Inspiration

Privacy online is hard. Every site wants your email, personal details, and sometimes more. But not all of them feel safe or trustworthy. I wanted a way to sign up for sketchy websites without giving away my real identity — and doing it fast.

DisguisMe was born from this idea: one-click burner personas (name, email, etc.) you can use anywhere. Like a fake identity generator, but smarter, safer, and privacy-focused.

What it does

DisguisMe lets you:

Create complete fake personas with names + disposable emails
Use them to sign up for sites where you don’t want to share your real info
Automatically forward messages to your real inbox (or view in-app)
Use browser extensions (coming soon) for seamless autofill
Get started with one free persona — no credit card required

How we built it

This project was built solo, with a huge boost from Bolt:

Bolt: I used it extensively to build the UI, landing page, backend logic, pricing logic, and onboarding flow — it accelerated development massively
Frontend: Next.js + Tailwind + Framer Motion (Bolt handled a lot of UI scaffolding)
Backend: Supabase (auth + database)

Challenges we ran into

Email forwarding with dynamic aliases is hard without a custom SMTP setup
Preventing abuse (like users creating multiple accounts to get more free personas)
Finding a clean pricing model that aligns with the core value
Getting real user feedback while still in MVP stage

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Launched a working prototype solo in a short time
Auth, persona creation, and email aliasing are all functional
Got great feedback from privacy-conscious users

What we learned

People really do care about their privacy — especially developers and power users
A freemium model with clear value can attract early adopters quickly
Validation doesn’t need a finished product, just something that works enough to test
