> using an API like Mailgun to send the emails

Don't need that. You're already paying for (or self host) your primary email address right? That includes sending emails from that email address. Use those same login credentials to send emails to yourself, no need to contract a third party for sending a handful of emails per day, especially to yourself

Yep, might be a bit overkill, but as mentioned in other comments, this project was more for fun and learning, less for efficiency :)

I agree completely. As a Dutch myself: "overdaad schaadt", which also teaches some of our pragmatism. We tend to implement simple solutions. We have no time to waste when the water comes in.

Although, I appreciate the idea and wish luck with learning the language (as NT2 I assume). Questions welcome.
