A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Summary

  • AnonAddy has rebranded as addy.io.
  • addy.io is a privacy-focused email service that allows you to create and manage email aliases. Aliases are temporary email addresses that forward to your real email address. This can be useful for protecting your privacy when signing up for websites or services that you don't trust.
  • The name change was motivated by a desire for a shorter, easier to understand and more recognizable name.
  • The service will remain exactly the same, but with more features.
  • There is a also a new logo.
  • The web application is now a SPA (single page application).
  • The API has also been updated.
  • There are a number of new features.
  • For most users, there is nothing they need to do.
  • All existing alias domains are staying the same. The new addy.io domain will be available to those on paid plans shortly.
  • If you use a hardware key for 2FA on your account, you will receive an email notification shortly with further information.

Nice, been using this service for a couple of years now and always thought the name was a little clunky.
