I have my personal domain (let's say johndoe.com) and I have set it up so all (catch-all) emails go to one email. [email protected], [email protected]. Pretty easy.

I built https://statphone.com which is one emergency number that dials multiple people and shows up as itself on the caller ID so you know it's urgent.

You can use the same tech to build throwaway accounts like you are envisioning. Problem is that it would be prohibitively expensive.

I believe it supports carplay compatible apps.

According to Wired, “a handful of third-party media apps like Spotify are available, and developers can bring over existing CarPlay apps.”

In an utopian society, lawyers are an unnecessary profession. Laws should be clear and simple so the common person can be their own "lawyer". LLMs help with that goal.

I was a huge fan of Steve Schoger's YouTube Series - Refactoring UI. Taught me so much about design. Congrats on the exit. Hope it was good.

Bring back the series!

Maybe thoughts are just a chain of instructions in our head.

I’m working on ProofLeague, an app for keeping workout promises with friends:

https://proofleague.com (iOS, web app and android)

You create a private league, set a weekly goal (workout 3x a week), and tap Start when you begin a workout. Friends get notified and then have 30 minutes to ask for a selfie. If nobody asks, the workout counts automatically. There’s no public feed or strangers involved, just a small group keeping each other honest.

My friends and I had been doing a version of this via text message for years, but this app has been great. I am in 4 "leagues", all of them get notified at once and then I only share my selfie once and it automatically goes to any group that asks. It's motivating and hilarious to see people working out.

It's free and would love for you guys to try it and set up a league with friends or family. Please send me any feedback at [email protected]

It’s only been out for two weeks. You do get reminders that you are going to miss this weeks digest or that others have submitted etc. but your idea is great!

I’m also working on Dearest. https://dearest.co

Each week, everyone emails in a few photos and a sentence or two, and Dearest sends the group a private Sunday digest with everyone’s updates. The catch is, you only receive the digest if you contribute that week.

It is meant for families, old friends, grandparents, siblings, or any small group that wants to stay close without another app or endless notifications.

It’s my way to be social and know what’s going on in my friends lives without social media.

So far I only have my friends using it but I love it.

I’m working on https://creditcardchecklist.com It lets you keep track of your credit cards and which perks you have used and when the annual fee is going to hit. I often forget to use up the perk before it expires. You don’t even need an account buts you get notified if you make one. Also it’s free!

I also am working on https://trypixie.com - a way to employee your kids legally. It gets money into their Roth and saves you taxable income all while teaching them about working.

I thought the switch had a browser for a little bit. Am I mistaken?

I miss when social media was mostly about my friends’ lives. It actually helped us stay in touch.

So much of social media now feels built around whatever is trending that week, not the relationships you actually want to keep up with.

That’s why I’m building Dearest (https://dearest.co) : a private, email-based Sunday photo digest for families and friends. Everyone sends a photo and a short update by Saturday night, and contributors get the group’s digest on Sunday morning. Hopefully this keeps us social and in touch.
