summary

A client-side JavaScript fix called mjs email autocorrect that matches typed domains against a preset list and suggests corrections reduces email bounces by 50% after one week in initial deployment. First version takes about an hour to implement, is on GitHub, and is used by Dropbox and Uber; later additions include a keyboard-distance string similarity step to catch nearby-key typos. Simple nudges outperform heavy server-side validation.
