The last couple of weeks I've been building 'Recivo', a very simple way to receive emails programmatically. There are plenty of API-based services that can be used to send emails, but receiving them is harder. My service exposes a simple REST endpoint + event webhook that makes it a 5 min setup to start receiving. Attachments are included as well.

The main use-cases I'm thinking of right now is triggering agents using email or a very simple document upload flow to any SaaS (just forward an email to the SaaS).

I have a use-case maybe you can help. I use PocketBase + JS SPA and I want to Playwright test it. Testing password reset relies on an email. I extract the verification code and use it in my tests. Today I use mailhog container + rest API but parsing out the email is a PITA.


This is a good idea. I think email is poised to become a more influential user interface tool, due to the advent of LLMs.


this is awesome, good work!
