Show HN: Reallyfrom.me – vouch that your message is from you

Reallyfrom.me, a new tool launched on Hacker News, lets users generate a hash code for their messages so recipients can verify the message is unchanged and truly from the sender, addressing trust issues with AI-generated messages. The tool offers both public and private verification options, with examples showing public verification at www.reallyfrom.me/zak/3XXY7GV and private at www.reallyfrom.me/zak/VW5ZLNR.

Having a message sent from someone who cared enough to read and write that message to you is important. But with agentic and autonomous methods of sending messages, it's harder to trust that any effort has gone into writing a message.

So we created ReallyFrom.me -- write a message, generate a hash code and send the message to whomever with the link we create. The recipient can paste your message to confirm that it's identical. You can also have an option to make your message public on the verification page -- prolly good for public figures.

Example #1 ///Public verification ///

Hello world, I really like green eggs and ham.

-Zak

Verify: www.reallyfrom.me/zak/3XXY7GV

Example #2 ////Private verification ////

Please don't let them know I really hate green eggs and ham.

-Zak

Verify: www.reallyfrom.me/zak/VW5ZLNR
