Idea: send important stuff to your own email. Do you do that?
Hello everyone 👋
I often send e-mails addressed to myself with important stuff for me - bills, some passwords or application IDs etz. I found it a bit annoying that I have to go to my email, address an email to myself and send it instead of just having simple chrome extension. Right now I am building chrome extension to solve that problem just for me - basic version with just 2 fields: title and body message . Then maybe would like to extend it by crypting content.
I am wondering if you also send e-mails to yourselves ? If yes, would you use that kind of solution?
Would love to hear any input/advice on that idea! Can't wait to see your answers ;)
There have been tools which alleviate this need for the last 20 years, wikis, online note apps, and now notion and others. If you email to yourself on 2021, you really haven't looked very hard at the software landscape.
I use Notion!
How many times in a week do you end up send email to your self ?
good question - well it is like 2/3 times a week.
Then I don't see any value in this. Repeating it 2/3 times a week is not that painful.
Also cycle time of one such activity is less than 2 minutes. Out of 80 working hr , the time and effort you save using the extension is negligible.
If I was in your situation, I would have not put any time and effort to solve this problem.
