Oh boy, no.

I guess you don't maintain any foss projects. There are tons of slop PRs and issues that you have to fend off. It requires updating a lot of processes and contribution guidelines.

Yeah, I do find Writer and Draw to be very competent at what it does, haven't used the other aspects of the software suite though. Have them around in case of needing them!

You can. I encourage you to. The only reason it isn’t anonymized is that places tend to block anonymous email services, but it works really well with anonymous alias services.

When an SMTP connection comes in, you don’t know who it’s for (RCPT TO) until after the STARTTLS handshake, so you wouldn’t know whose phone to forward that traffic to. The only reliable way to do that would be a dedicated IP address for every user. Since SMTP is pretty much exclusively IPv4, that would be expensive. Not impossible, but expensive. If you’re doing it for only a handful of users, it could definitely work. Let me know if you do build it, because it sounds cool.

Also, thank you for the compliments. :)

Yes. :)

The entire website doesn’t work without JavaScript. It is super duper duper reliant on JavaScript and I don’t plan on changing that. The reason is that JavaScript lets you prevent cross site request forgery. Without it, I wouldn’t be able to tell if you actually made a request to send an email, delete an email, create an alias, etc, or if that request came from some website tricking you into clicking some malicious link/button. (To be more accurate, it is possible, but would be much harder and require managing a lot more state objects in the DB.) Also, without JS, you couldn’t have push notifications, and you’d have to refresh the page to see new email.

If you’re worried about trackers, there are none. The only things that are loaded from external domains are Google Fonts, Cloudflare Turnstile, and the Stripe payments script. The site would still work if you blocked all of those, except for the specific things they’re used for.

I just wanted to point that out because a lot of praise heaped upon them comes from the more zealoty side.

The document foundation compatibilty has been a disappointment for many years yet no work was done to fix it, now that AI can do part of their job they don't like it but when it can do more history says they'll adopt it in a hot minute
