What do you think? …

That seems nice! But why is it an iOS only app? It could be a website, or better yet a PWA. Since it lets you create an email alias, it should not be bound to an app in my opinion.

Glad you like the concept, @anna_0x ! One reason we started with iOS is so the user can resurface the email(s) on the go, like sales or loyalty coupons on a shopping trip. We’ll start pushing out more features related to this soon. Don’t worry, a web interface is next.

@sthoward super, please make it a PWA, then the users can still have offline access on Android :)

Read the Terms of Service before signing up for this one. What you're signing up for is not an email passthrough service, it's a data collection service that requires you to give them your purchase details. Pretty shitty bait and switch based on what the product shots show here.

@parterburn NAILED IT. This is not a 'free' product designed to improve your experience of email. It's a profit-driven app that collects useful (supposedly anonymized) sales data they sell to others.

@epic_science @tristanmace the terms of service on your website describe your company as a price protection service where users share their logins to different sites with you, competing with something like @appearny than anything else. None of that is described in the app screenshots or your replies, so my biggest flag for the Product Hunt community is to be careful as it's far from transparent what users are actually signing up for. To be clear, I have no issues with the business model, just the business practices. With Earny you know what you're signing up for without reading the legalese of a ToS, which is not the case with Margin.

So, from what I see, users sell their data to you in return for an alias and some filters? I see you let advertisers inject ads into existing emails and also brands know more about how the users are using their emails? How is this different to creating a separate email address on sth like gmail or yahoo?

Nice one. Let's fight email spam together 😉

@marky_nolan Yes! It’s not just “spam” though, it’s really about getting the emails you want when you want them. Fewer dopamine inducing email “dings” means more focus on what matters to you. Hope you check it out.

I love it!

Pros:

Margin cuts out the plethora of unwanted emails from Brands. I feel less overwhelmed when I start my day.

Cons:

Hummm can’t think of any yet.
