Don't Use Discord as a Forum
I'm not familiar with the codebase, but from my understanding it saves messages in a database [1], then periodically send out a formatted email to people who subscribed to the thread/group [2]
Anyone can post on the forum, you just have to provide an email address (you don't have to register, but you can enforce it)

[META] Like Rationalists Leaving A . . .
What I would really, really like in any forum software is an NNTP bridge. Ideally bidirectional, but at least readable via NNTP. So far, the only one I've seen is https://forum.dlang.org/ with actual code at https://github.com/CyberShadow/DFeed .

G Suite legacy free edition accounts being suspended on July 1, 2022
It's a pain in the ass right now. Original I come up with the domain hanami.run because I explained here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O1p2crPpFIc I feel like wind blow flowers where Hanami blow out emails.

IP for mail server
I run an email forwarding services (https://hanami.run if you want to check it out) and I can share some info:
-
Ask HN: Great tools for solo SaaS founders?
I found https://hanami.run (soon to be mailwip.com due to name conflict with hanamirb.org) to setup email forwarding and a simple blog platform by "email to post" and webhook.
Use it you can consolidate emails from multiple domains to forward to the same inbox. And you can add webhook/slack notification too.
-
Truth about ProtonMail
You can look into mine (https://hanami.run) very fast to sign up and have a few cool features about webhook or smtp.
Also, improvmx.com is a great product as well.
If you like open source, https://maddy.email/ is a single binary deployment that can handle everything even IMAP.
https://mailcow.github.io/mailcow-dockerized-docs/ is a dockerize solution with super detail document as well.

How to Create a SaaS and Compete with the Big Players as a Solo Founder
If you want to compete with the big players, you have to solve the most important pain point and work upward from that small use base.
My case: I work on https://hanami.run (will soon move to https://mailwip.com due to hanamirb.org conflict) and email forwarding is very competitive. Big and old players are all over the place because at the end of day, setting up email forwarding isn't hard and many open source project did it, heck you can spin up AWS lambda for incoming email in no time.
The pain point is: email will drop sometime, time to time no matter how good an email forwarding service is because they have to scan spam, have false positive, or because of strict DMARC/SPF rule. And I have no tools available to help me out there. So I focus strongly on my maillog features with many level of privacy:
- no log at all
-
Ask HN: Solo-preneurs, how do you DevOps to save time?
- docker-compose to spin up everything. It's super nice. Again, the deployment is done with a `rsync` then `docker-compose up -f docker-compose-prod.yml`
Eventually when deployment changes very frequent and need scale/ha I added in Kubernetes. K8S is way easiser to setup than you think and it handle all other suff(load balancer, environment variable etc).
And my deploy now become: `kubectl apply -f`
One trick I used is to use `sed` or `envsubst` to replace the image hash.
For backedup, I again, literally setup cronjob from an external server, `ssh` into database and run `pgdump`.
I also have a nice NFS server to centralize config and sync back to our git repo.
I used this whole setup to operate https://hanami.run an email forwarding service for the first 3 months before I added Kubernetes.

When users never use the features they asked for
So I want to share a story about user asking for a feature then not using it.
I run an email forwarding services(https://hanami.run) basically you add your domains in and add some records.
We had this one heavy users who has like hundreds of domains. So our UI isn't design for that. Who has hundreds of domains? So they approach and asked us for a way to organize those domains into a hierarchy structure.
All good.
They are paid our highest tier ($30 per month) so we prioritize the requests and work on it.
2 days later that same user downgrade to the lowest plan and delete all of their hundred of domains...
That complicated features remain unused to nowadays...

Easily creating and routing email addresses with Cloudflare Email Routing
I used hanami.run and they support that. A catch-all then an explicitly deny rule to disable certain address.

Is it possible to setup email forwarding from a domain brought from Wix
Wix doesn't have built-in email forwarding but you can use any email forwarding service. Look into hanami.run and simply follow their onboarding process to add your MX record. https://hanami.run/docs/configure_dns#mx
What are some alternatives?
