Earlier quoted context omitted.

I want to integrate email management and routing services as part of my client service package. My clients have a lot of hourly employees that they need to communicate with but for privacy reasons, they don't necessarily want to use a corporate or private email address. For example, a manager may want to use his private phone to send an email to a group of employees. Any replies would be routed to his secretary at th…

Very interesting, and probably not difficult for us to implement. Would you mind emailing me to discuss? I'm ian [at] 33mail [dot] com.

Will do.

The comments can be so funny on HN sometimes. You built something and committed to it for a decade. That’s so freaking cool! Take all feedback with a grain of salt. You’ve been around longer than most apps that launch on Show HN. Keep it up!

"For example, if the website is tribble.com, you might give themtribble@joesmith.33mail.com." This is in your home page, under "It's as simple as one, two, three!". Should there be a space between them, and tribble@joesmith.33mail.com?

Thanks, will be fixed soon.

Similarly, “...Sign up and pick a username, for example, "joesmith". Now, any email address ending with ...@joesmith.33mail.comwill…” After the email there should be a space, before "will.”

Please optimize your website for mobile use. I visited your main landing page on my phone and was not able to read anything but the larger headlines without zooming in. In my opinion this adds friction and increases bounce rate a lot. Depending on your traffic, it could be well worth it to add some CSS media queries to make this layout more responsive. I think plenty of people check websites out on mobile first, then come back later if the service is useful for them.

I'm not a user nor do I need it, but the pricing seems really silly. Your users who find value from it surely need it more than $1 or $5 a month. If it's only $1/mo in value to me, I wouldn't even bother to sign up. Better find out what people use this for and have a better sense of how much they'd pay.

Yes, agreed - making it mobile friendly is fairly high on the todo list.

I’ve always wanted to have something like that, with a browser plugin to easily generate one of the fly when I’m signing up for a service
