🚀 Introducing DropMail — A Privacy-First Disposable Email Platform

Shahir Islam — Fri, 27 Mar 2026 00:33:29 +0000

I built a full-stack disposable email system from scratch — and it actually works in real-time.

Introducing DropMail

A temp email service that:

Requires zero sign-up
Receives real emails via a custom SMTP server
Pushes emails instantly using WebSockets (no polling)
Automatically deletes expired data

🧠 Stack & Highlights:

SMTP server (smtp-server + mailparser)
Node.js + Express API
MongoDB Atlas
Socket.io for real-time inbox Chrome + Firefox extensions (React + TypeScript)

If you’re into backend systems, real-time apps, or email infrastructure — this might interest you.

🚀 Introducing 𝗗𝗲𝘃𝗗𝗶𝗮𝗿𝘆: The Easiest Project Tracker, for Developers

Shahir Islam — Fri, 18 Jul 2025 23:52:25 +0000

Hey everyone!

Today, I am thrilled to share something I've been working on — DevDiary.

What is it?
As a developer, I always had a hard time keeping track of my projects, tasks, and ideas in one simple place. Most tools felt too complex. So, I built DevDiary — a clean tool to:

✅ Organize projects
✅ Track tasks
✅ Write down quick notes

✨ AI-Powered Notes
Got a Google Gemini API key? You can use AI to help write notes, summarize ideas, and boost your productivity.

🔒 Your Data, Your Privacy
All your data stays in your browser. 100% private.

Why try it?
Are you a programmer looking for a simple, lightweight means to be organized? Then try DevDiary. It's free and open source.

𝗢𝗻-𝗗𝗲𝘃𝗶𝗰𝗲 𝗔𝗜: 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗣𝗵𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗝𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗚𝗼𝘁 𝗮 𝗕𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝗨𝗽𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗱𝗲

Have you ever used Google Lens to translate a sign without an internet connection? Or have you tried Snapchat filters that work even in airplane mode? That’s Edge AI—artificial intelligence that operates directly on your phone, without needing the cloud.

𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗮𝗻𝘁?
☁️ Cloud AI: Sends data to servers (slow, requires internet, privacy concerns).
📱 Edge AI: Processes data locally (fast, private, works offline!).

𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗱𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗹𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝗶𝘁:

𝗦𝗽𝗲𝗲𝗱: No lag—AI responds instantly (hello, real-time AR filters!).
𝗣𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗮𝗰𝘆: Your data remains on your device (no worrying about “cloud leaks”).
𝗘𝗳𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝘆: Functions offline—ideal for travelers, commuters, or that one friend who’s always in a tunnel.

𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗹-𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱 𝗔𝗽𝗽𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀:
📸 Image Recognition: Google Photos can organize your pictures without Wi-Fi.
💬 Voice Assistants: “Hey Siri” works even in remote areas.
🎮 AR Games: Pokémon GO can track your movements offline.

𝗧𝗼𝗼𝗹𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗘𝘅𝗽𝗹𝗼𝗿𝗲:
TensorFlow Lite: Create custom AI models for mobile devices.
Core ML: Apple’s toolkit for seamless on-device AI.
MediaPipe: Develop AR/ML experiences with minimal coding.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗗𝗿𝗮𝘄𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸𝘀?
On-device AI isn’t without its challenges:
Battery drain (AI consumes power… and your phone’s battery).
Model size (limited storage on smaller devices).
Hardware limitations (not all devices are built the same).

𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗧𝘂𝗿𝗻:
Have you ever created an app using on-device AI? What was the most unusual challenge you encountered? (Mine: I once built a face-tracking AR filter—only to realize it struggled when someone wore sunglasses. Lesson learned: AI isn't always as smart as we think!)

Flask Starter Kit

Shahir Islam — Tue, 27 Dec 2022 23:04:32 +0000

Hey, everyone how are you? My apology for wishing you late Merry Christmas!

Remembers the time when you have to write same code over and over again whenever you start a new project? I know the pain mate!

I just publish a new GitHub repo on Flask starter kit with JWT authentication.

Just clone the repo and you are good to go. You don't have to install everything except python duh 😄

Let me know if you are having any issue with the repo. I'll fix it ASAP. Feel free to contribute. Don't forget to spread the love 🖤

Another unsuccessful day :(

I was working on a project it wants to play Audio from Youtube live-streaming, but it's not legal to do it on Android.
