Ask HN: Would you use a .dev domain for a personal email address?

I've got a pretty good and short .dev domain and am considering making a new primary email address with it. However, I've previously seen email deliverability issues with a .life domain where emails sent from the domain would silently be ignored (not even sent to spam). I would definitely not want to get burned by that on a personal email. I also intend to create new website accounts so it would be critical that emails get delivered like normal.

Does anyone have experience using this domain for a personal email?

hello,

as alsways: imho. ...

i personally have a heavy preference for the "good old" TLDs ... a la .com/.net/.org & the ccTLDs.

in short: the ones before the "cambrian explosion" of TLDs ... where every crap suddenly moonlighted as a TLD ... *eye rolling*

but .dev is one of the better ones out of the huge number of new ones ;))

so: why not!? everybody likes to fight spamfilters ... :/

just my 0.02€

People won't remember .dev

If you want a catchy e-mail use .com which people will remember. The only caveat is finding a short .com (All the good ones are taken, although Derek Sivers wrote a program to hunt for short domains so you could go that route)
