shashank (@aloobhujiyan) reported@coreyganim step 2 is where they can't actually fix the multi-channel communication mess. the business owner texts on WhatsApp, emails from Gmail, and the team is on Slack. until those three talk to each other, no audit matters.

Glitch Valkyrie (@GlitchValkyrie) reportedThis is a reminder to GET OFF GMAIL. This will increasingly happen to everyone. Gmail is the single largest point of failure. Probably a good idea to have a backup or your own email server.
-
Mohini Shewale (@s_mohinii) reportedThis will finally fix AI. Imagine opening Gmail. You're writing a sales email to a client. Before you even finish typing, it pulls up: The last conversation you had with them The sentiment of that conversation The context you completely forgot about No searching. No digging through threads. It just knows. We all know AI memory sucks. That's why I'm so excited about Engramme. Can't wait to see how this space evolves.

Diane Antonio (@dianeantonio) reported@Google @gmail None of the support options are viable. I am stuck in a loop between 'locked due to suspicious activity' and 'you didn't provide enough info' when all it asks for is my email. No option to appeal or try another way. I've waited over 2 weeks with the same result. PLEASE FIX IT!
-
optional pork lover (@shadowfigure0) reported@tunahorse21 Its probably because your login info is your username or email but related to username. Something on one of your devices got scraped for info somewhere. Would recommend getting your 2fa changed to a secondary Gmail and get a Google number (free) and just silence the notification

Charles Pick (@c_pick) reportedPSA if you: 1. Use Google Workspace on your domain 2. Use Cloudflare to host your domain 3. Login to Cloudflare using Google OAuth You're at serious risk of getting permanently locked out of all your accounts. Google is a fickle beast with a terrible customer support process that's mostly machine-driven with no humans involved at all. They shut down accounts with little or no explanation, and no way to resolve the issue. You might think that you can just change your email to a different provider, but when your Google Workspace account gets locked down you lose all your OAuth access as well. That means you lose the ability to login to your domain registrar if that's how you signed up. That's the real lock-in. Gmail is pretty good but you could live with an alternative. But if Google owns all your auth to other providers, then that's a single point of failure that could leave you stranded without access to any of your accounts, potentially forever. This isn't a Cloudflare-specific issue, but I've just seen it happen to someone I know and they had a very stressful time trying to resolve it. It's less convenient, but for services you care about you should use email and password or passkeys, not Google OAuth

Nas (@Nas_tech_AI) reported2. Delete entire categories in bulk Gmail automatically categorizes emails, use it to delete quickly: - Search: category:promotions (all promotional emails) - Search: category:social (notifications from Facebook, LinkedIn, etc.) - Search: category:updates (receipts, confirmations) - Check the box → “Select all conversations that match this search” - Delete everything at once These categories accumulate over years and most can be deleted without issue.

Yousuf Ahmmad | Cold Email Strategist (@Yousuf_Ahmmad) reportedHere's what broken infrastructure looks like: → Sending from your main domain → No SPF, DKIM or DMARC configured→ Gmail accounts with zero warmup → Blasting 200 emails/day from a fresh inbox This is a spam trap. Not a campaign. #coldemail #b2b

GREG ISENBERG (@gregisenberg) reportedhow to turn iMessage into an AI executive assistant 1. give lindy your phone number and google account. two steps. that's the entire setup. 2. wake up to a daily brief. your meetings, the weather, 63 emails triaged overnight, replies already drafted. you barely open gmail anymore. 3. get meeting prep 15 minutes before every call. who you're meeting, what you talked about last time, what they need from you. 4. message teammates mid-meeting without leaving the call. you say it out loud. lindy sends the slack, creates the google doc, notifies the team. 5. send a screenshot of anything and it acts on it. party invite. invoice. voice note. one message and it handles it. 6. update your CRM after every call automatically. tell it once. done forever. 7. ask it anything about your past meetings and emails. "what did that company say they needed?" it knows. your inbox is its memory. 8. let it catch the stuff you'd miss. "your dinner reservation is at a restaurant closed on tuesdays. want me to move it?" the best executive assistants don't wait to be asked because they just handle it. that's what kinda @getlindy feels like. not sure why more people aren't talking about products like these i liked it so much i invested in the biz. this is for people who find openclaw daunting and dont want to deal with the security issues episode is live on @startupideaspod (full breakdown there) watch

Mickrich384 (@mickrich384) reported@kevmoo The issue with data on voter fraud is that it is impossible to have any without voter id. If Gmail did not require a password to login, it would be almost impossible to evaluate how many people are looking at emails that don't belong to them

Matt (@matt_npl) reportedPrices just increased for MentionAgent, here's why: - Email warmup built-in (runs on autopilot) - Email server built-in (no outlook or gmail accounts needed) - Prospecting, drafting, and sending all in one place - Email inbox built-in - Web dashboard & Telegram bot for convenient outreach - Autopilot mode gives you daily ready to send drafts One subscription > five different ones + constant context switching

Dustin Struckman (@d1g1t0l_com) reportedThe architecture was fundamentally broken. CloseDeals uses an MCP-first design. Claude pulls data from Gmail/Calendar, pushes it through Cowork connectors, then into the CloseDeals DB. The email brief sits downstream of all that.
