BONUS: I set up a meme e-mail service
🕑 Added 2023-11-19 10:39:21 +0000 UTCSome of you may know I'm the owner of some meme domains such as billgates.sex (SFW) and doinyour.mom (kind of NSFW?), and ever since I bought them on my live stream, people have demanded I set up an e-mail server so they can create novelty e-mail accounts - which I was obviously all too happy to do.
However, there are some concerns with running a public e-mail service - namely that e-mail can very easily be used by bad actors for spam. The last thing I would want is for Gmail or whoever to block my domains outright because they're being abused by a small minority of users. So to help prevent this, I figured the easiest thing to do would be to only open sign-ups to Patrons like you! (and Twitch subscribers)
If you're a Patron here already, you're all set to go! Head over to mail.mattkc.com and you can go ahead and make your account(s) (one per domain per user). The home and sign-up pages (which I also wrote on stream) are designed in a way that might be familiar to you...
Note: you will not need to remain a Patron indefinitely to keep your e-mail. You will only need it for sign-up, after which the e-mail will be valid until further notice.
I'll probably add more domains over time (the new .ing TLD should have a lot of opportunities), so be sure to check back in the future for further announcements like this.
Have fun!

For me too, I kinda just gave up

It's still broken!

I tried both FireFox and Chrome, and the console was empty on both - I'm heading out now but I'll look into it a bit more when I get back

If you don't see a "Logged in with Patreon" message at the bottom afterwards, there's been a problem of some kind. I'm not sure what it would be because it appears to work for me and others who have tried it. Try checking the console for messages, or perhaps try a different browser or clearing certain cookies.

I can't sign up with Patreon. Went to sign up, entered the account and password I wanted, pressed "Login with Patreon", logged in (which closed the Patreon tab it opened), pressed "OK" and get a "You must authenticate with one of the methods at the bottom of the dialog." error

Also, what are the limits of the mail accounts (file size etc.)?

That's great! I wasn't around in the 90s, but seeing the window look so realistic (and also move) was a trip! I think you accomplished what you set out to do.

Completely manually! There were some off-the-shelf components that I could have used, but I figured it would be more fun to see for myself and recreate how this old UI worked.

Love the Win98 UI of the website. How did you accomplish it? Some kind of web framework or did you do it manually?
