PUFFIN DESIGN NOTES

Start with a little practice

Test a communication workflow while its effects remain visible inside your workspace.

Practice the full loop.

Puffin simulates email, SMS, and iMessage payloads. A message addressed to another active identity’s @puffin.test inbox is delivered within the same workspace. Other recipients produce a simulated send without internet delivery.

Make the unexpected ordinary.

Add incoming test messages to model a reply, an OTP, or a new instruction. Observe the inbox, read state, and events, then adjust your runtime’s behavior.

Connect services later.

Real delivery requires provider integrations and operational setup. The current frontend shows those boundaries explicitly so testing does not silently activate a paid service.
