Monty (@mont_py) reported@krzyzanowskim @NathanBLawrence yep, they totally ****** up and centralized the email. it almost feels like 95% of the global is on the gmail and the rest of crumbles shared between outlook, proton, etc. such a shame, the times when we were able to run own email server...
-
Jay Brunet (@SRVpress) reportedSpent 2 hours setting up email records, DKIM, postfix, yadda yadda because some retarded bot decided my RDNS didn't match my hostname after sending one automated email to a client on @gmail probably from a perfectly normal WordPress login. Email is the worst aspect of hosting.

慧音-知识和历史的半兽 (@Necokeine) reported@AsafNadler @nasdaily Chinese who really cares privacy are using American softwares, because they know that Chinese government can't force Google/Meta to hand over user data. Then the problem, what do you think is easier for U.S government, ask Google for gmail data or ask Bytedance China for lark data?

Naman Rohandiya (@NamanRohandiya) reportedEvery company has a second brain. The problem is it's scattered across Slack, Gmail, Notion, Google Drive, docs, and hundreds of conversations. We're building Octopus to unify it. Connect your tools, ask anything, and get answers backed by citations.

Xander Zhu (@xanderone_zhu) reportedI connect Gmail to ChatGPT Work and ask it to read the latest Orvia feedback. It finds the bugs people keep reporting, pulls out what happened, drafts the replies, and tells me what to fix first. Then I send the fix list to Codex. That is what I use Work for.

Manivannan P (@Manivannan_RMS) reportedI got mine back by asking X to revert to my old mail account (that the mafia spammers updated with their mail).. They did revert back and logged out my X account from all devices (those spammers created a passkey from their phone to access my account).. Then login again with gmail.. It will ask us to immediately update our password.. Do that and relogin... Bingo You will get it 👍🏽👍🏽

Peter Garber (@petegarber) reported@Cartidise @OutofGalaxyy The icons might be stupid here but Gchat works pretty well inside of Gmail and this UI actually is OK. The only problem is that Gchat should literally be able to replace @SlackHQ but it’s been ignored.

Wander (@LilBoyWander) reported@kcwolfy_ @openshipio I’ve been down this road, many of us have. Email is tough to have self hosted. New IPs have zero reputation and often land in spam permanently with Gmail, Outlook, etc. You need perfect rDNS, SPF, DKIM, DMARC, slow warming, and constant monitoring…that’s the hidden cost of something like this. One slip and everything dies in spam. I do not suggest doing this unless you have the time and patience to make it work. @resend is my go-to, along with Coolify.

James (@jamescoder12) reportedFirst why most inboxes are a disaster. It's not your fault. Gmail defaults every account to one setting: all emails arrive in one flat list. No categories. No priority. No filtering. Everything from your most important client to a promotional email from a store you bought shoes from in 2019 lands in the same stream. The average professional receives 85+ emails per day. Over a year, that's 22,000+ messages arriving in one undifferentiated pile. Gmail has 15+ organizational tools built in. Labels. Filters. Stars. Categories. Multiple Inboxes. Priority Inbox. Nudges. Snooze. Auto-advance. All of them are turned off or unconfigured by default. The coach's framework: "Gmail isn't broken. It's unconfigured. The difference between email chaos and email clarity is 20 minutes in Settings. Once. The system runs itself after that."

Kalyan (@YallaSaikalyan) reportedwhy MCP exists even though APIs already do. An API is just how two programs talk, like your app sending a request to Slack’s endpoint to read messages. That works fine for one service, but it breaks down when your app needs to connect to ten services like Gmail, Jira, Notion, and your database. For each one you have to code authentication, API calls, error handling, and retries yourself. Adding an LLM doesn’t fix this. The model doesn’t make API calls directly, it just tells your app what action to take, and your app still has to run the hardcoded integrations you built. If you then build a second LLM-powered app that needs the same ten services, you end up maintaining 20 separate integrations. MCP solves it with a client-server layer. Each app gets a standard MCP client, and each service gets an MCP server that speaks a common language. So two apps and ten services means roughly 12 components instead of 20. The client can also use Discovery to ask a server what actions are available and pass that list to the LLM, so the model chooses from allowed actions instead of you hardcoding every decision. MCP doesn’t replace APIs. The MCP server sits in front of an existing API as a translator, while the API itself stays the same. It’s essentially a standardized AI-facing layer that cuts down integration complexity across multiple apps.

Jeff Bohren (@JeffBohren) reported@allenholub The devil is in the details. I have consulted with customers on login more times than I can count and login is different and spawns a dozen other requirements. It's just AD user ID/password? Cool, how many forests do you have? 10? Great, is there cross forest trust? Are samaccountname attributes unique across all your forests? Are you supporting GMail authn (i.e. OIDC)? Is there a HRD page? SAML2 support? Is the app localized? Does the locale setting persist? What languages does it need to be localized to? What kind of devices need to be supported? Does the login need to work on PC clients and mobile client? In the year 2026, why aren't you supporting passwordless AuthN? How are users registering PUSH AuthN, TOTP, Passkeys, Typing Behavioral Biometrics, CAC card, etc? But I guess you think all that is just a detail.

Prajwal Tomar (@PrajwalTomar_) reportedI just replaced $200/month in SaaS with one internal tool. New lead hits Gmail. It auto-tags, updates our pipeline in Sheets, drafts the proposal with AI, and fires an SMS follow-up via Twilio. Built the whole thing in one afternoon in Lovable. People still think Lovable is just for pretty UI. It's not. You can wire up Gmail, Sheets, Twilio, anything. Build tools that actually replace your stack. I use connectors almost daily now. On client work, agency automation, side projects. I finally wrote down the entire system. Every shortcut, every mistake I made, the stuff I wish I knew on day one.

Nick Puru (@NicholasPuru) reportedEVERYONE INSTALLING AI AGENTS IS SKIPPING THE ONLY STEP THAT MATTERS. They download the tool. They connect gmail, the calendar, the whole stack. Then they ask it to write something in their voice and it hands back generic slop. So they decide agents don't work. the tool was never the problem. you gave it access and called that training. access is not knowledge. an employee with your passwords and no onboarding is still useless on day one. Here's what changed when i actually sat mine down and taught it my business: → wrote a full client proposal off a real sales call transcript, then checked itself against the transcript so it couldn't invent anything → found 10 businesses matching our ICP, found the right contact at each, drafted all 10 emails into gmail while i slept → saved the proposal process as a reusable skill, so it never needs teaching twice → one typed sentence put a business brief on my phone at 7am, every day, forever free. open source. runs on my own laptop. never wrote a line of code. 🔖 bookmark this before you install another agent study this 👇

Reggie Tan | rxggie.eth (@rxggietan) reportedI despise default AI copy. Especially in emails. Here's how I taught mine to stop sounding like it. A few months ago, an AI agent I was testing (using Hermes) drafted an email that sounded way too eerily like me. And I'm not talking about "professional email from reggie tan" me. I mean it actually sounded like me - with all my quirks and isms - 90% of the way there on the first try. I was out running errands, so I voice-noted the agent to check my inbox for any new emails. Something had come in. I told it the gist of what to say as a response, and moved on. A minute later the reply was sitting there - the opening, the phrasing, my catch phrases, the way I sign off, all of it was totally me. It tripped me out a little. I'd previously used AI to write emails plenty of times before, and it always came back sounding like AI. Saved me a few minutes, maybe. But it definitely never sounded like me. The problem was never that AI can't write. It's that most people let it write in its default voice. And you can spot default AI in two seconds, just like you can spot a standard Canva template, or just another Claude-designed website. Nobody teaches their AI anything. However email is the place where it really matters. It isn't a broadcast. It's one person writing to one person. You're trying to build a relationship there. Send someone a generic version of yourself and you've missed the whole point of writing to them. So I stopped relying on a lucky voice note and built it on purpose. I rebuilt my voice in Claude Cowork. Connected the Gmail connector so it could read how I actually write, not a list of rules about how I write. Then used skill-creator to turn that into a reusable email skill. Told it to look for example emails in my sent folder. Then made it look again for more, over and over again, until it was satisfied with the volume of sample data. I read what it gave back, corrected it, ran it again. It's a loop, not a one-shot - and every pass landed closer. The goal should be 80% of the way there. Back in the prime years of web3 (the golden years of crypto), way before ChatGPT 3.5 changed the world, I solo'd six clients at once (led 6 marketing teams for 6 companies simultaneously) and it nearly broke me. What's changed isn't that AI does the work for me. It's that the output still sounds and operates like me, which is the only reason I could take that kind of volume on again without the quality slipping. Using AI isn't the edge anymore. Everyone's doing that. The edge is whether it still sounds like you, or like everyone else. When you get an email you can instantly tell was written by default AI, what's your honest first reaction? 👾 I'm kicking around turning this into a short workshop for anyone who wants to do this with their own AI. If that's you, drop a comment or DM me - I'll share details when we're ready to rock.
