Same but different:
> Your HN comment on 'feature request tracker open source' caught my eye. Just > shipped InboxKit — $9/mo Canny alternative for indie SaaS. 8KB embed, AI dedupe, auto roadmap.
> Real story: launched yesterday, demo URL was broken for 12 hours (rebranded > from "eventium" → "mindie", forgot to > grep). Fixed now. Wrote up the postmortem here if you're curious: XXXX
> 5 early-user spots today: $3/mo first 2 months total (~$6 for 2mo), I'll > install on your site over Loom. Code > EARLY10 pre-applied: https://polar.sh/checkout/XXXX
I suspect that this is pure phishing, not an attempt to sell a product.

Got one too for the same product, except the entire email is different (even the unsubscribe method!). They must be hallucinating a seperate email for everyone.

Got one myself.
I keep thinking I should send these spammers gore pictures to ruin someone's day. I wish there was a service/mailing list to automate this, so I don't have to view the pictures myself.

I’m also getting a ton of these; what’s the solution? Dedicated GitHub email account, aggressively filtered? I’m not sure this will work for me, given I’ve used GitHub SSO liberally for tools which interact with repositories (of which there are many these days).
