Useful links for designers

Sometime ago i posted here a useful tool for designers. Today i’ve found another curious and pretty useful service, so i decided to open a thread to compilate great free and useful links, all in the same place. If you think you have something useful, add it!

That 10 minutes-long email link is really great. I haven’t known about it.

Thanks for sharing. I think the 10 Minutes Mail can be very useful. :wink:

10 minute mail does my head in!!!

I have opt ins on certain marketing campaigns… it’s so annoying to see people signing up with 10minutemails haha

I suppose from a user perspective, a very useful tool :wink:

I frequently use Yopmail.com for similar purpose. You can create any name of your yopmail email address as you like.

Let’s move up this thread a little bit. Found this today, pretty useful.
