Show HN: APIblaze: Kong and Auth0 and FGA but $0/month
You know how ArtCraft remade a version of the entire Adobe suite? Well, we made a version of a great Hosted API Gateway + MCP + Authentication + Authorization for it with no subscription fee (just pay per request)

Are you working on any integrations? It feels like before I fully chat to agents instead of type, i needs them to understand when i'm being decisive vs when I'm just noodling (former Google Assistant guy here)
Show HN: APIblaze – Serverless MCP and API gateway with everything built in
Hi HN. There are lots of API gateways out there. What we couldn't find was one with everything built-in to go from “my business logic works” to “I can safely consider publishing it on the internet”. So we spent a year building the features in APIblaze: A serverless MCP and API gateway. Here’s what makes it different:- Authorization. Most gateways stop at authentication: they check who is...

That seems like a fair/necessary option. Haven't coded it but will add to my TODO list.

That's a cool use case. Thanks!

Yes! The pickle is that the system doesn't know when the link is sent and if it was sent via email/sms/..., only when it's created. Something that helps is a deny list of user agents on the server for obvious things (like when iOS messages previews the URL) that have kept known user agents over many years. The problem with spam filters is that they don't want you to know they are spam filters so the user agents are hard to pin down definitively.
Overall, that's why it gives the user 3 notifications. Hopefully, most folks will know something's off if they get a read seconds after emailing someone.

That's really nice to know JoeCool, thanks! There's a fair amount of struggle with the carriers trust scores. Overall, there's an inclination to keep the SMS OTP (so that people don't create hundreds of accounts with the 2 free links) but offer the option to switch to email or WhatsApp once the link is created.

Just a quick and easy way to see if someone important opened the shortened URLs you sent them
