My Outlook app kept getting closed by android and I kept missing emails. So I created a disposable etlgr email to get bank notifications. Created a rule in Outlook.com to send balance notifications anytime money enters or leaves my account.
Also a few times when discussing with clients, sent the email title to the bot.
A few months back, there was one "a page a day" book reading service that came on hacker news. Created an email just for it.
Another to receive manga notifications.
Etlgr recently became a subscription service and that was the end.
MY OTHER USES FOR TELEGRAM
RSS feed reader for sites. Also created a private channel for my friends that posts 100% free udemy courses. It's been completely hands off for over a year now.
Why Telegram Rocks
My telegram account is accessible from 4 different devices - Two phones and two laptops (6 client apps).
Could switch off the phone with the number registered to telegram and I'll still be able to chat. With WhatsApp this is impossible.
I could lose my sim card, both phones and one laptop. But if I still have access to one client, I can login on fresh devices.
This is because once you're registered, telegram sends the OTP to the installed clients instead of SMS.
One awesome stuff they do is that after a successful logon on a new device, the notification is broadcast to all logged in client apps. Deleting the notification in one device will not remove it in others.
Making it harder for account takeovers to happen stealthily.
Also newly logged in clients cannot terminate older sessions.
CHATTING
The ability to edit already sent text in telegram is awesome. Make a mistake? Correct it.
Telegram does not leave a "deleted" stamp when you delete a message unlike WhatsApp.
In telegram you can delete everything in your chats from the other person's device.
WhatsApp allows you to delete your chats from the other person's phone. Telegram tops that by allowing you to delete the other person's words from their own phone!
Without this, quoted chats will have empty placeholders alerting the other party.
FILE SIZE Limit
