A new public face for the rebuild

BTC.email has a new orange homepage, shared navigation, and clearer About, FAQ, support, and legal pages. The product rebuild continues on the reconnected hosting.

Historical update · October 20, 2026

Run the site's server code next to its database, so pages answer sooner.

Refuse incoming mail notices and scheduled jobs whenever their secret is missing, instead of letting them through.

Stop serving requests when their rate limits cannot be checked, rather than serving them unchecked.

Sign you in on the server, and let your account data change only through checked requests.

Repair Lightning login, so a wallet can sign you in again.

Keep request limits in the main database, so request protection no longer depends on a separate service.

Check the signature on your session for every signed-in page, and keep you signed in when a page sends you elsewhere.

Refuse new passwords that have appeared in known data breaches.

Switch to database keys that can be rotated one at a time.

Limit direct database access to the account reads the app needs, and keep new database functions private by default.

Reconnect incoming mail with full-message retrieval and protection against duplicate payment-request emails during the provider’s retry window.

Send sign-up and password emails from a BTC.email address.

Bring account, payment, and notification emails into the orange design, with clearer details and readable action links.

Preview a familiar inbox with clearer contrast, compact controls, folders, search, bulk actions, and optional Bitcoin attachments. Mail and transfers remain simulated.

Write formatted messages with links, lists, images, and attachments. Reply within a conversation or move the same draft to a centered, full-screen, or corner window.

Explore sample conversations, rich messages, long newsletters, drafts, and mailbox states before the connected inbox is rebuilt.

Spot received Bitcoin with brighter amount badges. Use compact writing tools and quick row actions, including snoozing sample mail.

Keep unfinished sample drafts when switching conversations, including drafts with only Cc or Bcc recipients.

Give the homepage its orange design, with closer alignment between the simple idea and its explanation.

Use one header and footer across public and sign-in pages, with Support, Privacy, and Terms always available.

Switch between light and dark with the header's Bitcoin icon, with a gentle hover pulse and a saved theme choice.

Carry the bold design through About, FAQ, Support, legal pages, and release notes, with shared typography and spacing.

Keep long pages readable on small screens, with keyboard access, page contents, and expandable FAQ answers.

Remove the retired social account links and email sharing button.

Let signed-out visitors reach account recovery, and give authentication screens a clear page heading.

Come home to a calmer sign-in screen, discover an orange portal when joining, and find reassuring recovery, confirmation, and farewell screens.

Keep password-reset links usable until you submit a new password, then confirm the change on sign-in.

Show clear errors and retry controls when wallet sign-in or sign-out fails.

Explain the email model and private-alpha limits on About and FAQ, without promising spam elimination or forwarding.

Clarify hosted email storage, abuse checks, payment infrastructure, and data retention in the legal pages.

Keep public copy and search metadata focused on the web rebuild.
