Re:Show HN: Webhook API – inbound email –> webhook on Tuesday April 28, 2026 @06:07AM (#47932438)
I’m using Cloudflare Email Routing with a catch-all address that triggers a Worker. The Worker parses the email and stores the attachments in R2.

Pretty simple setup, but it works well for this use case

Show HN: Webhook API – inbound email –> webhook

https://www.echovalue.dev/webhook-api/

Hi HN,I often run into systems that can send email but cannot call a webhook directlyI built a tool that creates an opaque email address <mailboxId>@hook.echovalue.dev and forwards inbound messages as structured JSON to a configured endpoint. It can also call a webhook from a cron schedule, so small scheduled jobs do not need their own workerThere are built-in formats for Slack, Discord,...

Show HN: Export contacts from Outlook for Mac (.olm) (local, open source)

https://github.com/njoylab/outlook-contacts-exporter

Hi HN,I built this while helping a colleague migrate away from Outlook for Mac after a company acquisition. Outlook only exports contacts as .olm, and most tools we found were either paid or required uploading the data somewhereSince emails and contacts are a pretty sensitive topic, I didn’t like that, so I put together a small local tool insteadIt extracts contacts from an Outlook for Mac .olm...

Show HN: A Simple, Ad-Free, Privacy-Respecting JSON Linter

https://jsonlint.echovalue.dev/

I built this JSON linter because, while there are plenty of great ones out there, I wanted something that fits my needs—ad-free, no tracking, privacy-focused, and lightweight. What started as a quick “1-hour project” quickly spiraled into a more "complex" challenge.Initially, I used a simple <textarea>. It was easy, fast, and functional, but I wanted code highlighting for better...

Re:Show HN: Key-Value Store API, No Subscription Needed on Wednesday December 13, 2023 @06:49AM (#38625953)
Hi, as a solo developer, I often need to save data through serverless functions. I'm not looking to set up and pay for a database, nor do I want to install an SDK and use NoSQL cloud services, especially for straightforward use cases like for ex "cron" scripts. I was searching for a simple and direct API call.

The concept of 'storing a map as JSON' in a serverless context usually translates to saving or reading a file in a bucket, like S3 or GCS, but then again, this brings us back to waste time installing and managing an SDK.

Got your point, and for larger projects, a more structured approach definitely makes sense. However, I often find myself needing something like this, so I went ahead and built it.
