Same. I've done this for years with my crappy namecheap web host email. Works great. Pro tip. Just setup a subdomain on a domain you already own. This makes filtering even easier.

Love this. Simple idea. Nice execution.

Firefox forever! On all the things! You can take it from my cold dead hands. Thank you Mozilla, for making the web a better place for humans.

Love this. Maybe consider a backend of remotestorage.io

Another +1 for paseo. I've been dabbling with all these tools and I love how they are progressing. But im constantly patching and filing issues on them. Only paseo and openchamber handle mobile terminal scolling well. Paseo has been the most feature complete one with claude and open code support with a top notch mobile experience.

I have never had to do this in my years of using this scheme. And if I did, I would create an email filter. Which I consider to be more standard and scalable then managing a bunch of individual aliases.

Yeah, I think I only record maybe 10% of them that actually have logins associated. For the others I just search through my email.

Just happened to me today! I was at the Verizon store and my address was verizon@... Sometimes it leads to confusion, but sometimes it leads to getting extra special treatment actually! They think I'm someone important.

I have run this for years with very little problems. And I can honestly say that have not found anyone writing to addresses I did not give them at their domain. Simple as this is, it is way to niche for companies to figure it out and exploit it. And if that really was a problem I'd just create a new subdomain.

If you are worried about privacy, get a domain just for this. Use domain privacy and dont host other things there.

Yes, some sites whitelist domains or dont allow subdomains. For those I'll use another account - or a firefox alias or something. But 9 out of 10 work fine.

I am not a fan of alias services since materializing names takes discipline. How many do you make? Maybe there is a limit of 50. When do you share them across services? My guess is many people just create 2 or 3 aliases they use for everything - which defeats the purpose. Sure, it masks your personal address, but once one gets compromised, you find it basically served as your personal address anyway.

I also dont really keep track of most of the names I use. Since most are one time things that I would never use again, like to sign a waiver or something. But I mostly stick to '{domain}@' for the names. So my nytimes account would just be nytimes@, which is predictable when I need to recover it. I used to use addy.io for this, but it was not as good since it had account limits and I had to manually manage every alias. Much easier for me to just create a mail filter to sinkhole an old name. Of course I have never really needed to do this anyway.

Pro tip for doing something like this without apple. Buy or get a cheap domain name. Create a subdomain on it and have it catch and forward all messages to you when sent to that sub. For example:

[email protected] -> jono@gmail

[email protected] -> jono@gmail

You dont even need to materialize aliases at all.

This is neat. I dont get how sync works. Is it server side? Or is there some client side oauth flow? I dont see it.

Looking forward to use all these nice AI features without using the warp account/service. So I can bring my own claude and it will show all the agent panes etc.
