       build on the user-owned web: ship powerful apps with our new database that gives users control of their data

       16
       +
       User-owned data stores are a new paradigm for user-data storage. Instead of storing your users' data to a central database for each of your applications, you can directly read / write to your users' data stores.

     

       17
       +
       

     

       18
       +
       These will contain all of a user's data from across all their Basic apps. Your users will provision access of their data to your apps.

       23
       +
       

     

       24
       +
       Basic.ID is the easiest way for your users to create their data stores. They will use Basic.ID to sign in to your apps, and manage their account and app permissions.

     

       25
       +
       

     

       26
       +
       Basic.ID is also how your users can access their data interoperably and run analytics on their data, or pair it with personal AI agents.

       32
       +
       Users can self-host their data stores or host with any other provider. This gives them the flexibility of cost, security and privacy for their personal and business needs.

       10
       +
       The key part of this is that you need to add your routed email address as a new account in gmail, uncheck "treat as an alias", and then use a Gmail app password in the "send as" details for SMTP.

     

       11
       +
       

     

       12

       13
       +
       

     

       14
       +
       Finally, you need to modify the SPF record to include Google:

     

       15
       +
       

     

       16
       +
       ```

     

       17
       +
       v=spf1 include:_spf.mx.cloudflare.net include:_spf.google.com ~all

     

       18
       +
       ```

     

       19
       +
       

     

       20
       +
       And set a DMARC record:

     

       21
       +
       

     

       22
       +
       ```

     

       23
       +
       v=DMARC1; p=none; rua=mailto:<your-email-to-report>

     

       24
       +
       ```

     

       25
       +
