Developer turns repeated SaaS backend into BuildBase SDK

A developer (Dharmendra Jagodana) extracted the common backend components he rebuilt across five SaaS products into a single SDK called BuildBase. The SDK targets React and Next.js and bundles nineteen integrated modules (auth, billing, multi-tenancy, workflows, email, webhooks, etc.) that run five live products in production. Architecturally BuildBase uses MongoDB, Redis and Docker and makes a deliberate choice to give each organization a physically isolated database. The product supports bring-your-own-Stripe (no revenue share), three data/hosting modes (shared, dedicated, self-hosted using compiled Docker images), and per-app pricing. It is early-stage (0.x), not open source, and currently limited to React/Next.js.

Mailgun Python CLI for Transactional Email

A technical tutorial demonstrates how to build a small Python command-line app that sends transactional email via Mailgun's HTTP API and verifies delivery through Mailgun's Events API. The guide shows required setup (Mailgun account, API key, sandbox domain rules), how to store credentials in environment variables, and provides concrete code samples for sending messages (Messages API with HTTP Basic auth and form-encoded payload) and checking delivery status (filtering the Events API by message-id). The example app logs sent messages to a local JSON file so users can look up message IDs and refresh delivery status. A GitHub repository with the sample code is provided.

How to Use Disposable Email Safely

This guide explains safe, practical use of disposable (temporary) email addresses and recommends a three-tier approach: use real email accounts for critical services (banking, work, domain registrars), aliases for per-service permanent identities (SimpleLogin, Apple Hide My Email, ProtonPass), and disposable inboxes for one-off signups, downloads, and developer testing. It lists specific safety practices (save inbox URL, read messages before closing the tab, avoid reuse, treat OTP timing carefully, avoid pasting sensitive content, and note ToS/legal risks) and highlights YoBox Temp Mail as a developer-friendly disposable-mail tool offering fast addresses, OTP-friendly delivery, local address persistence, and a JSON API for automated testing. The article targets both everyday users and developers, showing when disposable mail helps and when it creates lockout or recovery risks.
