I only took a brief look, but I like the premise. The service seems far from something I would trust with handling my email. I still trust Fastmail (for reference). But I strongly welcome more alternatives to Gmail and services which priori

Thanks for sharing, this looks neat and useful! The pagemarks are an interesting concept. It would be cool if the top progress bar above the document showed, not cumulative progress, but the progress as it maps to the areas marked on the do

Based on the phrasing of the title, I half expected the "wheel" to be that belonging to a Tesla that somehow managed to remain engaged on autopilot for a week... would have been impressive. That said, what's to stop a situati

Fastmail has worked well for me with custom domains. It's nice being able to create custom aliases for when an address is publicly visible e.g. GitHub so I know through what funnel emails are coming from. Like others have said, the And

Yeah, the primary benefit I see is if one fully audits the code and any future updates. Otherwise, self-hosting doesn't confer much in the way of guarantees for security or privacy.

On what are you basing these expectations? Uploading means transmitting data to a third party. One could write a CLI that does just that. One could also write a web app where the processing takes place in the browser and the data never leav

Why would you broadly assume an incorrect rule? Email address parsers correctly implement canonicalization rules that consider the domain e.g. gmail. It doesn't require any extra work as a developer and the logic is hidden behind the a

The creator mentions in another post that the service does indeed upload the data to a server for processing. But, in general, it being a web app doesn't mean it uploads your data any more than a locally run application might. A web ap

By canonicalization I'm not saying any arbitrary practice by Gmail or any other email provider should be considered as standard. I haven't looked at the RFC in some time, but I don't believe the use of plus suffixes is standa

The article shines light on three separate failures on Netflix's part: 1. Canonicalize email addresses Whether or not dots or +asdf is considered okay, an email address used for identification needs to be canonicalized in order to avoi

Just curious, why would you want to self-host it?

Perfectly reasonable. I would then suggest changing it from "Contact Us" to "hello@hreftools.com" to prevent any confusion (Principle of Least Astonishment) :)

Looks neat! My one critique is the Contact Us link. I find unexpected mailto: links annoying because they cause my desktop mail client (which I don't use) to open unexpectedly when I'm expecting to be taken to a page, in this case

Everything I've read about hosting one's own mail servers indicates, other than the educational rewards, it's not a practical idea. But along those lines, I was considering sending emails using Gmail or Fastmail's server

Do you know how SES stacks up against services that focus solely on email? It looks like a great deal if you already use EC2 because of the free 62k outgoing emails/month. But there doesn't seem to be a free tier otherwise.
