GroupSafe

This side project as been going on for many years. It is a messaging platform based, from the ground up, on Groups. Its called GroupSafe. Join a Group and your email (or phone) is aliased and used as your default 'Delivery Method'. Then, any Group you join allows you to be messaged or send a message to one or more Group Members. No one ever sees your email or phone# as its aliased. You can and multilple Delivery Methods and then decide, by Group, how (and when) to receive messages. You maintain your Delivery Method details so the Group members don't have to. You can turn off any Delivery Methods by Group or leave a Group at any time. You can create a Group and let your friends know about it, or, if you do have their email or phone, you can invite them but never again have to maintain their email or phone. A Group QR code can be placed on your website (or other media) inlieu of a newsletter that requires the user to provide their email...as an example. Just a start of the possibilities. Mobile apps being worked on ...for now, a mobile web site begroupsafe.com
