#1 - Had a domain lying around, so I thought, why not put it to some use?
so basically i wanted a temp mail service. nothing crazy, just something that works fast and especially no ads. been sitting on the idea for a while and finally started it this week.
first 2 days were basically me fighting cloudflare email routing. had no idea how workers could intercept emails before this. like the concept is simple but actually getting it to work took way longer than i expected.
the worker handles everything now. creating mailboxes, storing incoming emails, serving them through the api. used hono for routing which is surprisingly nice for workers. postal-mime for parsing the raw email content. d1 for the database. pretty straightforward stack honestly.
Still need to build the frontend properly but the backend is solid.
