Resend reports reaching 3,000,000 users six months after reaching 1 million, while its team grew from 25 to 43 members and weekly npm downloads increased from 1.4M to 6.8M. The company says it has been profitable since last year without reducing cloud or Datadog spending or slowing hiring, treating profitability as flexibility for product decisions rather than the goal. Its support model gives AI agents the product’s tools for routine questions while keeping engineer support available when answers are not found. For developers and agents, Resend has made every page render as Markdown, expanded MCP coverage from about 8% to about 90%, shipped a 53-command CLI, and planned remote MCP and OAuth, while positioning Automations alongside sending, receiving, and broadcasting in one email platform.
Resend CLI 2.0
Resend CLI 2.0 gives terminal-based access to the full Resend API and adds four features: sending emails from local React (.tsx/.jsx) files, managing automations and events, one-command webhook listening with automatic tunneling, and Agent Skills for autonomous API interaction. Users can now create automation runs, inspect results, and build multi-step workflows directly from the command line. The webhook listener automatically sets up a tunnel and forwards all event types to a local server, eliminating the need for separate tunneling tools. Agent Skills provide a structured interface enabling AI agents to independently manage their own inbox, sign up for accounts, receive confirmation emails, process attachments, and respond without manual intervention. Other improvements include programmatic log retrieval, enhanced API key storage via the system keychain (macOS Keychain, Linux Secret Storage, Windows Credential Manager), and the deprecation of the team command in favor of auth.
Developer Talks: How the Command Line Can Empower You (Webinar)
On 27 November 2018, Eric Fung, a Senior Data Scientist, presented “How the Command Line Can Empower You,” a 45-minute talk followed by 15 minutes of questions and answers. The presentation addresses work that often happens outside an IDE, including interacting with APIs, creating screenshots, and massaging data, and shows how command-line tools can simplify, improve, or automate those tasks. Using real-world examples, Fung covers typing less in the terminal, searching files, manipulating images and JSON files, and generating code automatically without point-and-click interaction. The presentation focuses on software for macOS, while noting that Linux and Windows users can benefit because many mentioned tools are cross-platform; the presentation can be watched online and speaker notes can be downloaded.
