You can think about it like a smarter disposable email service that also generates a password for you (and with a better UI).
The cool thing is that unlike disposable email services, it also saves the login info for you for later use.
I made it as a fun side project to scratch my own itch - I like checking out new products, and I was ticked off that to even begin to try something out, you need to register for an account.
The problem I had with disposable email services was that you lost access to your account, and you couldn't keep track of all the different services you signed up for (without polluting your password manager).
Happy to answer questions, and looking forward to engaging with the HN community - I love this place!
Something I'm missing here?
I bet that the second email address you have can easily be tied to your identity. Same reason Apple Private Relay is useful.
Before I see value in a product, I may not want to give them my actual email address because I may just end up using it once.
I suppose it could be abused, but that's certainly not the intent.
The automation part is nice. I appreciate your work.
Also I am on the other card in this game. I am thinking about building an api to flag the disposable emails. The solutions out there are not convenient enough. Also in the paid solutions many slip through.
