It sounds interesting and I like the idea. However, in your videos, you talk a lot about spam, but with gmail, I really don't have that much.

I could use the app when a site ask for my personnal email and I don't want to give it, but then, I already have "trashes" email serving that purpose.

As I said, I like the idea but I think it misses the killer feature which would really force me to use it.

Thanks for the feedback. Gmail is pretty awesome. I built the site after getting a lot of unsolicited emails from legitimate companies that I did not have any affiliation with, the only answer was that my address was sold/leaked. Working from this position it is difficult to calculate who sold your info, and to hold them responsible. I don't intend to replace google's auto spam filtering, just supplement it.

I also have a google "spam" account primarily to sign up for website offers, though i realized i've signed up for so many things with it, that I can't afford to close it now. Its either an all or nothing proposal. I wanted something in between.

I use it (almost) every day, but i also understand it is privacy-overkill for most people.

Thanks again for the feedback.
