Say a little more? Give me more context?


like for automated testing with puppeteer, ie: register, then check email via api and click validation link for example. I would pay for that feature.


I could do that. How much would you pay?


5/year. if you make it free i'll add it to my mcp server tools at https://github.com/profullstack/mcp-server/


I've released a new feature that allows you to retrieve a list of URLS from the inbound emails via API. There is now an API page that makes it pretty straight forward. Let me know if you have any further comments.


Awesome. I’ll check it out. Sometimes validation is a number though


thats a good point. I could also include the email body in the api response. Then you could regex to get the code. Later on i could layer in a ai parser to extract the code and just return that.



would be cool to parse validation codes, urls and phone numbers perhaps all metadata like contact info too.


The email body is now returned in the api as you asked for. In order to do the parsing I would be making an openai chat api call...so that would be for paid users only. Thats reasonable right?


Yeah but can you have the option to pass my own key?


That works.


the history of food is fascinating. But this is the history of food and lumber which is even more fascinating.


Wow...i didn't for even a second think it was anything other than a way to get a financial benefit. Kudos to you for not be as cynical as me.


The 2 things aren't mutually exclusive. Because it reduces complexity you will likely see a financial benefit from the cost of the engineering team alone. Having managed an infrastructure with a ton of subdomains I can say that it's almost certainly in their best interest to standardize the domain across all tools at least for engineering. Your data is just an added bonus :)


And thats ok.


I've often wondered if it is convenience rather than IQ that is the limiting factor for this. If I approach a bin with two hands full of garbage, how much time am I going to spend using half a hand to open an elaborate lock mechanism? Not much.


If you won’t spend the requisite time to properly dispose of your refuse, even if mildly inconvenient, then you don’t belong in our parks.


In addition, if someone reaches the "I need two hands to open this and both hands are full" stage and can not figure out a solution, it would appear that IQ is still the limiting factor.


Not belonging in the parks and not being in the parks are two different things, though.


And how successful has that attitude been so far?


Many parts of the world are very sparsely populated. The north American continent alone would easily double or triple its current population. We'd have to be smart about it, think carefully where we put new cities etc so that we hedge against climate change... it would be easily doable.

Africa too, is capable of supporting a much higher population IF we want to get really serious about doing so.


Military and intelligence don’t care about drugs. That is someone else’s problem. They would never reveal their capabilities over a mere drug bust.


Drugs are a great source of cash, as well as kompromat. Can you support your claim with anything?


this coupled with deep fakes... could make things go really wrong in our societies. Demographic collapse inbound in 3,2,1.


I'm going to put this down for myself as a historical marker. A marker for what, i don't know exactly... but it seems noteworthy.


It reminds me a lot of the "New Economy" discussions my programmer colleagues were having in mid-to-late 1999 about CSCO and the rest. One guy persuaded his grandmother to sell out of bonds and buy tech stocks. That ended badly.


It could be that. Or it could be the start of something brand new and very big/exciting. Afterall, the hype of the tech stocks did come to fruition...but 5-15 years later. I don't know.


Yes, and it will mostly likely be handling debits and credits.
