I was just the other day looking for a tool to easily move a non-sensitive file from my macbook, to my network-locked production machine. Rather than doing many hops through SSH tunnels, the easiest thing to do would be to host the file online, and wget it down to my linux machine.
The options out there were lacking. I used https://bashupload.com/ for a bit, but the problem is that after you download the file once, it gets deleted. Sometimes I want to share the file to multiple machines.
Hey everyone, I and the team have been hard at work improving ImprovMX since the acquisition at the start of this year. It was slow going at first, with lots of tech debt getting in the way of safely making changes. But after an initial slog, feature velocity got significantly faster, so it was quite worth it.
We've simultaneously launched a bunch of new features that you can checkout in our blog post:
- email logs search by keyword/date
- access logs to audit who did what when with your account
- longer email log retention
- rules routing for custom routing logic
- AI support chat bot
Really curious to hear any feedback, or what we should be building next!
I did a cross-country account migration for ImprovMX in January 2025.
It was a total nightmare, and definitely the vast majority of the acquisition migration work.
We ended up with a scheme where each customer was migrated over, as a "trial" account until it converted over to a regular paid subscription on the next subscription renewal time.
I wonder how you guys handle that.
We did see some similar services out there, but we didn't deem them high quality and trustworthy. It's kind of hard to build a reputation around a service you only use once. If our acquisition broker had said "use stripemove.com, we've done it many times, they're great", we probably would have forked over the cash immediately.
Consider reaching out to saas acquisition brokers!
I'm new to entrepreneurship and just signed my first few corporate legal agreements. I was also deeply aware that anything agreed to was basically a gentleman's agreement--it wouldn't be worth either party going to litigation over, and even less so if the other party was internationally based.
So I've been following the "no-assholes" policy as well.
I did actually find nslookup.io while researching whether I should build this or not, and based some of my user interface choices off what I saw there.
I ultimately decided to make inspector.improvmx.com because I wanted something simpler.
A lot of our customers at improvmx are non-technical (yet still want to figure out how to setup their DNS entries themselves or with our help, and hopefully never touch it again). I think nslookup.io is more powerful and gives more information, but a lot of our customers would take one look at the site and immediately their eyes would glaze over from the technical overload.
So it's ultimately less about things you could add, but rather the simple lack of features is something I'm looking for, which is targeting a different use case.
Anyway, please let me know if you have any thoughts/suggestions for inspector.improvmx.com!

If they can fix tab complete, I'll give it another try!
