Possibly... I might try using Charles Proxy mobile app to observe what domains data is being sent/received from, then on your home network use something like Pi-Hole to block those domains.

Fanfare? Hardly.

Looks cool, but FYI for those trying to remove themselves from the Google surveillance ecosystem... Outline was created by Jigsaw, an Alphabet/Google owned subsidiary. Outline could very well have the best intentions, and they likely do based on Jigsaw’s mission, but the link to Alphabet/Google should caution some people.

I echo the sentiment. I’ll add my experience... Using InVision at a large company is a nightmare. It’s slow, buggy. You can’t trust it. It’s failed on me so many times I can’t count anymore.

Good to know - thanks! As a privacy company, it seems like a very odd decision by the ProtonVPN product team to use a Google service in the first place and have their brand anywhere close to Google... a company that is the exact opposite of privacy. Regardless, definitely glad they're fixing it.

Don’t listen to the people that say “Ugh, not another notes/docs app”. They way you’re thinking about the problem and how you’re solving it, I believe, are right. Your product reminds me a lot of Quip... which Salesforce bought for ~$750M.

Generally agree with you... however, I’m a designer and I’ve had surprisingly positive experiences with AWS. I thought it was going to be highly technical and frustrating, but for basic static hosting AWS doesn’t require any command line skills. It’s all point and click. You can even set up SFTP to your S3 bucket with something like Transmit from Panic (Mac). More of what you’ll find yourself dealing with is AWS’s confusing UX, understanding how all the AWS parts fit together (Route 53, CloudFront, etc,) and discoverability in their help documentation.

For a static site on AWS, you can easily set up S3 + CloudFront + Route 53 + free certificate from AWS Certificate Manager. My bill is around $1.07 per month.

Filters and labels in Gmail.

Any email I send to myself is automatically marked as read... then based on what’s in the subject line a label is automatically applied. For example, if I have an idea for a design I send an email with a subject of “Design - blah blah” and whatever text in the body. The filter I set up in Gmail looks for the word “Design” in the subject, marks it as read so I don’t get notified of a new email, and then applies the Design label. From there, I usually start an email thread on that subject line as I have more ideas.

I kind of was half expecting this to be about some Nigerian prince that needed my money...
