the worst service I've signed up for has to be railway. What a terrible product.

This is so fucking good for TESTING stuff end to end. I have mongodb, I have a next JS app, I have a virtual machine that runs something and grafana for logs - it would have been impossible to automate this testing end to end (I’m building Tuco ai) but now it’s possible. I’m so shocked how good this thing is for testing. It was meh for everything else!!
I love the posters
It only works in Gmail, harder to implement by yourself without a tool like mailmodo

The telephone input takes text input?
Thank you! Basically we send the timezone and fetch prices from stripe. I need to add a cache, noted :)
Parker I have literally given the links to my website, my twitter, my linkedin and my github, and all of his.

My username has been @goforbg everywhere on the internet including the domain name.

I really don't know what else to show you. All I have to say is this, I created this tool. I wanted to launch it on HN. I posted the link of the hn thread on my facebook, twitter and whatsapp status.

I did NOT ask him to come comment here.

MC naveen actually did try out the product during the producthunt launch and had given me some valid feedback and bug fixes, so I think that's why he commented here.

If you think we're the same person or that I made him comment or it's a couple of fake profiles I have nothing else to show you except the products we've built online and our github contributions.

I'm going to stop replying beyond this because I feel it's insulting me and making me feel bad for something I did not do.

I don't understand what you're suggesting. I did not explicitly dm him to comment. Are you saying it's my fault I shared a link to the launch on my social media?

I publicly shared the link on my facebook wall and he had commented on his own.

When I first saw the comment I too thought it was someone else, before I saw his HN username.

Hi Parker. My name is Bharadwaj and MC naveen is a facebook friend of mine. I didn't ask him to comment, just shared a link of the launch on Facebook.

Just because two people are from India, doesn't mean it has to be a fake review. Please do proper research before you comment.

Thanks! Glad to hear

Hi HN, My name is Bharadwaj Giridhar. I'm the founder of inboxpirates.com . Inbox Pirates is an email preview tool for sales & marketing teams. It helps you preview how your email actually looks in your receiver's inbox.When I was building Crewcharge, an email marketing tool - I needed to build a feature to show a preview of how the email looks. I was searching for inspiration and realised...

Came here to tell the exact same thing actually.
This is actually great, we use aria labels at inboxpirates.com to extract most of the Gmail data. Saw this and Gmail Js (https://github.com/KartikTalwar/gmail.js/)

It seems more robust than Gmail JS

Not sure about the sites you're visiting, but I keep Hackernews at 175% so I can read better
Seems it's only possible with their pro version.
Wow! I thought this just wasn't possible without AE or Haiku. Thanks a lot for linking Glaxnimate.

Hey I really like the product, I would recommend you embed the video you've made[0] somewhere in the website's homepage or docs.

I'm sure a lot of devs mostly get started by reading docs, but I personally love videos which show me what's possible and I follow along.

I've rarely seen people being very positive about any product in a Hackernews thread.

I've seen your talk on starting a startup and how you built this! Great talk, inspired me a lot. All the best.

Exactly. I don't want this for the exact same reason.

Just yesterday I was thinking hmm, copying the .env seems like a shitty way to store env vars.
