Haha no the confirmation mails are sent straight away ;) "tardamail.com is too new, temporarily blacklisted" is what I see in the mail-logs. Seems like something I can't do much about at the moment, and should correct itself

I double checked, and the confirmation links are sent to the sender as you would expect. Please check again and make sure you use the correct fields. If it happens more often, I'll consider swapping the fields, even though this order s

Cool, I did not know that. Are there any other thinkable use cases of keeping messages in a hold queue for a longer period of time, for this option to exist?

Done!

Good point, I will push an update with email verification and a favicon in the next hour.

Instant messaging has become the standard. The messages I send my good friends have become shorter, and are often based on my expectations of their reply. With TardaMail, I wanted to recreate the letter-writing experience, digitally. Taking

Looks cool, probably uses similar techniques indeed! The use case of my API is not quite as you describe, but I get the confusion. Instead, my case needs the platforms at which you register to implement the new method of confirmation. That

Manual account activation because the "please click this link to confirm your email address" email somehow does not end up in my user's inbox, is one of the most frequent support requests I get. I built an API (private for no

IPTV subscriptions are an alternative to regular cable tv subscriptions. It's linear tv streamed over the internet instead of it being delivered to you by your cable provider. It's used for many reasons, but I personally got a sub

Awesome, great pointers. Thanks for that!

Thanks. It all runs on a Laravel codebase, and the SaaS part is handled by Laravel Spark. UI of the landing page is a template I bought, the dashboard is own tinkering.

That's the cool thing, it got its first users without any promotion what so ever. I had used it myself for a couple of months, and only after 2 months I logged into the database and saw these 7 users who simply found it (maybe by URL).

Interesting, will definitely reconsider. Thanks!

I've definitely considered it, and I use some custom plans for users who exceed the limits of the Pro Plus plan, but I think current prices are alright. Also, keep in mind that these prices apply on yearly plans, and most paid users us

Cheap indeed it is, but I guess that matches the target audience. IPTV is relatively cheap, and the service my tool offers is really a bonus and not a must. More importantly, I don't think I would pay more than I am currently charging

It's an IPTV playlist management tool: m3u-editor.com Posted it on HN a while back as well, but interestingly it is one of my least successful HN posts.

Sure. Last year June, I built a small online tool for me and my girlfriend to manage our IPTV playlist. I bought a domain name and put it online because our IPTV player needed to access it through a URL. A couple of months later, and 7 user

The playlist we got from our IPTV provider half a year ago, contained way too many channels for our Raspberry Pi Kodi box to be happy, and way more than we needed. So in May, I built a v0.1 of what is m3u-editor.com today. Turns out there a

Wow, no offence taken. Thanks for having a look.

“if our servers are down, you will be too”: I can definitely see how you interpreted that. Luckily that's not the case, though. If our servers are down, all license validation passes. The "very bad scenario" with slow service

Interesting (and comforting) to see the different points of views, where some would target indie developers (just as I did) and others would target massive enterprises. Good to see this isn't a black and white kind of problem.

It was something I built for myself in the first place (and I do still actively use it). Showed it to one of my dev-friends, he said it looked cool so I thought: "why not work a little bit more on it and share it with the world?".

I definitely think that you're right about that, that the HN community is not the target audience but more of a board of critics taking a look. That's why after launch, I spent time (and money) into finding out what the target aud

You got me interested in the hack as well. Obviously, it will most likely not be a hack we can all copy, but I'm curious to what methods got you to finding out about it.

Posted on all of the better known and even the less known platforms. Some of them did indeed drive some traffic, but somehow none of them even lead to trial users.
