OP's service, as far as I understand, is a MITM proxy. The send emails using your credentials, not theirs.

So it can still act as a proxy for stolen Gmail, Outlook credentials or brute forcing passwords?

I'm afraid this will soon be abused by spammers & criminals around the world. I think having a free plan in the space of sending mail is a bad idea and puts paying customers at risk of being disrupted because your IP (-block) landed on someones blacklist.

I find the fact that in this day people can own two letter domains absolutely staggering, based on rarity, those should be worth millions I guess?

How do they defeat private mode in my browser?
WhatsName · 5 months ago
Simple, by defining the price for customers they have insufficient data on as max(price). Private mode and VPN are actually super easy to detect for someone willing to extract the maximum value out of you.

The name is to easily confused with xorg and people already have a hard time telling groq and grok appart.

I would suggest rebranding if you just released it.

If it were any good I would assume there would be no need to hype it up.

My theory is that LLMs will get commoditized within the next year. The edge that OpenAI had over the competition is arguably lost. If the trend continues we will be looking at inference like commodity prices, where the most efficient like cerebras and groq will be the only ones actually making money at the end.

The demo is not convincing, I rarely find myself migrating between package managers and if I do I would expect claude code to ace this task without mcp help.

That’s not been my experience with drug dealers.

Except for Aliexpress you are not a customer. Just like Facebook, Insta,... they are selling your attention to the highest bidder.
