Duck​Duck​Go Email Builder

DuckDuckGo lets you reply to emails with your duck.com address. You can also send your own email from your duck.com address if you format the destination address correctly.

ExampleUsername_at_example.com_YourDuckUsername@duck.com

If you send an email to the above address, the user at ExampleUsername@example.com will receive an email from you as if you sent it from your duck.com account.

But it can be annoying to set up this address if you already have the normal address in your clipboard. So I built this tiny script to do that work for me.

Paste in your destination address, let the browser remember your duck address, and hit the Copy button.

Note: This page uses your browser’s localStorage feature to remember your last used duck address. Nothing is sent to or stored on my server. But if you’d like, you can delete the text in the duck address box to clear the localStorage.

Is it more convenient to navigate to this web page to paste in the address instead of simply spending the 3 seconds to fix the address myself? No idea. But sounded like a simple and fun problem to fix.
