hi.new let's you secure your email address by adding a layer through which people can easily communicate with you to prevent annoying spam emails. Instead of saying “email me at mailto:xxx@yyy.com”. You can just say “email me here: https://hi.new/yyy

I am confused about how this is any different than using a contact form? Like I can just say “email me here: https://mywebsite/contact” instead of “email me here: https://hey.new/yyy

@rabii_bouhestine, think of if your email was a contact form with an easy link to share with all sorts of superpowers to really control who messages you. You'd be way less worried about spam or your real email getting leaked.

First of all, the behavior of converting emails into link addresses is really cool. I hope to customize my email links to make them look like they represent me. Secondly, protecting personal privacy is very important. Many junk emails make me very annoyed. I hope to be compatible with various account registration processes in the future, and I hope to use my email links on major platforms.

@leepe Yes that's the idea. We would reach out with all users with more updates and invites to collaborate closely with us.

I like the simplicity of the interface - beautifully done. :) My question is - what about the use cases that sit in between a big email list and a personal email? So if I wanted to email all my investors, for example, would it be a lot more annoying to have a different workflow to email you due to the friction put in place?

@siran_jiang We are considering this. We invite all users to collaborate closely with us in the coming days. Would love you hear more

Maybe implement a feature to verify the sender's email address? Without such a verification, it could be easy for someone to impersonate others and send deceptive messages. Moreover, the current design might not effectively prevent common issues like Nigerian spam or more advanced BEC emails, which could pose a significant security risk
