I built ACEGI.io to fix what email and DMs broke

Hey everyone — I’m Brendan, a software architect who got fed up with inbox overload.

Like a lot of you, I’ve missed real opportunities because they were buried under spam, bots, or “just a quick question” messages that weren’t quick at all. I’ve also had times I wanted to reach someone but had no way to stand out in their crowded inbox.

So I built ACEGI.io.

It’s a public profile that works like a link-in-bio—but with a twist:

People have to pay to message you.

You set the price.

If you reply, the thread stays open.

If you ignore it, the sender isn’t charged.

It’s a way for creators, consultants, and everyday professionals to stay reachable—without the noise.

Influencers can get serious messages from brands or collaborators.

Speakers can field meaningful questions after a talk.

Regular folks can stay open to recruiters and old colleagues—without drowning in junk.

We’re in early days, but the response has been encouraging.

I’d love any feedback from this community—and if you want to try it, it’s free to set up: https://acegi.io
