    Hi HN!

    We believe having a different identity for each website/service is an effective way to protect our privacy and that's why SimpleLogin is created.

    All components in SimpleLogin is open-source, including the server, website, browser extensions, and mobile apps. SimpleLogin can be self-hosted and supports security-oriented features like PGP, WebAuthn.

    The server is a Python/Flask application backed by PostgreSQL as database and Postfix as email MTA. The web front-end is coded with VueJS and Bootstrap for styling. Mobile apps are coded in native.

    We would love to hear your feedback. Thank you!

    smart business idea because this is inherently lock-in the second you create any alias
