Basically because it’s automatic, so just giving out a new email address is all you need to do to set up a new label. Then you can do things like turning notifications for that label on and off or blocking the label altogether with a toggle. It also supports screening on labels that are just for real people to contact you. If you email me at [email protected], you’ll get an email right back asking you to prove you’re human before the email actually gets delivered to me. That way if that email gets disclosed publicly (like I just did) you don’t have to worry about spam.
But yeah, if you’ve got a system that works for you already, no worries. I’m trying to make Port87 an easy solution for people who aren’t happy with their current email provider.
It’s more than just subaddressing, but yes, it uses subaddressing with either a plus or a dash as the delimiter.

I didn’t say I was an expert in email, but I have written an email service, so I’m at least proficient.
