Show HN: We made a CLI and API to automate inbound email Hi HN! We're a 5 person team working on simplifying the creation of email apps. Right now, most email services focus on outbound emails (newsletters, transactional, delivery), but that doesn't solve the fact that we all hate receiving them. You can try it at https://mailscript.com Mailscript lets you create programmable email addresses. It works headless, via the CLI, API (we use Swagger to support most languages). You can even run it as a daemon on a server (to run functions when emails arrive). Once you get username@mailscript.com, you can create as many aliases as you'd like (including on the fly support for *@username.mailscript.com). Just like in Gmail, we support adding . or +. Every address gets an SMTP key as well, so you can use your favourite email client e.g. Gmail... We've been working hard on making the CLI and API easy to understand, and take a trigger/actions approach. We even have parsers for GitHub emails (so you can automate Issues, PRs, Actions). You can see what the code looks like in our templates: https://ift.tt/3bShgSQ Example use cases: - send Zabbix alerts to SMS if 2 messages in one minute! - post Github releases to Discord - save pdf attachments to Google Drive - create shared email addresses You can even collaborate on your email infrastructure on GitHub by exporting it as a YAML file. If you'd like to learn more: Docs: https://ift.tt/3boFUKu API playground: https://ift.tt/3uilRWH We'd really like to hear your feedback, especially the harsh criticism. If you'd like any help with building automations, we'll take the time to help you code them. Feel free to ask for help on our Discord (https://ift.tt/30fu9AN) or at contact@mailscript.com!

Show HN: Tape It, iOS recording app for musicians Hello HN, Over the last 15 months, two friends and I developed the music recording app we felt we wanted based on our own needs as musicians. It's called Tape It [1] and has just recently hit the Apple App Store [2]. We put a lot of effort into a good UX to help musicians really focus on playing their instrument instead of pretending to be a recording engineer. The app records in stereo on newer iPhones (although that's a premium feature; the free version only records in standard mono audio quality). I would be really grateful for advice from this community on how to best approach marketing. We had a great TechCrunch article covering our launch [3], and we posted it on various music websites. Turns out advertising on Google or Apple Search is a dark art, though. We have some good ideas for developing a good social media presence, but they will take time. Please hit us with feedback, opinions and advice that you think a young ind...
