Is there room for an AI-powered webmail service built on a single-letter domain?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49345378Hi HN, I’m a solo, non-technical founder working on W, an AI-powered webmail service built on a premium single-letter domain (https://w.xyz).I secured the domain and used AI agents to build out a functional proof-of-concept for the client. To handle infrastructure, I routed the application logic through Mailgun. Internally, the prototype is fully operational — emails successfully send and receive from @w.xyz handles. W combines a highly optimized interface with built-in AI capabilities like Spam Scanning, Smart Reply and Text Summaries.I currently have a 30+ organic waitlist as I finish the final touches and prepare to move away from the prototype stack.My questions for the community:Concept Validation: Given how crowded the email space is, do you see a viable market for an AI-native premium webmail service, or do you believe the switching cost from Gmail/Outlook too high for users?Scaling Roadmap: As a non-technical founder moving away from an AI-generated prototype stack, what are th

Red Sox make strikeout history (the good kind)https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/red-sox-strikeout-history-good-133000548.htmlStrikeouts are fascist.* The Red Sox, ergo, stand for democracy and classically liberal values, because last night they did this: In baseball terms, 1949 was a looooooong time ago. Players still left their gloves on the field, for chrissakes! Like a lot of baseball fans (maybe?) I’ve long wondered what it would be like to […]

Show HN: Stunt – a stunt double for the APIs you integrate (95 adapters)https://github.com/stuntapi/stuntHi, I'm the author. Quick tour before the comments do it for me.StuntAPI, `stunt` for CLI friends, runs local, stateful stand-ins for the public APIs your code talks to. `brew install --cask stuntapi/tap/stunt`, then `stunt demo` — you get a Stripe-style sim on a local port, and the curl it prints actually means it:create a charge, list it back (the charge is there — state persists across requests and restarts), capture it, and watch the signed webhook fire at a local sink. All synthetic, all offline, no Stripe account.Why I built it: I've spent twenty-odd years integrating other people's APIs — commodities trading and market data in London, fintech, payments, blockchain RPC infra — and the test story never got better. Sandbox accounts, live secrets in CI, rate limits, flaky suites because the mock didn't behave like the real thing. WireMock/Prism/MSW are great at static and schema-shaped mocks; what I always wanted was a runnable stand-in — create, list, mutate, webhooks, auth expiry,
