Hello HN community, my name is Hans, founder of Hello Inbox.

Hello Inbox is a web app with 9 tools built around an AI assistant I trained on hundreds of real deliverability use cases (think GlockApps or Folderly combined with a Top-Rated email deliverability expert at your fingertips).

It contains my entire knowledge base and everything I learned in 4 years of deliverability audits and consultations, distilled into one platform anyone can use, without needing to pay for an expensive consultant or audit.

There's a lot of smart people on this platform so I'm looking for constructive feedback.

How's our positioning, pricing, is this a tool you would use for your business?

Even if you don't like it, be brutally honest and specific.

If you have any questions, I'll be here for the next 6 hours.

Ask me anything.

My clients don't send spam. They are legitimate businesses sending product updates, nurture sequences, promotions, information, transactional messages, etc. The idea that emails are "spam" simply because they land in the spam folder is incorrect.

ok, try now. You should be able to access it. LMK if not.

If you’re curious what this means for your business, i’ll be here for the next 6 hours answering questions. AMA.

Yep, if AI gutters the middleclass and small budinesses who you gonna sell to?

Been thinking the same lately…

Most humans derive their purpose and meaning from their work. Has always been that way. What do you think happens when you remove meaning from people’s lives at scale? It won’t be pretty.

Damn. And this completely bypasses any anti-spoofing protection.

Did not know that about DNSSEC, have you seen it directly impact sender/domain reputation?

Yes I'm aware lol, the page has so much info it's a pain in the ass to optimize it all for mobile, but yes I need to address that at some point. Thanks for the reminder. Will get to it soon.

Love this idea!

Yes this is also very annoying.

Complete agree with you, I also don't like it when the unsubscribe text is smaller than the rest of the text, subscribers that never open your emails end up hurting your engagement over time and in turn your deliverability, better just make it easy for people who are no longer interested to unsubscribe.

You're welcome!

You're welcome, glad you find it helpful :)

Yes it can hurt reputation and torpedo open rates if a sender receives consistent spam complaints over a sustained period of time. I’ve seen it happen in real time with a client who claimed their leads were warm/opt-in when in fact they were not all. Open rates went from 38-40% to under 7% within a few hours. So the spam button is effective, that’s why it’s important to only email warm/opt-in contacts for bulk email, send engaging content and make it easy to unsubscribe.

You’re welcome :) glad it’s helpful. LMK if you think I should add or change something. I’m always open to improving it.

Most of my customers work really hard and spend a lot of time and money to acquire opt-in leads only to see their efforts go to waste. There are many legitimate reasons for making sure an email makes it to the inbox. Without even mentioning transactional emails. Not sure where you got the idea that I’m providing "tips for disguising your unsolicited commercial email as legitimate communication so you can succeed in shoving it into people's inboxes".

Good point, will add that. Thx for suggestion.

It helps you find the cheapest one way flights to any destination by searching by departure date range and by airport, city, country or region. It will then show you the cheapest flights first in list format. Then you can filter according to your needs. So it makes it super easy and quick to find the cheapest dates and routes to fly. And was made for digital nomads and remote workers or anyone with flexible departure dates.

I'm going to add the option to check with a different selector.

Done. Thank you.

got it, ok.

I want to clarify that my checklist doesn't advocate for people to purchase lists. If someone is located in a jurisdiction that permits sending of unsolicited commercial mail, and they purchased a list then they should validate it. Validating also applies to contacts acquired through a single-opt in form (with a consent check) as some users will enter fake email address in order to download an ebook or free product. Though you can always send the download link in the email which forces people to use legitimate email address. But your point is well made, I should add a disclaimer, that users should comply with their countries laws and regulations when sending promotional email.

yeah you're right. I need to make it more clear. Going to work on that, thanks for the kind feedback :)

Nice! thx for the kind feedback and glad you like it :)

I haven't tried out hey.com yet. Does it mean I have to fill out some form or captcha in order to send someone an email? Or they would need to "approve" me first?

very good point.

Hmm strange, my server is getting pummeled today with all the traffic from HN so it could or just been temporarily down but I just tried it myself right now and I am getting results for SEA -> Vietnam starting at US$29 from DLI to SGN. Give it another try and let me know if it doesn't work.

Glad you like it :) LMK if there's anything you think I should add or fix. Your feedback is valuable.
