I only took a brief look, but I like the premise. The service seems far from something I would trust with handling my email. I still trust Fastmail (for reference). But I strongly …

Protonmail has also given in and paid out thousands* to criminals who DDoS their systems, no? *In my original post I mistakenly wrote "millions"

Thanks for sharing, this looks neat and useful! The pagemarks are an interesting concept. It would be cool if the top progress bar above the document showed, not cumulative progres…

Based on the phrasing of the title, I half expected the "wheel" to be that belonging to a Tesla that somehow managed to remain engaged on autopilot for a week... would have been im…

Fastmail has worked well for me with custom domains. It's nice being able to create custom aliases for when an address is publicly visible e.g. GitHub so I know through what funnel…

Yeah, the primary benefit I see is if one fully audits the code and any future updates. Otherwise, self-hosting doesn't confer much in the way of guarantees for security or privacy…

On what are you basing these expectations? Uploading means transmitting data to a third party. One could write a CLI that does just that. One could also write a web app where the p…

Why would you broadly assume an incorrect rule? Email address parsers correctly implement canonicalization rules that consider the domain e.g. gmail. It doesn't require any extra w…

The creator mentions in another post that the service does indeed upload the data to a server for processing. But, in general, it being a web app doesn't mean it uploads your data …

By canonicalization I'm not saying any arbitrary practice by Gmail or any other email provider should be considered as standard. I haven't looked at the RFC in some time, but I don…

The article shines light on three separate failures on Netflix's part: 1. Canonicalize email addresses Whether or not dots or +asdf is considered okay, an email address used for id…

Just curious, why would you want to self-host it?

Perfectly reasonable. I would then suggest changing it from "Contact Us" to "hello@hreftools.com" to prevent any confusion (Principle of Least Astonishment) :)

Looks neat! My one critique is the Contact Us link. I find unexpected mailto: links annoying because they cause my desktop mail client (which I don't use) to open unexpectedly when…

Thanks!

Thanks!
