Hi guys,<p>Long time reader, but first time poster on Hacker News, so please be gentle :-)<p>I&#x27;ve built this tool for myself a few months back and it has been so useful to me that I decided to turn it into a product. I would definitely pay for it, so naturally I&#x27;m wondering if others might too.<p>The idea is simple - everything in my life that happens every day&#x2F;week&#x2F;month&#x2F;etc and I can turn into an email, I do it. Meetings, follow-ups, catch-ups, weekly tasks, monthly reminders, etc. Usually I procrastinate this kind of stuff, but I discovered once I send an email to someone, that&#x27;s basically a promise, so I don&#x27;t back down. It&#x27;s replaced a lot of things I kept in Google Calendar, Asana and Todoist and kept postponing, and it makes me look like a productivity machine :-) I&#x27;ve also managed to turn 5-6 short meetings every week into status emails, so I personally save &gt;10 hours&#x2F;month thanks to my own service :-) Not bad, right?<p>I run an open-source project and a small web dev company, so the most helpful thing I use it for is to send an email to each client, every 6 months, to ask what&#x27;s up and &quot;_who do you know who can use my services?_&quot;. I knew I was supposed to do that, but I never did. Now I do do it, because it&#x27;s automated. And the first time the emails got sent, I got 2 new leads. So yeah :-)<p>Eager to see what you guys like, what you don&#x27;t, and what emails you decide to automate. Always looking to automate more of my professional life, so looking to you for inspiration.<p>Thanks, cheers!
