Ask HN: Create an app that sends an email with some text
2 by thr0waway1 | 4 comments on Hacker News.
Hi, I want to create an app that runs on a batch job. Say at 4am every morning, this app should start. It should take a snippet from a database/data store and email it to a set of people in a list/DB. I am a technical non-programming PM. So I understand technology but its been many years since I actually coded something. I dont want to integrate with Twilio or something for an enterprise grade feature. This is just to create a quick POC to evaluate product/market fit. Like I said above, its been a while, and I would like to do this myself. Any guidance on where I could start? Is the O-1 model good enough now where it can create this entire app for me, and deploy it? :) Looking for tips that are not, simply said, too hard.
