Show HN: I built a free alternative to FutureMe after greed ruined it

I use gmail for something similar. Sometimes it's a direct email to me (or someone else programmed to be send in the future). Sometimes is an email to my coworkers, but it has a few notes for me, so when we continue some project in the future it has a warning like:
fake quote> We careful with the matrix M because it looks like a 7x7 matrix, but it's actually a 14x14 matrix and that makes the program too slow.
because I made the mistake now and I don't want to repeat it in the future.

Great stuff, I like the idea! Haven't heard of FutureMe before.
What are you using for email? It seems like Sendgrid/Mailgun bill would ramp up quickly with a large userbase.

I'm using some other service, I use it for my other saas apps too, I'm not worried about the bill ramping up, it won't be that much plus I'm happy to fund it myself even if I don't get enough community contribution.
I'm glad you liked the idea, give it a try!

The good approach! appreciate it. Loved the UI and also the magic link login.
You’ve earned a user for FuturePost.
After being acquired, it they slapped it with a $9/year subscription or a $120 lifetime fee for storing text and sending an email? It's a total scam. As a founder who's built multiple companies from scratch, I know the real cost is pennies per user. This isn't innovation, it's lazy, soul-sucking greed turning our personal promises into a "luxury item." I'm gutted, offended, and pissed off. Hell no, I'm not accepting this.
So, I channeled that rage into building FuturePost.app, not some half-assed copy, but a superior, free-forever beast designed to outlast us all. It's my legacy: ultra-efficient, no ads, no data selling.
I'm using the old school tech stack - Ruby on Rails with Postgres hosted on Heroku that will outlive most of us.
It hurts to see a project soo good getting destroyed overnight, I've used it for everything, birthday wishes to my kid self, pep talks during tough times. Now it's "premium"? If you've ever felt that sting of a beloved free tool turning greedy, share your story. I promise FuturePost will stay here forever without looting you.
