The site doesn't load at all without JS. Maybe something simple in a tag would help accessibility for those of us who don't enable JS on every site by default?

Thanks for the feedback. Given that this is a Single Page Application built in React, what would you expect to see? Just some sort of messaging that says javascript is required? I have never considered/tried to handle this problem before so i dont know what is best.

Yep! That sort of message is common in react apps I’ve worked with before.

Many sites I've tried to register on have rejected my attempts to sign up using services similar to yours. Do you have any plans to address this issue somehow?

I dont know the challenges that others have faced but if i were to guess maybe certain websites begin blocking by domain name? It is hard to say, but its an interesting problem that i will have to address maybe as the product grows. At the moment I dont have an answer because it has yet to be a problem I have experienced personally.

Yes, I'm pretty sure it is by domain name.

One suggestion: custom domains for your users.

This could also help you "monetize", or at least help the service sustain itself.

Thank you for writing and sharing such a useful service.

People like you make the Internet better and offer hope for the future.

I launched Mailmask ( https://msk.sh ) recently, trying to solve the same problem. Welcome to the club!

> I built Mailmask in response to the frustrations of having to deal with spam, email addresses being sold to advertisers, and being unable to unsubscribe from or block certain senders.

Couldnt have said it better myself, its the exact same reason i built my own too.
