I am curious, what are the best Ads, and Ads Rewards platform for the web? Last time I dig into this I could not find anything on par with the offer for the mobile platforms.
ciaoben··on Apple Discontinues macOS Server
Hi! I work at https://www.qboxmail.com

We would love to be able to send push notification to native apple Mail app for our users but we never wrapped our head around the whole certificate thing. (And Apple was... unhelpful).

Would love to have support on this! Are you available? Let me know (nicolo.benigni@qboxmail.com)

ciaoben··on Ask HN: Best hosted alternative to Google Workspace for email?
Shameless plug: Qboxmail.com

We host everything in Europe and we are working hard to give all the tools necessary to work with emails. Both for resellers/companies and the end users.

About stock options, I don't want to make a chart of the best companies (who offer more, etc..), I am interested in becoming more aware of the salary situation in Europe, to understand how this profession is seen.

ciaoben··on Ask HN: How much do developers earn in Europe?
This is sad. I mean, I think that numbers that we see in Silicon Valley are ridiculous, but it seems to me that here in Europe this profession it is not recognized for the value it delivers.
ciaoben··on Desktop Neo – rethinking the desktop interface for productivity
Great concept. I found the idea pretty interesting, but not for desktop maybe. I see a lot of good ideas that tablet companies could 'steal' to finally level app the productivity on tablets. Maybe, even if this concept is 'Apple oriented', could be a good game changer for android tablets.
ciaoben··on Ask HN: How do develop a side project when you have a 40hr/week job?
this is probably the right question, I have just made a little calc, that if I dedicated 1 hour a day to my side project from the first day it came up on my mind I 'd have spent 400 hours on it, and it would be probably more than complete!
ciaoben··on Show HN: Intuitive nutrition information
Congrats. I love when someone build a clean, simple product that it works fast, and do its job!! Maybe a lot of web developer should learn from such simples, right to the point, products!

(Do you consider to open source it?)

ciaoben··on Dear Google Mail Team
lot of variables when it comes with spam detectio ... I guess google has oversimplified some controls, and lot of private server with good reputation are closed outside.

In our company , ( we are a hosting email solution ) lot of time and human resources are spent to monitor and work with the work produced by the spam filters. I guess it is too soon for this kind of solution to be sostituite with AI.

ciaoben··on JavaScript developers are incredible at problem solving, unfortunately
Just a little advice for newcomers ( like me ) that are scared but at the same time fascinated when it comes to use javascript. If you choose a framework to work with, stick to it for the entire project, and if you find an error that makes you struggle, don't immediately invent your own solution to patch it: for all the things that are said in this article, it always easy being attract to the fact that in every framework/code base you can put a simple piece of code that make things simpler for your and let you go ahead when you are stuck. But in my experience, most of the times, it only about being lazy and scared from and understood error. Behaving like this it let you behind, and don't make you improve your skills. And always break the entire logic of the tools you're using.

JS is a scripting language, so it easy 'script' your solution and postpone a problem. But it this way, you will never be able to improve, and your life with JS will remain frustrating and hard.

ciaoben··on Why does Gmail hate my domain?
It is a problem with the policies of your company. I don't know why they should have blacklisted our site, maybe they want to be sure that your email are managed by them :)

If you are curious, try to go on our italian website: qboxmail.it

ciaoben··on Why does Gmail hate my domain?
Thanks for the warn. We are going to verify it!
ciaoben··on Why does Gmail hate my domain?
thanks! fixed!
ciaoben··on Why does Gmail hate my domain?
You are right. In the end, it always a problem of volumes and proportion between spam emails, conversation, ecc..

If your numbers are low, so even small change can make a big difference

ciaoben··on Why does Gmail hate my domain?
exactly. That is spam detection programs work. If you re-train them, when they think that the volume of spam sent from that domain in acceptable and normal, they will let its email pass.
ciaoben··on Why does Gmail hate my domain?
You send emails that Gmail looks wrongly like spam. If everything is clean, it is reasonable to think that it is matter of little fixes, and to "help" Gmail to understand that domain doesn't send spam.

There is no way that this method would work id the domain it does actually send spam mails.

ciaoben··on Why does Gmail hate my domain?
Hi, I'm Nicolò and I work in the deliverability team of Qboxmail.com. We have run into similar problems in the past. The reason of the behavior of Gmail with your domain is not easy to understand, a theory could be that in the past someone has used it for sending spam, and even if it was not your server, you are paying for this.

The solution we have used, it was bring Gmail to understand that your emails have been sent from a real user. You can simulate a conversation between your domain and other Gmail accounts. Send a first email, with a realistic text, to a Gmail account, if it goes in spam, mark as safe (remove it from spam), and reply to it, always with a realistic text. Continue to simulate a normal conversation, sending 4/5 emails between the 2 account. Re-do the operation from another Gmail account, but this time do the opposite: start from the Gmail one.

It not bulletproof, but it has worked in the past for us.
