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'm Dante, maker of Hi.new
For a long time, I've always been annoyed at the spam emails I keep getting; it can get really ridiculous. "How How, Why, why, Omg, WT..., 🤦🏽". That's usually my expression with spam emails.
Have you ever wondered why some emails end up in your spam folder when they should be in your inbox, while others make it to your inbox but should be in spam? I've felt there should be a solution that bridges this gap, providing a more efficient way to manage your emails.
It's not about getting another email address for me personally because it will circle back to the same issues.
It's a missing layer on top of your email address.
So, over the weekend, we built a simple attempt to address this problem and help you prevent spam while still staying reachable. With over 500 users on the first day alone this has become one of my favorite tools to us.
Firstly congratulations on the launch of @hey.new as SPAM is such an underrerated area.
I have two queries.
Q1. How much chance is there that I get a very important email (first timer) spammed due to this guard ?
Q2. Are there customizable filters in this SPAM Gaurd ?
Congrats on the launch! I'd have used it if the mail address was an actual mail address instead of a URL. Cos most forms have regex to validate email and fail for URLs.
Yo, I was wondering what are the privacy issues of such application. Does hey.new has access to all the content from emails sent over it? Where are these data saved?
Don't want to be the bitchy person, but it does look like a contact form where some of my messages are filtered by some reading agent.
@nickolaslago The data is encrypted end to end, so we only store references for it. We use an already trained classification model to know what is what, so the user's data is never used.
We've built some great security tools on the market so we do best practices to know how to properly protect users. When we need your permission for things we consider PII, we prompt you and it's totally opt in.
This sounds like a neat solution to cut down on spam—definitely a problem I've been looking to solve! I'm always cautious about sharing my email, so this could be a game changer.
Can i use its own filtering system, or does it integrate with existing email filters? Upvoted because I think more people should check this out, especially if they're worried about their inbox security.
I've heard of Hey.New, not sure where though but a great way of ensuring you get relevant people to access you and not expose your email to spammers, a probtinhave encountered severally. Congratulations 🎉🎉
Hi, the idea is amazing, congratulations on the launch! I just wanted to clarify how it works. So I need to send this link, as I send my email, right? Also, is it possible to attach files?
@boris_moris44 Yes, you can use this in place of your email for most things. Soon, we will introduce proxies, and you can use that as well.
Attach is something we have in the pipeline
