Do you still run that startup?
With Cozy Watch, I use the GitHub API, never thought about using emails as triggers.
I’ve actually got GitHub emails disabled, they can get pretty spammy.
Sadly no, the feedback loop with users lacked consistency and we never got around finding use cases. One of the visions for it was to help people clean up inboxes, because as you put it, some sources can get pretty spammy.
I'll keep an eye out for Cozy Watch, I hope you are successful!
A kernel extension-less sshfs for macOS. I tried using FSKit and got halfway before I felt too constrained by the extension security model (must be app sandboxed, must be approved by the user in system settings). Now it’s just a standalone command line binary that doesn’t require any special permissions since it proxies NFS to SFTP. Everything “just works” and performance is reasonable
Interesting... the way I workaround'd non-macos-native-sshfs is by using docker and mounting a local folder, do you plan on publishing your tool?
I work on Puter (https://github.com/heyPuter/puter/); an open-source, self-hostable internet computer.
People use Puter for an incredibly wide range of things, including cloud storage, web hosting, coding, AI, and gaming. Right now, we're mostly focused on improving performance and making sure that it's as fast as a regular desktop environment!
This looks fun! But the fact that the self hosted version lacks support for some core apps is sad, I'd love to be able to build puter apps! Any plans for an app store-like ecosystem?

I'm working on a man in the middle proxy for BGP, which can fix and inspect routing sessions on the fly. Like a firewall for the BGP control plane.
Some time ago I was building a mitm proxy myself, then I found out about: https://www.mitmproxy.org/
Maybe you already had it in your radar
I'm resurrecting peer-to-peer Matrix (https://arewep2pyet.com) thanks to the Dutch government, who started funding it in October.
The main question is which P2P overlay network to use, if any: the prior incarnation used Pinecone (a variant of Yggdrasil), whereas this time we're pondering keeping it simpler and more scalable and using Matrix itself as the backbone to connect together smallish local P2P meshes - so by default you try to route via Matrix, but failing that you look on your LAN or BLE to see if you can talk directly to whoever you're addressing. Time will tell if this works :)
If you are open to suggestions, libp2p has a good amount of sdks for several languages and you can integrate kademlia for peer discovery
I’m building Cozy Watch, a macOS app that brings GitHub notifications straight to your desktop.
It tracks pull requests, CI results, and mentions in real time — so you know when you’re needed without checking GitHub or digging through emails.
It has a menu bar for quick access and a clean desktop UI for more detail.
Some years ago, I co-founded a startup that would run workflows when email messages arrived, any email from any source was parsed and it would trigger "actions" that could include notifications - this sounds like a good use case for it! You don't need the service to expose an api to listen in, since most services end up sending email as last fallback.

The only thing missing here is a way to SEND emails from your new business email. I don’t think CloudFlare (yet) offers virtual SMTP for your routed email, so you can receive emails to your new “noah@mynewcompany.com” address but sent mail will still come from your personal email address.
Anyone have a simple way of solving this? I’ve done it in a complex way (setting up my own SMTP service through through Google Apps, a paid service), but I’m wondering if there’s a simpler approach I should use going forward for these quick setups.
Mailgun has a free tier for low volume that you can setup on any email client via smtp.
I am looking to learn more about Clojure, I read through it all and was happy that it ends up with examples for an actual api app. I may ask for more in depth lessons as I find more suitable apps to be built.
