You can write a lot on one page. And I wrote some bash functions to store the links when you close your browser, and then give you the option of opening one based on the title.

I love that someone followed through and got it done. I bet a lot of people thought about it. I bet that there's even someone seeing this right now pissed off that they didn't finish first. Great design. Where'd you get your little illustrations?
Thank you a lot, I got the illustrations on https://craftwork.design

No, not every email server supports it. For example, I know that Office 365 Exchange doesn't support it as I tried it yesterday.
that just means Office 365 has a bug in it, not that using that feature is an "email hack" the plus syntax is part of the email address specification. any server that doesn't support it is by definition buggy because some mail won't work as expected or designed.

Contingent Purchase Order : You put in a purchase order and we'll build feature x. Separate the wheat from the chaff.
Are you going to build it instantly? If not, what happens if someone else releases a superior product in the interim? Or my business needs change?
Yesterday Paul Graham asked for an email diary service ( https://twitter.com/paulg/status/1216714155731890176 ): > Is there an easy way to build, or a startup that offers, something that will email you once a day asking "What's happening?" and then accumulate the replies? I did just that! Let me know what you think.

> How do you solve the "won't read my emails" problem? Have the user generate a device-local SMIME certificate for , register their certificate's public key with the server, have the server generate a mobileconfig that enforces SMIME when emailing anyone, and then in Mail.app change the From: address to when emailing the diary address. iOS will remember that From change and use SMIME to encrypt all diary messages to…
tl;dr: there exist ways to read your emails without knowing the private keys.

> How do you solve the "won't read my emails" problem ? 99% of the people who tell you they wouldn’t use the product unless it can’t read your email wouldn’t actually use it regardless, and are just asking for things they don’t really have any intention of using. edit: I just wanted to add I think it's kind of a dick move on pg's part to ask someone to build this when there are like four different versions that alrea…
Why does this need to be a "service?" Why not just write the e-mail in your current e-mail client and then store the draft in its own folder? People have been doing that for centuries. They'd write a letter to themselves and then store it in a box somewhere instead of sending it. Some people took it a step farther and would write the letter, and then burn it if they were angry. Very cathartic.
I just email myself ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ e: Also, I used to use https://750words.com which is quite similar.
I use the Gmail "+" hack to mail myself on different topics. name+ideas@ for app ideas name+notes@ for random notes name+writing@ for article ideas (edit: formatting)
