10 years ago There are other ways we can notify people, too, like in-app lists of likes or in-app notifications. Email looks convenient for v1, and later on we can add other notification methods and allow users to opt-in or opt-out of email.
Emails should be placed an a queue somewhere, and sent when the system can get to them (so as not to block other operations by waiting on email to send).
Here's a module we can use to send these out. I like the idea of using gmail as the smtp server.
