I only took a brief look, but I like the premise. The service seems far from something I would trust with handling my email. I still trust Fastmail (for reference). But I strongly welcome more alternatives to Gmail and services which prioritize user privacy. The attempt at monetization strikes me as extremely premature, given the competition. But I hope to see more.

Protonmail has also given in and paid out thousands* to criminals who DDoS their systems, no?

*In my original post I mistakenly wrote "millions"

Good timing?

Thanks for sharing, this looks neat and useful! The pagemarks are an interesting concept. It would be cool if the top progress bar above the document showed, not cumulative progress, but the progress as it maps to the areas marked on the document, which aren't necessarily contiguous. Kinda like the progress bar you have for a torrent as non-contiguous chunks are downloaded. This provides spatial information about what parts of the document have been read.

Based on the phrasing of the title, I half expected the "wheel" to be that belonging to a Tesla that somehow managed to remain engaged on autopilot for a week... would have been impressive.

That said, what's to stop a situation like that from arising as autonomous vehicles become more sophisticated?

Fastmail has worked well for me with custom domains. It's nice being able to create custom aliases for when an address is publicly visible e.g. GitHub so I know through what funnel emails are coming from.

Like others have said, the Android app is not worth installing unless you're okay with limited and, in some cases, poor functionality.

I suppose you can set it up with the Gmail or Outlook Android apps? I've never tried, as this defeats the purpose of not having those companies as your email provider :)

Still searching for a good Android mail app...

Yeah, the primary benefit I see is if one fully audits the code and any future updates. Otherwise, self-hosting doesn't confer much in the way of guarantees for security or privacy.

On what are you basing these expectations? Uploading means transmitting data to a third party. One could write a CLI that does just that. One could also write a web app where the processing takes place in the browser and the data never leaves the machine.

The difference is the web app runs within the browser sandbox while the CLI executes with user permissions.

Why would you broadly assume an incorrect rule? Email address parsers correctly implement canonicalization rules that consider the domain e.g. gmail. It doesn't require any extra work as a developer and the logic is hidden behind the abstraction. But certainly, you shouldn't go implementing arbitrary rules that aren't reasonably applicable.
