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.

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?

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.

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.
