Good morning ☕️
I started to work on an email alias service powered by nostr.
I stucked a bit, because I started to try to solve all privacy problems I see.
But if I can find 1 thing in which I can make this better then other alias services on market, it worth already to roll it out. Also users shall think the same.
What is the benefit of it over e.g.: SimpleLogin?
1️⃣ You don't need an email address to use it.
2️⃣ Service does not know which alias belongs to whom.
3️⃣ Easier to send email from alias.
4️⃣ Emails are stored on user defined servers (relays)
(5️⃣ Uses nostr as login)
Common features
1️⃣ Emails are stored encrypted.
2️⃣ Senders won't know your identity.
3️⃣ Open-source/self-hostable
The feature I want, that seems pretty hard to achieve is, that the service has no access to the content of your emails.
