Show HN: I made a simple lead magnet delivery without techsetup

When I tried to set up my first lead magnet funnel, I hit a wall. What was supposed to be a simple "give away a free guide in exchange for emails”"turned into a mess of picking an email provider, wiring forms, building automations, and making sure everything was GDPR-compliant.

I realized this is the same pain many creators face: too much setup just to share a freebie.

So I built freebie.email...the domain is cool, eh

How it works: - Upload your freebie (PDF, checklist, template, etc.) - Get a unique link to share anywhere (bio, website, social) - Collect emails automatically - Subscribers receive the file instantly—no integrations, no configs

That’s it. Minimal, distraction-free, and built for creators who just want to ship.

I’d love your feedback—the good, the bad, or the weird. What’s missing? What confused you? What features would make it indispensable?

Hi HN! I’m the solo maker behind freebie.email—a one-page tool to simplify lead magnet delivery.

Built in my evenings (with my sons around), using sveltekit (i'm a big fan). I’ve seen too many people spend days integrating tools just to give away a PDF—so I cut the steps.

Would appreciate any feedback on the UX, possible pain points, or feature requests. Happy to answer tech or product questions too.
