Show HN: SimpleLogin – protect online privacy using email alias

simplelogin.io

Hi HN!

We believe having a different identity for each website/service is an effective way to protect our privacy and that's why SimpleLogin is created.

All components in SimpleLogin is open-source, including the server, website, browser extensions, and mobile apps. SimpleLogin can be self-hosted and supports security-oriented features like PGP, WebAuthn.

The server is a Python/Flask application backed by PostgreSQL as database and Postfix as email MTA. The web front-end is coded with VueJS and Bootstrap for styling. Mobile apps are coded in native.

We would love to hear your feedback. Thank you!

This looks really interesting. I’ve been doing this separate email for everything for over ten years now just using my own manual setup and I swear by it. Glad to see you have made this whole project open source. Good work and good luck.

smart business idea because this is inherently lock-in the second you create any alias

You can use your custom domain instead of the default domains.
