Another creator here. We have no specific use cases, but the ideas floating around my head: 1) Leaking controversial conversations, whistleblowing, or simply sharing interesting emails. 2) Being one of the fastest ways to publish, could be a new blogging platform, especially for the older generation who is more comfortable with email. 3) Transparency for businesses/government through public archiving.

I would love to hear other ideas.

Hmmm if this is a goal you should support encryption.

Perhaps provide a public key and have an auto decryption mechanism with your private key.
