What if js could handle sending email via Mailgun, Sendgrid etc.? Then it could be self-hosted (though you may not want it to be, of course).

- pixeltwenty 9y agoThanks for the ideas. One thing I have wrestled with in the past is how to prevent exposing the third party site email credentials (credentials the page would utilize for accessing Sendgrid, etc.) if the emailing code were hosted in the local and observable JavaScript. With the current server solution, at a minimum the browser and CORS enforcement take care of attempted cross domain access ... which is probably just slightly better than nothing at all.
- j_s 9y agoLet end users provide their own third party site email credentials.
- pixeltwenty 9y agoI like that idea. It could be an alternative, an additional option.
- randomString1 9y agoYou could use something that is not e-mail. From uploading the images to a shared/cloud folder and/or a messenging protocol to notify you.
