Like every last time it was posted. It’s not suitable for anything other than your hobby email domain. If you use your email with your bank, and other critical services I’d seriously not go with a one-person show. > Also, we're in beta https://purelymail.com/about https://purelymail.com/about > We're a small company. So small, the "we" is royal. I wish Scott best of luck and I hope one day it reaches there but until it is anything but confidence boosting.

Whenever I come across landing pages I always wonder, how many people are the "we" and "team" really. It feels disingenuous to use these terms under such circumstances, but he's definitely not a minority doing so. It's kinda the norm, wherever we (｡ ◕ ‿ ◕ ｡) like it or not

  I think it sounds natural to say "we" in the context of a company even if it's a one-person company, but I just know english as a second language.

  I did web dev for many one-off projects, and very often this is the case - that the people are non-existent. When having an altercation with a customer, one of my guys even fired the non-existing support person, and then another non-existing support person took over, apologized, and made amends with the client. So yeah, at least this guys is somewhat transparent. And with services like my primary email address, I only trust longstanding, reliable services, nothing fresh, nothing beta, nothing with the bus factor of 1. But with the custom domain, at least migration is not super hard maybe? Just hope that it doesn't happen during a 2-week vacation or something.
