Show HN: Temp.now – A free temporary disposable email generator
temp.now
Keep in mind, like other disposable email providers, you're going to need to add more domains if this becomes popular and gets blocked.
From my first attempt, the UX flow could be improved: after verifying captcha and clicking "Create new email", there was an error about the minimum number of characters (4) for the user name. This information could be included in the page description, instead of only in the error message.

I think a quick blurb about what this does, either above the form or in help, would be useful. It was not clear to me at all. I expected something related to weather based on the domain name. Had to visit the HN page to grok it. Otherwise this is a great idea, love the idea of using temp.now as a temporary email address.
