Hypothetically, if I had to violate someone's personal privacy like this, I think I'd be leaning toward doing it for someone I don't like. And even then, I would never.

#22This reminds me of how my father (a lawyer) sent fake subpoenas to invite people to his brother's bachelor party. Most found it hilarious but it freaked a few people out. I suspect that this would have the same problem.

#23It's a clever concept, but I'm leery of having someone send a letter on my behalf to someone. You all haven't trademarked the idea, have you? I think I'll just write a few of these up myself and send them out.
> I'm leery of having someone send a letter on my behalf to someone. Agreed. I don’t know what other junk mail will be included, nor how my recipient’s data will be used.
or... maybe this is just a fun side project they whipped up as a joke? Some side project for a resume?
Just look at OP's comment history, one example:
> I absolutely love making chrome extensions - my very first one was creating an extension for tinder.com that would swipe left on anyone with the first name Chad
All they require here is your name and email, and the recipient's name and address. Both are (probably) public somewhere and in combination are almost certainly still worthless (or certainly worth less than the postage they're giving to you for free)

How is this a violation of personal privacy? Sending mail? Submitting name & address to a business, a readily available datapoint for probably anybody?

Re: Send someone you appreciate an official 'Continue and Persist' Letter
#29Umm, proceed and persist sounds better imo.
Maybe, but ‘continue’ is a better negation of ‘cease’. Proceed can mean (usually means?) to do something one has not yet started, rather than to not cease.

Why not just make a pdf or a copy paste version? I get suspicious when extra work is done to make worse ux; my assumption is that it rarely happens without a hidden incentive.
