hi.new — Prevent spam, stay reachable
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”

@sentry_co You will be able to do way more in the coming day. Test it out and see just how awesome it is already
Congrats on the launch @dantelex and great to see the traction you are getting! I created my account, simple jim was still available too :) Bit lost what to do from there, maybe create on onboarding (e.g. go here to modify your Linkedin, etc.). Looking forward to using it more. Jim
@jimhershko We are looking into 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
@tu_han_hsing If you signed up. Share your username and i'll invite you to community to discuss a bit more
Congratulations on the launch of hey.new, Dante and Mahmoud! I love the concept of adding a layer to email communication to prevent spam while still staying reachable. It's such a relevant and valuable solution in today's digital world.
I'm curious, how did you come up with the idea for hey.new? Was there a specific moment or experience that inspired you to create this tool?
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.
Interesting idea! Have you reinvented the contact form as a means to reduce spam, or am I missing something?
@to_p @joeyjooste This doesn't go to your inbox if you don't want it to ☺️ and can be used for several things. Also you can automate to be paid to contact you and more
interesting idea, though I couldn't understand much from the website ... the main question is, are you reading/crawling the emails?
