    The number of http://gmalls.com  alone probably justifies an NPM package or similar which will use sophisticated ML ^H^H^H a hand-curated mapping of typoed domains to real domains.https://twitter.com/cperciva/status/1143585788208152576 …

    Something I've learned since I started @Tarsnap: Users -- even highly technical users -- typo their email addresses in signup forms with remarkable regularity.

        Another thing that sophisticated technologists believe about their use of email with more confidence than warranted: they will remember and routinely employ the person+whatever@example.com whatever thing they used to sign up for your service when attempting to sign in.

        (I have routinely hand-coded, and this feels silly to hand-code versus getting from a library, “If someone tries to log in as person@example.com and we have don’t have that but do have person+something@example.com optimistically try the password there as well before erroring.”)

        The most common errors I see are user@host with no TLD, and user@host.country which needed s/\./.co./.

        You both probably know this, but you can use e.g. @Mail_Gun's API to check if the email is valid (e.g. checks that it has MX records set up to receive email), and if invalid it gives you a "did you mean" suggestion

        That's also how you get "tikhon@jelv.is is not a valid email". *cough* Chase *cough*

        I own http://ve.ie . Many people mistake it for @live.ie (Microsoft). I get Instagram notifications, job applications, and more.

        People just need to learn to type better. The way that so many communicate today is an outrage of gargantuan proportions. I say bring back the ruler for smacking fingers in class!
