This is a great idea and I absolutely love it.

The only thing I don't like is the branding. It seems to have some political undertones to it.

I think combining this with a product like crypt pad is a great start towards creating a more independent Google workspace competitor.

(and I'm flagged lol, way to prove my point)

Earlier quoted context omitted.

A lot of services don't let you change your email address. Could cause some pain if this service doesn't exist in 20 years.

Interesting. Can you name an example of a service that doesn't permit an email change?

Methinks a service that hasn't had a codebase update in 20 years.

That's great until they get bored of running the service and you've now lost all of the aforementioned which are dependent on their domain.

Seems like a bit of fun. I've definitely thought even less about something before parting with $20 on it /shrug

It is not the $20 that is a the main problem. Backlinks to your profile and contacts with that email address for example.

Where do you pick up political undertones? I'm genuinely curious. I read the whole landing page and it is all lighthearted and friendly, and I pick up on nothing that makes me think otherwise.
