> I built Mailmask in response to the frustrations of having to deal with spam, email addresses being sold to advertisers, and being unable to unsubscribe from or block certain senders.
Couldnt have said it better myself, its the exact same reason i built my own too.
I haven't seen those before but scanning over the home pages of both it seems like we all offer very similar services. SimpleLogin seems legit and looks like they offer a ton of cool features. It seems like something that I would aspire this project to become
I dont know the challenges that others have faced but if i were to guess maybe certain websites begin blocking by domain name? It is hard to say, but its an interesting problem that i will have to address maybe as the product grows. At the moment I dont have an answer because it has yet to be a problem I have experienced personally.
Thanks for the feedback. Given that this is a Single Page Application built in React, what would you expect to see? Just some sort of messaging that says javascript is required? I have never considered/tried to handle this problem before so i dont know what is best.
I didnt build this as a means to make money, it was more of a project to prove that i can. It is built using AWS' free tier services. Its my dream to keep this up while having it cost me as little as possible.
Yea youre right - i still have a few unanswered questions about how to keep the application affordable with the way that it was built at a large scale. If those are your concerns it seems like you have more faith than I do that it could take off
