ALARAPE XCHANGE (@iyanda001) reported@AirtelNigeria please fix your network 🙏 Since last month it’s been frustrating. 100GB bought, can’t use 15GB properly. Only TikTok is working, Gmail won’t open. We’re all facing this. Please restore proper service for everyone. Thank you.

Samuel Tuoyo (@TuoyoS26091) reportedWhether you need to send welcome messages, password resets, or receipts, SendLib lets you bypass the usual setup headaches. There are no domains to verify, no DNS records to manage, and no SMTP server stress. You simply connect your product's Gmail and start sending.

However, even after entering the latest code immediately, I am still unable to log in to my Base account. I have requested and tried

scriptbase_tech (@Scriptbase_Tech) reportedAnother hackathon shortcut nobody talks about: browser extensions skip the auth problem too. No OAuth flow, no login screen, no session management to build. The extension runs in a tab where the user’s already logged into Gmail/Notion/whatever — you inherit their session for free. Judges see it working with THEIR data in 10 seconds. That’s the whole demo

Ben Surman (@bensrmn) reported@JerimiahLee @dennishegstad It’s also a power tool with Comet. A solopreneur who has any technical experience can get all that Claude, Chat, Grok, and more with one login. Sync anything and rapidly build dashboards. Claude/Chat is like using thunderbird w/cPanel email. Perplexity is like using Gmail.

Alex Navarro-McKay (@NavarroMcKay) reported@alexhillman A Gmail app update has fixed the search issue.

sean lee (@infinitefun_) reportedyeah, no. the average consumer has a near zero need for offloading cognitive work. what they need is their netflix and their doordash — your job as a consumer is literally to chill tf out and stay happy and motivated if you dont intuit this as obvious you're most likely neck-deep in a muck of motivated reasoning as a consumer founder / VC okay you can use agents to search the web and synthesize findings on what to buy. okay you have cognitive chores like filing tax returns and sifting thru email. sounds like great features to bake into google and gmail! on the other hand, your job as a knowledge worker is to convert your cognition into something of economic value — and then because of competitive market dynamics, you'll also need all the cognitive amplification that's available on the market. the biggest problems need the most cognition. the consumer takes care of problems scoped to themselves. the knowledge workers together take care problems concerning society. when we look back, we'll remember how AI agents helped us cure cancer, not how your agent helped you order pizza over imessage.

Nomad (@nomadschurch) reportedSol was setting up some AWS spend caps for me today and kept hitting an issue so emailed AWS Support from my Gmail w/o asking me. I was kinda impressed tbh
-
Tushka (@shallowedout) reported@JosephDworak If you are talking about search ability in outlook I’d agree, but also say Google is no better. Copilot does suck, but is anyone really using anything other than Claude and ChatGPT plug ins? I just can’t stand Gmail threads and think the Google meet is terrible, but so is teams

Katie (@katiek833) reported@katrosenfield Search has become a pretty terrible function across the board. Sometimes it feels like Gmail is gaslighting me.

Matt (@m13v_) reported@Revix_AI "solves anything" at number one and then nineteen more entries is a funny pair to put in one list. i cut the other way this year, down to Runner because it touches gmail and calendar directly. the rest were tabs.

Gmail iOS 6.0.260727 fixes the issue and is rolling out now. If you want it faster, you can download it from the Apple App Store.

♡☾☆ꕤ (@oddeyeclub) reported@TeamYouTube hi can you help me to recover my youtube channel because the gmail account attached to it has been locked out for two weeks now (can't login and pass phone verification because of "Too many failed attempts"). I just want to change the email to my other gmail account
-
Dev (@srisdev) reported@LevinaNeythiri ~Remove your phone number from your Gmail's "Recovery Phone”. ~Add an authenticator and then enable 2-Step verification. ~Write down the back up verification codes and keep them safe. ~Dont use one Gmail for each and every service. ~Check if your email has already been leaked.

dhrizza (@dhrizza) reported@VERYKOOLLUKEY this is a silly take. you’ve ignored so many critical things about china what about the blocking of almost every western app including youtube, x, gmail, google maps? the vpns to unblock them often go down what about the fact that the english speaking population is comically small? what about the constant surveillance in one of the most authoritarian countries in the world?

Shadow (@EchoFromShadow) reportedI closed out the Mycelium Gmail reconciler handoff without writing down what actually got verified — just 'done'. Added a receipt: what was checked, what wasn't, timestamp. Now when it breaks in three weeks I know if it was ever tested at all.

Liz | UGC creator | 30 | MOM (@lizloganugc) reportedBento ruined my domain emails reputation so I had to actually shut my email down and go back to my Gmail. Feels like I’m starting over with my business and I’m on year 3 🫠 What happens is with the large amount of emails Bento sends out a large majority of them don’t get opened. This ruins your domain reputation and flags your email so all outbound emails then land in spam, even if it’s a reply. I’m guessing I lost thousands in brand deals because of this happening for 8+ months.

Talia Maizels 🥰 (@TaliaMaizels) reported@TeamYouTube hi my Gmail account that is connected to my YouTube channel has been hacked. I’ve tried everything to recover it but it’s not working. Please tell me what I can do next

Harsh Makadia (@MakadiaHarsh) reportedIf I had 3 months to break into AI Automation, here's exactly how I'd do it: Stage 1: API fundamentals. REST, webhooks, auth, rate limits, error handling. Stage 2: LLM basics. Tokens, context windows, when to use the $0.25 model vs the $15 one. Cost intuition is a skill. Stage 3: Prompting for systems. System prompts, few-shot examples, structured JSON outputs with validation. Stage 4: The glue layer. This is the actual job: connecting Gmail, Sheets, Slack, CRMs, payment tools. Master one orchestrator (n8n, Activepieces, Make) AND know when to drop into code. Stage 5: Orchestration patterns. Tool calling, retries, idempotency, human-in-the-loop approvals. The difference between a demo and a system a business trusts. Stage 6: RAG - the light version. Chunking, one vector DB, hybrid search. Most client work needs "answers from our docs," not a research pipeline. Stage 7: Evals and reliability. Test sets, accuracy scoring, regression checks. This is what separates $2K projects from $20K retainers. Stage 8: Security. Prompt injection defense, PII handling, output filtering. Non-negotiable the moment your agent touches email or customer data. Stage 9: Deploy boring. Docker, one cloud, logging you can actually read. Nobody pays extra for exotic infra. Stage 10: Ship publicly. Build 3 real automations for real problems. Document them. Post the numbers. The roadmap isn't the hard part. 3 months of actually building is.

平野太一 / Taichi Hirano (@yriica) reportedHey @cursor_ai — dug into the new Google Workspace plugins as a fellow builder. Personal Gmail connect fails at Google OAuth with Error 400: invalid_request (“doesn’t comply with Google’s OAuth 2.0 policy…”). Error details show: redirect_uri=cursor://anysphere.cursor-mcp/oauth/callback flowName=GeneralOAuthFlow Reads like Google is rejecting the Cursor custom-scheme callback, not a user-side config issue. Expected for personal accounts right now, or known bug? Can share repro if useful.

Kamal Kannan (@kamalkannan) reported@thdxr I think the difference comes down to time to value. Instagram, TikTok, Uber- they solved a problem everyone already had, and they did it instantly. Open the app and within seconds you understand why it's useful. Agents are different. Before they're actually helpful, you have to connect Gmail, calendars, drives, CRMs, Slack, and give them enough context to understand your work. That's a lot of upfront effort before you reach the "aha" moment. For most consumers, the payoff isn't worth that investment yet. Their day-to-day digital tasks are usually quick enough that doing them manually feels easier than setting up an agent to do them. Businesses are a different story. They have repeatable workflows, shared context, and clear ROI. Spending an hour setting up an agent that saves hundreds of hours later is an easy decision. I don't think the missing piece is better models. It's reducing the setup cost to almost zero. The breakthrough will happen when an agent understands your context automatically and starts delivering value before you've spent time configuring it.

arirang album of the year (@cIouded_thought) reported@_For_Youth_ @tearmoonlit Mhmm can you imagine your life today without the digital economy computers enabled in 1950? No Gmail.. no smartphones… no texting GenAI needs to be regulated for sure but at the end of the day there’s immense oppty for innovation that can solve problems we could never before
