Good luck everyone! Email is a great platform to be creative on top of and Postmark is a great service.
@ben @jess, Postmark is not letting me open account without work email! Then how can I join the contest?
@shofol we have a workaround for this that we can help you get set up. Please check your email, thanks!
can you please include me as well, want to join this too :)
@shofol Postmark doesn't allow gmail or other public email domains to protect deliverability. You'll need to use your own domain to create an account. There's some cheap domains here: tld-list.com/
must have your own domain
So many opportunities here... can't wait to see the submissions!
I am excited to embark on this new challenge while exploring the potential of Postmark.
So postmark is like, postfix-as-a-service?
Please.. these challenges are too good... I can't ignore them 😭
WoooW this is perfect I was thinking to add something EXACTLY like this to my app from the previous challenge now I have the opportunity ----------
Excited to see what everyone comes up with for this one! Good luck to all the participants 🌟
this stuff always fires me up to build something, tbh - always more fun when there’s a prize too. you think it’s the rewards or just the challenge that gets people making cool stuff?
A little bit of both tbh
I agree with you!
Definitely the challenge, at least I would think. The reward is a nice bonus.
Can anyone please help me? I'm trying to sign up for Postmark, but it requires a work email. I don't have a work email. What do I do? Is signing up necessary for this challenge?
Hi @shravzzv, we have a workaround for this that we can help you get set up. Please check your email, thanks!
@jess Please include me as well. I also don't have access to a work email.
Hey @iabdsam, your DEV++ membership includes 1-year complimentary .tech and/or .fun domain. Once you have your own domain, you'll be able to set up email forwarding to your personal email and participate.
I got it. Thanks a lot @jess.
@jess can you send me the instructions for workaround?
I was wondering why my post wasn’t appearing under dev.to/t/postmarkchallenge.
It turns out there's a typo in the Postmark Challenge Submission Template — it uses #postmarkchallege instead of the correct tag #postmarkchallenge. I changed the tag on my post and now my submission appears on the postmarkchallenge page.
Thanks for the catch! We have updated the template and also aliased the previous typo so any submissions published under 'postmarkchallege' will now show up as postmarkchallenge.
Good catch!
Good eye!
Hi @thepracticaldev,
Could you please confirm which tag we should use for the Postmark Challenge submission? The Submission Template appears to have a typo with #postmarkchallege instead of the correct #postmarkchallenge.
Should we stick with the template as-is, or correct the tag before submitting?
Thanks in advance!
Hey @cloudcraftcurator, either of those tags will work!
@jess can you please help with setting up my account. My email is lorddro1532@gmail.com. Thanks
@dro1 just emailed you
Hey @jess ,
Thanks so much for providing me access to Dev++ for the challenge. I really appreciate your support!
Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to complete the challenge this time, so I won’t be needing the Dev++ membership anymore. When you have a moment, could you please revoke it?
Thanks again for your help!
@jess can you help with the email issue.
my email is lumumbaclement@gmail.com
@clemo97 just emailed you.
thanks Jess, I got it
Let's goooo🚀🚀💫💫
@jess can you also help me setup with my gmail id , since i dont have email with custom domain
@nitin_singh_9b913b4dbcd14 just emailed you
Hi, I cannot sign up, I don't have a domain or a work email. Kindly help us sign up @ben
@jess
Hey @abhishek_rawat_eac0b2262f, just emailed you back.
@jess @ben Kindly look into the postmark challenge # in the submission template. 'challenge' is misspelled there. This might result in submissions going to the wrong tag (already happening).
Thanks for the catch! We have updated the template and also aliased the previous typo so any submissions published under 'postmarkchallege' will now show up as postmarkchallenge.
Can anyone please help me too? I'm trying to sign up for Postmark, I don't have a work email. What do I do?
@rashmiranajn just emailed you.
Thanks @jess
This is such a cool challenge—email parsing is an underrated superpower in modern apps, and Postmark’s API makes it super accessible for devs. Excited to see the creative projects people build around inbox automation, notifications, or even custom workflows. Definitely a great opportunity to learn, experiment, and level up your portfolio
Who dont have a personal domain, Push any of your project you're working on right now to cloudflare pages and buy a domain for less than $2. You can use cloudflare pages forward email feature for free, thats what i did with my project videoframeextractor.online
Note: You can also use forward email feature from namecheap
Hi Team, I don't have a Work Email, how can I join the contest?
I created a post using the entry template but the post isn’t showing on the entries page, is that to be expected? Not entered one of these challenges before so not sure if the entries list is manually curated or not
@leesus is it showing up now?
Yes, there was a typo in one of the tags in the post template
Hi @jess could you please include my mail also?
Hi, I am getting an issue where my domain has been set properly but postmark keeps giving an error.
Hey guys I can't open without a work email.
Any workarounds??
I love this
