I'm Dante, maker of Hey.new
For a long time, I've always been annoyed at the spam emails I keep getting; it can get really ridiculous. "How How, Why, why, Omg, WT..., 🤦🏽". That's usually my expression with spam emails.
Have you ever wondered why some emails end up in your spam folder when they should be in your inbox, while others make it to your inbox but should be in spam? I've felt there should be a solution that bridges this gap, providing a more efficient way to manage your emails.
It's not about getting another email address for me personally because it will circle back to the same issues.
It's a missing layer on top of your email address.
So, over the weekend, we built a simple attempt to address this problem and help you prevent spam while still staying reachable. With over 500 users on the first day alone this has become one of my favorite tools to us.
