  • No misconceptions on my side.

    Your business is about three things:

    • convenience for the visitor
    • web sites being able to signal “we care about privacy”

    Both these things are what makes the hype around web privacy/anonymity.
    You pinky swear that you don’t sell or otherwise abuse personal data, but you still get class A data about which users visit and deeply interact with which site.
    Why should I lay all my eggs in one basket in the first place?
    Of course the same could be said about a secondary or tertiary email provider but then quite a few exist who are at least as trustworthy as your solution.

    I said your business is about three things; I think it’s easy to see that the first two lead to you growing your business.

    About your elaborate emoji- and buzzword-laden replies, let me reply with Shakespeare: “The lady doth protest too much, methinks”

    People have every right and reason to be extremely skeptical about offers like these.

    BTW I deleted one of my comments because I realized I was wrong. That seems to have rubbed you the wrong way?



  • And in the same quote:

    we have been doing exactly what President Trump wants for a long time

    And I believe her.

    So how did CH get on that list?

    US trade delegate Jamieson Greer has called on American companies to report unfair trade practices by partner countries

    So some businessperson with a grievance decides what gets onto some government list? Truly an oligarchy.

    That said I’d like to know a bit more about the whole (yet another) international debacle.






  • Regarding those screenshots:

    But then visitors immediately have to create an account with pportal .io to actually get at the newsletter/sign-up/etc.?

    I had a quick look at your main page but it did not answer that question.

    I understand that a web dev who wants to offer this has to open an account or get an api key of they want to use your service.

    Also I could not find a link to the git repo.

    edit: according to OP’s answer it is as I thought. Yet another company that collects data both on sites and their visitors. Another iteration of the good old Free model a lá Google.

    edit2: my personal recommendation is still that people get themselves at least one extra email account with plus-addressing. From a trusted provider of course.
    edit3: an option for true aliases would of course be better
