Show HN: I Built an AI Powered Email Client (Sivers Inspired)

https://www.one.email/

I've been seeking a better solution to unify a few different email addresses I have. On top of that, I really like the idea of Split Inboxes, but I would like to create my own and let AI classify them for me.Especially trying to follow Derek Sivers idea of owning your own email account, I wanted to group them together with my Gmail and professional email account (https://sive.rs/pe)Given I...

Ask HN: What is missing in the email experience?

I feel like email is used at great extent in professional environments, yet I honestly think there is something missing. The experience is mostly clumsy, hard to read, threads are not great, etc.Though I am not fully sure how to fix that. I am taking a stab at it (dobror.com but promote it is not the purpose of this post). I really would love to know:1. What do you miss in your email client? 2....

Ask HN: Building with Rails-API and Next.js

In order to deal with my productivity I decided to build my own email client with Rails-API and next.js front-end.All in all, the experience was very nice. The product is live and it is pretty useful.But to migrate from Rail-API to use hotwire, is this an option? Seems pretty hard. Not to mention away moving from Next.js.Did anyone went through that? Any good strategies for that?

I left my FAANG job recently.

Despite having a seed round when I left, which definitely weighted the decision, I pay a very little salary to myself, basically covering health insurance and a bit more, so I burn my savings.

I made sure to have around 2 years of savings (not counting my little salary), so if in 10 months the picture is too bad, I can simply get a new job.

Now, what really made the difference in my decision is: - You’re the average of the 5 people you hang out the most. My co-founders are great people with a great tracking record and this makes a huge difference - Learnings. You won’t learn nearly as much about building a business if you continue taking it as a side gig - we have already a product already generating some revenue. Not huge, but we believe in a great potential - as I mentioned, the seed round of course changes the perspective - “if I wouldn’t earn as much, would I stay at my job?”, every time I would think about this, the answer was a big NO! I really didn’t want to live this miserable day to day because of a pay check - lastly, which is very personal, every time I’d think of memories of my childhood and the “rich kids” friend of mine, none of them had parents that were employees. Even now, every “rich person” I know are entrepreneurs. Sure… the odds are low, but I rather take the risk and live the life I want

No research needed for that.

Re:The big alcohol study that didn't happen on Friday January 12, 2024 @02:12AM (#38965020)
The problem is that is not one to one. And isolating diet is very hard. Muslin countries don’t do alcohol, but they smoke a lot more than in comparison to some other countries. As well as different general diet behaviours.

So as much as your idea has some logic, it is still very hard to get the right picture.

And now if we all are being honest, most of those studies are done with intention of understanding how much one can drink with much harm. So comparing a group of people who doesn’t drink at all with one that drink is not the correct data points. We all know that alcohol is bad. If people want to be healthy they can simply not drink. We don’t do studies to understand “how many cigarettes a day is good for your health” we simple know the best amount is zero. But alcohol is deep into our society habits

Re:Why I'm skeptical of low-code on Sunday December 31, 2023 @12:43AM (#38822105)
I never thought of the selling point. It indeed makes a lot easy to sell it, but from my experience, companies always regret using it.

Did you have any positive experience on the after seeking low code?

This is so appreciated. Reminds me when they were popular bc they had popup blockers (before Chrome era)

Also… I feel old. I guess I am
