We are happy to answer your questions about the code or discuss technical ideas.

Please complete the following checklist (by adding [x]):

There're thousand of words to use (e.g. awesome, hello, name, cool) or you could use "amaze, amazing". On the other hand, this seems to give people an idea to become scammers. (e.g. example company tech support, sales team, HR / recruiter).

My understanding of the logic behind using "amazon" in the alias graphic is that it's to signify that it's the address you're signing up with to Amazon to prevent your actual email from being leaked in the event of a data breach.

Maybe something like "sketchysite" could be used to convey the same idea, if the concerns re: optics are worth considering
