@digitalbase SantaHunt (#5 last Thursday) was 20 lines of PHP code. You don't know anything about the world today if you think complexity measures a great product
@digitalbase I 100% agree. It was me who posted it in PH as I do in twitter or other social networks I was extremely surprised ... took 1 hour of actual work since I had the code almost done just a bit of refactor. Our other Open Source software which I have spent thousands of hours of work got only 10 votes! https://www.producthunt.com/@dea... and our SaaS which we have spent a loot of resources got 111 votes. I have here more than 193 votes right now. I do not understand the algorithm or why this happens, but is soul breaking :( I will do a post and explain this in my blog soon with stats thoughts etc.
@noxowe@digitalbase " if you think complexity measures a great product" agree, but all the guys on our office which work so hard everyday were really surprised about this and then disappointed...also we are checking what we did wrong back then.
@d3vtoolsmith@noxowe was thinking on a shared db of known spam emails. Similar to akismet....so an api to report spammy users and based on an algorythm mark the address as spam then. Also another with known bounce emails etc...lets see what I can build. Any suggestion apreciated. Thanks
@noxowe but if its a powned email address what do you suggest? I will still let him register, he can be a really normal customer. At least in my case I will like to have a list of known spammers and bounces. So if its an spammer and we are 100% sure block the access to him. in case its a bounce notify the customer that he may not receive the email.... anyway you should always have some sort of activation email to verify at least exists ;)
Hello!
I developed this API to validate emails specially to avoid fake registers and spam. You can use directly the API from the webservice http://garridodiaz.com/emailvali... or you can host it yourself since I have released the code ;)

Hope you find it useful ;)
@jacopodaeli can only be done if an email was sent before to them, there's no other way.... so an alliance with email providers + newsletter system to put a common shared DB could be the way....or asking for another way to verify your identity before login complex stuff. maybe something like https://onename.com
Hello!! please if anyone wants to help I got many ideas to improve this service and make it awesome, please read https://garridodiaz.com/i-was-hu...
Thanks a lot this was great ;)
