    It’s cool that he vibe coded something for his specific needs but the lamenting of being unable to share it because of the fear of a backlash is a bit premature. I wonder how long he (and others like him) will be able to keep his project going when he eventually adds more features that introduce more bugs and the effort/cost of maintaining the project becomes too much. We’ve already seen that for the majority of people vibe coding stuff, the answer is relatively quickly.

    I’ve found interesting projects that have been vibe coded and seem to be well-maintained but I think vibe coded projects need at least 6 months to a year of history before they replace anything critical in my stack.



  • For less than $30/year, you could buy your own domain and use it with any number of reliable paid email providers giving you a level of control that isn’t possible with the usual suspects. You don’t need a vps or have to host anything yourself if you don’t want to.

    I’ve used Purelymail for a few years and have no issues adding them to the recommendations from others here.

    One thing to consider is whether you want IMAP to be able to set up your preferred clients instead of using the providers webmail/apps.


  • If every update required users to tweak something to restore a setting to a previous state, that should drive users away from firefox. I haven’t had firefox as my daily since late last year (zen now) but that wasn’t my experience during my decades with firefox and my fairly frequent visits to the firefox subreddit indicate that isn’t the case either. I don’t remember an update causing a major issue since the opt-out AI controversy (v145?) so please let me know if other updates since then have had any serious pushback with opt-out features.
