A proper busy bee day

I’ve been a proper busy bee today.
To start, I spent some time adding Reddit communities to the most popular email provider pages across the site, making it easier to see what everyday users are actually experiencing. I also launched a handy little tool that lets you move email between providers while preserving your folder structure and Gmail tags. It handles up to 10 GB per transfer, and best of all, it’s completely free to use.
The main highlight of the day, though, is Blogby.email. Because I enjoy keeping this daily log and value having zero friction, I built and launched a self-hosted blogging platform designed to run directly on Cloudflare, happily ticking away even on their free tier.
Setup takes about two minutes, and from then on, you simply blog by sending an email. The subject line becomes the post title, any hashtags turn into tags, and you can attach photos or write whatever is on your mind. You just send it to your private blog address, and it’s live on its own page within 30 seconds. It makes posting on the go effortless while an idea is still fresh. If you fancy having a poke around, there’s a live demo here, and you can grab your own free copy directly at blogby.email.
Alongside that, I managed to get two new pieces of writing published: a comprehensive look at Cloudron and a practical setup guide for Cloudflare DMARC management.
And finally, for those following along with the Cloudflare-hosted mail server project, things are moving swiftly. It’s genuinely just around the corner now.
As always, sharing the love.
Stay safe
