I‘m a self-employed software engineer, mainly in the #Nodejs & #TypeScript world. Right now, I‘m building dmarced, an email monitoring SaaS working with #dns #aws #serverless. Follow me, if you want to hear from #dev topics like these ✨
Inspired by a #NordicJS talk on #Passkeys, I started implementing them for my passwordless SaaS.

While working through the database schema and complex server logic, I noticed that key parts of the login flow are still under debate.

Yes, #serverless still runs on servers.
The difference? They’re not mine to worry about.

7,500 women helped end WWII at Bletchley Park. Pamela Downing was one of them. I wanted her name on the wall.

Sequential IDs are faster. UUIDs are safer.
I wanted both speed and security, so I picked both.

After a year of building my SaaS, I finally integrated Stripe for self-service subscriptions.

I almost overengineered billing before ever charging anyone.

My SaaS frontend, built on Next.js, never gets to see a session token.

No shared cookies, headers, or credentials.
Just a clean API boundary — on purpose.

IP addresses are not for humans.

But DMARC reports are full of them, leaving users staring at logs instead of insights.

So I enrich them with metadata like country and network owner (ASN) from IPinfo's free dataset, without compromising privacy.

Most of my incoming email traffic hits all at once: around midnight and noon. I needed a system that could absorb the spikes and survive broken code when I ship it.

Here’s the architecture I landed on.

Just shipped a tiny feature that made a huge difference: sparklines.

These tiny charts now show trends in email volume inside each table cell: spikes, drops, and suspicious patterns.

At a glance, they say more than words and numbers ever could.

So, I recently talked to a journalist about Stumbleupon and Cloudhiker. The interview is now part of an article on the BBC Website! 🤯🤩

'There was almost a utopian feeling to it': How StumbleUpon pioneered the way we use the internet
StumbleUpon, a tool that led users to random websites, had a stranglehold on millennials in the 2010s. Its influence echoes through everything we do online.

In today's dmarced refactor, I moved all messages to a separate #Monorepo package called "intl". It relies on Format.js while email rendering depends on react-email and react-intl. It's amazing that I can hand over i18n logic from non-React library code to TSX. #React #TypeScript #BuildInPublic
