Everyone shares their polished masterpieces, but we rarely talk about where we started.
This was my very first build for personal use: a daily student email summarizer sent directly to a Telegram bot.
I built it using Claude Code and Trigger.dev. It runs automatically every day, pulling my inbox data and sorting it into categories like "Attention," "Intern / Hackathon," and "Noise".
Itβs not the most complex system in the world, but it solves a real problem: making my life easier by entirely eliminating the need to manually check my emails every single day.
People usually only see someone's best project, never their first. Letβs change that.
