Show HN: Notification Control my weekend project - Email notification setup
- benjlang 15y agoBuilt this because I've found that email notifications have gotten out of hand. Even when I unsubscribe from some service, they still keep coming and then I have to login to that service and look around for the carefully hidden email notification settings. Made this so that in just a minute any person could easily set up email notifications from most of the important services out there. If people request more services, we'll certainly add them. Have you had similar issues? Hope this helps!
- dools 15y agoWow looks like a much nicer implementation of what I was setting out to do with emaildigest.me :)
- jmathai 15y agoNice and simple. Can't tell you how many times I just delete emails that I never wanted in the first place because I'm too lazy to change my notification settings. If you're logged into the service you're wanting to change then this makes it a breeze.
- benjlang 15y agoThanks Jaisen, glad to hear that.
- dwynings 15y agoConsider making an image sprite for all of the icons, so when I hover over one it's preloaded with no delay.
- benjlang 15y agoGood idea, will look into it. Appreciate the suggestion.
- whichdan 15y agoCool little site. Is there a reason the eBay link goes through bit.ly?
- benjlang 15y agoThanks! Good question, fixed, it's now a normal eBay link.
- PabloOsinaga 15y agoA nice add to the service would be the following: 1: let me choose my overall preference in a simple 3-levels way (alla investment management where you can choose "conservative, long term, aggresive" - something like that 2: Scan my email (automatically hook up alla greplin) 3: Suggest me changes to all services to meet my high level preference 4: Let me apply those changes by simply clicking "GO AHEAD" 5: (or I can go and edit the specifics and do a bulk update in that way) ability to scan my email/s and suggest me changes based on a super-simple "3 level" setting
- charliesome 15y agoThere's absolutely no way I'm letting any old service read my email messages.
- 1880 15y agoJust nitpicking here, but I noticed that a new HTTP request is done when hovering the links in order to download a different background, and that is not a good idea, because it will always flicker. Use one image with two states and modify the 'background-position' to "shift" the image.
- Veera 15y ago+1 instead of having separate image files for each logos, I would prefer two sprites(b/w & color) and apply CSS to reduce the number of HTTP requests.
