawless, but without coding experience it was just another idea that would never happen. By the end of 2024, as AI coding tools exploded everywhere, I finally had a way to make it real. I started from zero knowledge and spent months collaborating with AI agents as a learning experience. Every pixel and every function went through me. The AI translated what I asked for into code, but every decision was human. I didn't use existing OS…
