  Somewhere in your ESP sits a segment that hasn't opened an email since January. Come November, those addresses help decide whether Gmail shows your Black Friday launch to anyone at all. That makes September the quiet start of BFCM. Suppressing the dead weight and confirming authentication before the volume ramps. Running the margin math on the offer while nobody's attached to a banner yet. None of it looks like holiday marketing, and all of it decides deliverability and profit once the sends start. And the sends will have company. Triple Whale tracked over 5.5 million email campaigns and 4.6 million automated flows across BFCM last year. Nobody out-volumes that week. The brands that get seen chose months earlier which addresses were worth sending to. One afternoon covers your version. Pull last year's BFCM numbers past the opens, down to margin after discounts and new versus returning revenue. Suppress what's been silent all year. Write the discount ceiling down before anyone falls in love with an offer. Do it this month and November becomes sending instead of firefighting.

  @ProtonSupport Will any emails to Proton email accounts or Gmail email accounts linked in the app that were sent during the outage eventually come through?

  @deekor_v Appeal, it will be accepted within few hours. And login in Gmail app then. You'll get your account back. Until appeal is not accepted, don't try to login.

  Most of the SaaS software we use have a major flaw in them and most people aren't aware of it. I'm not going to breadcrumb you to read the full writeup. The main flaw is that there's no pause button. We can't pause our account. That's it? You might think. But think about all the SaaS software you use on a daily basis, which is almost 100% of all software. Take an example of Gmail workspace. If you've been using it (which is a SaaS), the moment you stop paying, your account access is gone. And if you don't pay the subscription (aka ransom), you lose your data and work. All modern SaaS platforms are aimed at keeping revenue alive. And I understand that economic need. But that doesn't mean I agree with this practice. That is the reason, for all my clients at Sisyphus Consulting, one of the most important filters used in services and advisory is: can we press breaks without losing data? That is one of the problems I wanted to address. So, we launched Self-hosted Software Management service almost a year back. It is our end-to-end service helping businesses setup, scale and maintain their own open source applications and servers. The ability to pause the whole setup, stopping the monthly billing and still retaining ownership of the accumulated data, is one of the things that I'm proud of offering. The interesting matter is that, most of us do not think about this. Because none of the major SaaS providers offer this pause button. What we don't see, we don't think about. Out of sight, out of mind. For example, have you thought about having your free Gmail account emails having physically backed up on your own device or server? I too, hadn't thought about it few years ago. We build our entire work and life around a Gmail account and we don't even think about owning our emails. Almost a year back, finally I switched to Thunderbird, backed up all of 10k+ emails of past decade in a readable, open format. Now I have no worries about Gmail going down tomorrow. It is crazy how many things the modern SaaS business model has taken away from us: ownership, longevity, interoperability and joy of using the same tools for years.

  Gmail dark mode has broken more of our emails than Outlook ever did. And nobody warns you, because it never seems to show up in your own inbox. Here's the problem… Outlook is at least predictable. It doesn't support something, you work around it, and it stays broken the same way forever. Gmail dark mode reads your carefully chosen colors and decides, per platform, whether to flip them. Gmail on Android inverts your backgrounds. Gmail on iOS partially inverts them. Gmail on the web mostly leaves them alone. Same HTML, three different emails. And prefers-color-scheme, the one standard that's supposed to solve this, is ignored by the clients that need it most. I call this the Gmail flip. Your email is correct right up until the moment it renders. What actually breaks: - Dark logos on transparent PNGs land on a dark background and vanish - Light backgrounds get inverted but the text sitting on them sometimes doesn't. White on white. - A button with a light fill and light text becomes one flat rectangle Things we do to help combat: 1. Set an explicit color on every text element, not just the parent. Gmail inverts by luminance, and inherited colors are the first casualty. 2. Give every logo a version that survives both modes, usually a subtle outline or a padded solid background. 3. Use the linear-gradient background hack on anything that must not flip. Gmail leaves gradient backgrounds alone.

  @_avichawla Cutting the redundant layer out of a pipeline is the same instinct I applied to my own inbox. I set up Opencode with a Gmail MCP server to triage which emails actually deserve a reply and read the warmth behind them, authenticated through the gmail-mcp auth step.

  Almanac. YC S26. Own computer. Text it work; it texts when it's done. Slack and iMessage. A wiki it reads before it acts. Pauses at login, payment, or a decision it should not make alone. 7-day trial on all plans. Opened HN stamp: 19 hours ago on September 1, 55 points, 47 comments. Product Hunt: launched this week, 211 followers, 3.0 from 1 review. No rank on that page. No dollars on the homepage I opened. I did not connect Gmail. Not Runway's agent. Would you text a computer work, or keep a tab open to watch it?

  @theo Account risk is the silent pricing factor. A Gemini ban that nukes Gmail and Drive is not a product outage, it is personal catastrophe. Labs that want builders will separate model access from identity, or lose the default to anyone who cannot afford that downside.

  @Zoom Oh! I remember the other problem. The "send a code" button is super slow. Yes, I checked my spam folder. Took several minutes to come through. To a gmail domain. It also produces a captcha error every time you click the button even after you've already clicked the captcha.

  @GergelyOrosz Really? When tech companies have an outage they sort of shrug and the economy goes on. AWS out - “we’re sorry” Robinhood down - “we made mistakes” Microsoft/Gmail down - “we’re working on it” Bank can’t dispense money? Bank runs, economic fall out, congressional hearings.

  @egavrilenko11 @bot 2/3 GitHub didn't work either. I even tried creating a Cursor account, and it was the same. It only worked when I used the Gmail login option. I used another personal account and then linked it to my Supergrok account. I'm logged in that way, but when I connected the X plugin...

  The uncomfortable truth. Google and Microsoft have spent the last decade building the two most complete free productivity ecosystems in history. Word processing. Spreadsheets. Presentations. Email. Cloud storage. Video calls. Notes. Tasks. Projects. Forms. Websites. AI. Messaging. Calendar. PDF tools. Every category. Both companies. Free. And yet the average knowledge worker pays $80-$150/month for third-party apps that duplicate what these ecosystems already provide because Google markets Gmail and Microsoft markets Word, and neither company tells you about the other 28 tools sitting behind the same login. That’s not an accident. Google doesn’t make money when you use Google Keep. They make money when you use Gmail and Keep keeps you in Gmail longer. Microsoft doesn’t make money when you use To Do for free. They make money when your company sees you using To Do and buys Microsoft 365 Business for the entire organization. The free tools are loss leaders. They exist to acquire users, not to generate revenue. And because they’re loss leaders, neither company promotes them aggressively. You don’t see Google Keep on a billboard. You don’t see Microsoft Planner in a Super Bowl ad. The free tools are invisible by design because the business model works whether you find them or not. Meanwhile, 9 separate companies Notion, Zoom, Dropbox, Slack, Todoist, Grammarly, Adobe, Trello, and OpenAI charge you monthly for products that are often inferior versions of what Google and Microsoft give away. They survive because the free alternatives are invisible. Their entire business model depends on you not knowing that two companies already built what they’re selling. “You have two accounts. You’ve had them for years. Between them, they contain every productivity tool you need free. You’ve been paying $1,644/year for 9 apps that duplicate what your Gmail login and your Microsoft login already provide. The tools were never hidden. They were just never advertised. And 9 companies have been billing you monthly hoping they never would be.” One weekend. 9 apps canceled. $1,644/year back. The accounts were always free. The tools were always there. You just never opened them.

  @bot @bot i have been waiting for five days for Customer service to resolve a sync issue. I signed up mainly for GrokBot but have been unable to use it because it tries to sync my cursor to my Gmail account which is attached to my Apple account which is how my grok account logged in.

  @XFreeze the recovery piece stands out to me most. for longer tasks across multiple PDFs + MCPs like Gmail, Notion or Google Drive, losing progress to a token or network issue would be rough. that kind of resilience matters a lot more as agent workflows get longer!
