CustomFrom is a browser extension that restores the ability to send emails from a custom domain within Gmail after Google removed the 'Send as' feature. It works by directly calling email provider APIs (Resend, SES, Postmark, Mailgun) from the browser, avoiding third-party servers and keeping API keys local. The project targets individuals and small businesses who want professional email without Google Workspace, filling a niche gap left by Google's policy change.
Target audience: individuals and small businesses using Gmail with custom domains, developers managing email infrastructure
