Show HN: Weekend project solving 333B emails issues

More than 333 billion emails are sent and received daily.

Your current inbox

45.6% are spam, with a carbon footprint of 0.03g of CO2e per spam email. Marketing emails constitute 36% of spam, adult content emails make up 31.7%, financial emails account for 26.5%, and scams represent 2.5%.

Alternative inbox with hi.new

hi.new takes that 45.6% spam away one at a time, starting with marketing emails that make up 36%. You choose who you want to contact you, which emails you want to get in your inbox, and what to reply to.

We built https://hi.new as a weekend project, but it has become so useful for spam protection. Would love your feedback

Hey Ehm short questions: didn’t .new have a requirement for the usage of the TLD?

e.g. example.new should forward to a website that allowed to create examples?

Fair question. The requirement is to create something new or content, and the first thing you do once you log in is exactly that. Doesn't take you anywhere else but to create.

As in: not that google decides to remove the domain, because you did not follow the requirements thing and only as “wasn’t there something” from my side.
