One of the new privacy features in iOS 14 is the ability to limit an app’s access to specific photos instead of the ‘all’ or ‘none’ options that were previously available.

I believe this type of functionality is now available in Android 11 too.

I’ve had no experience with the other tools mentioned in this post so I cant provide benchmark feedback, but just wanted to say that I’ve been a happy tarsnap customer for a couple of years now. It’s well documented and does exactly what it’s supposed to. Well done.

Can you provide an example of something that should be included but isn’t? My payment processing requirements are fairly standard so I’m genuinely curious.

Ask HN: Best way to add “View in Browser Link” to emails with PostMark

Hi All,I'm currently using PostMark for transactional email (very pleased with the service, fwiw!). At the moment, I'm stuck trying to think of the best way to go about adding a "View in Browser" link to some of the transactional emails that we send out.

The simplicity of this service and the free listing model could make it a real contender as a Flippa.com alternative. As others have already commented, there is still a lot of room for improvement (payment methods, improved bidding system, etc), but I could definitely see this in future iterations of the service if it were to gain enough traction.

As an immediate suggestion to the developer, it'd be nice if the registration, login, and dashboard areas were secured (HTTPS). Everything appears to be transmitted over HTTP at the moment.

In any case, kudos on the launch - this could definitely shape up to be a pretty solid service.
