Show HN: Paced Email

Hello, I&#x27;m Rikki Pitt, the founder of Paced Email (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.paced.email" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.paced.email</a>).<p>Paced Email aims to help reduce distraction in your inbox. It batches up emails and newsletters into paced summaries, so you&#x27;re able to concentrate more effectively. Daily, weekly and monthly intervals are currently supported.<p>How it works:<p><pre><code> - Grab your username - Create programmable email aliases on the fly - Use your aliases on sites that send you emails too frequently </code></pre> At the end of each period, your real email address receives a single email containing all of the messages the alias received over that timeframe.<p>Examples:<p><pre><code> johndoe.shopify@daily.paced.email johndoe.stripe@weekly.paced.email johndoe.github@monthly.paced.email </code></pre> More ideas are on the roadmap and will feature in due course. Team support is also in the pipeline. For those that are interested in the inner workings, I&#x27;ve started a document about how I built it: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.paced.email&#x2F;docs&#x2F;how-it-works" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.paced.email&#x2F;docs&#x2F;how-it-works</a>.<p>The app is still in its infancy, but I&#x27;d love to hear your feedback or suggestions. Which services would you use your aliases on first?

Good and useful idea, so kudos. Still, I can&#x27;t help but feel that this is at the wrong level of the stack. Ideally, my email client should be doing this, and I shouldn&#x27;t need to have messages go through a middleman. Just a personal gripe and comment.

This is a very interesting idea, it blew my mind the timeframe subdomain.<p>I was about to ask about the technologies and I smiled when I saw that in the documentation. Great work and good luck!

This is genius ! Congratulations for the idea and the execution. It&#x27;s been a while since a tech product amazed me that much.
