I'm 25 year old developer from England trying to get better at building & launching all the product ideas I have written down in my phone. Mailoji is the sixth project I've built as part of my Tiny Projects mission.
Over Christmas I started tinkering around with emoji domains, which got me wondering - wouldn't it be cool if you could have an emoji email address like elon@[rocket-emoji]?
After a month of experimentation, and obtaining 250+ emoji domain names, I'm proud to launch Mailoji!
A Mailoji is just a normal email address like the one you have now. However, instead of your email address ending with @gmail or @yahoo, a mailoji email address ends with an emoji.
You can send emails to an emoji email address from most major email clients and they simply get forwarded to your regular email.
Mailojis are fun, and a bit silly, but they can really add a futuristic flair to anything. They're great for marketing and really stand out.
This was a really fun build, If you have any questions I'd be happy to answer them!
Experimented with quite a few. GoDaddy didn't believe emoji domains existed. .fm keep their emoji domains hostage and ask for $5k/domain. Freenom is totally unreliable. In the end I used ps.kz
(technically elon@xn--158h) cannot be delivered through WWW, can it?
So will it be elon@xn--158h.cf, .ga, .gq, .la, .ml, .tk, .st, .fm, .to, .je, .gg, .kz, .com.kz, .org.kz, or .ws **? Or do you have single second level domain and it will be actually subdomains like
I’ve been running https://xn--i-7iq.ws/ for the last few years... Godaddy should have solid support end-to-end, but it’s supported by other registrars as well
