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!

Women Pioneers at Muni: Adeline Svendsen and Muni’s First Newsletter By Jeremy Menzies To close out Women’s History Month, here’s a look back at one woman whose work to bring Muni staff together in the late 1940s created a legacy that lives on to this day. Adeline “Addy” Svendsen was founding editor of Muni’s first internal newsletter, “ Trolley Topics .” Adeline Svendsen sits at her desk in the Geneva Carhouse office building in this 1949 shot. Trolley Topics was a new venture when it started in February 1946. As Svendsen wrote in the first issue it was created, “to bring a little fun, a little news, and a lot of good will to all our fellow employees in the Railway.” Just two years prior in 1944, Muni merged with the Market Street Railway Company, expanding the small municipal operation into the largest transit provider in the city with hundreds of employees, vehicles of every shape and size, and dozens of facilities scattered across town. The newsletter was meant to help unite ...
