  • No misconceptions on my side.

    Your business is about three things:

    • convenience for the visitor
    • web sites being able to signal “we care about privacy”

    Both these things are what makes the hype around web privacy/anonymity.
    You pinky swear that you don’t sell or otherwise abuse personal data, but you still get class A data about which users visit and deeply interact with which site.
    Why should I lay all my eggs in one basket in the first place?
    Of course the same could be said about a secondary or tertiary email provider but then quite a few exist who are at least as trustworthy as your solution.

    I said your business is about three things; I think it’s easy to see that the first two lead to you growing your business.

    About your elaborate emoji- and buzzword-laden replies, let me reply with Shakespeare: “The lady doth protest too much, methinks”

    People have every right and reason to be extremely skeptical about offers like these.

    BTW I deleted one of my comments because I realized I was wrong. That seems to have rubbed you the wrong way?



  • Regarding those screenshots:

    But then visitors immediately have to create an account with pportal .io to actually get at the newsletter/sign-up/etc.?

    I had a quick look at your main page but it did not answer that question.

    I understand that a web dev who wants to offer this has to open an account or get an api key of they want to use your service.

    Also I could not find a link to the git repo.

    edit: according to OP’s answer it is as I thought. Yet another company that collects data both on sites and their visitors. Another iteration of the good old Free model a lá Google.

    edit2: my personal recommendation is still that people get themselves at least one extra email account with plus-addressing. From a trusted provider of course.
    edit3: an option for true aliases would of course be better
