What Hacker News says?
I love https://resend.com/ as an example of a website that does a GREAT job explaining what they do. Lots of companies tell you that integrating their product is quick, but with their website I can look at it for 30 seconds and understand what the next steps would be.

HN discussionI hate it that some companies focus more now on how their product's website looks than on the product itself, its quality and stability. I also hate it that users are so used to having issues, errors, and their data leaked, that a startup can cut all the corners and do things completely the wrong way, and still have success. I hate that because I couldn't do it. Last month Resend leaked a database API key [0] from t…

HN discussion> Is it 4 auth related emails per hour by default? It's unlimited emails per hour, as long as you BYO SMTP provider. The default email service is only for testing, and not recommended for production. I usually recommen AWS SES or Resend[0] for unlimited emails > This isn't just a Supabase issue either. The entire auth industry is similar. Agreed - the industry prices on MAU, which isn't a great heuristic. for social…

HN discussion> Current implementations display a blue checkmark in addition to the logo. It's a bit different from what Gmail or Gravatar previously has done. Where that checkmark ends up is important. In the GMail screenshots I saw, it's with the other header information, which is ok. If anyone puts it on the logo as a badge, that'll be bad because we'll start seeing blue checkmark badges on non-VMC logos used for phishing. If…
