While I don't intend to register as a non-profit (there's CatalogChoice already), I could see registering as a Benefit Corporation / B Corp. Would that hold any weight, or would you still just view that as "an SF tech st

That would be nice. However, the postal service is required to deliver your mail, and they make money by doing so. They have no interest in reducing mail and in fact have been advertising their “Every Door Direct Mail” service which is near

Totally understand the privacy concern. If it helps, I'm a person, not a company—and I put my photo and personal links right on the homepage so folks can decide if they would like to trust me with this sensitive information.

Thanks! I created the initial MVP of Mel right after we shut down Remedy back in 2017, so the SMS-based UI was top-of-mind. A great post-mortem on Remedy here: https://www.fastcompany.com/40483774/remedy-wanted-to-cut-p
