Resend started as a frustration. As an indie hacker, working nights and weekends, I felt like every email service was built for someone else. So I decided to create my own. Today @marclou runs 33 startups solo on it. I know Resend is not for everyone (and that's okay), but it feels nice to be able to build products for other indie hackers.

Steal this Codex-native email workflow from @danshipper: 1. Write a one-page operating manual for your inbox Include: - VIPs - what to auto-archive - what to summarize - scheduling rules - escalation rules - your reply style 2. Open an agent-native email tool in Codex Dan uses @CoraComputer, which gives Codex two ways to act: - commands for archive/summarize/draft - a browser UI it can click through like a person 3. Work from a doc, not your inbox Dan has Codex create a running document for the inbox sweep. Every draft and decision goes there first. Then Dan replies inline: Spam. Archive. Reply asking for more details. Send the invite. Codex drafts in Cora with Dan’s writing style, then waits for approval before anything sends.
