much thanks to @gary_host_laptop for the logo design :)
Probably an ad, but much more subtle if so. The old ones were so blatant. :)
What makes you do it with a smile? What does it give you that proton or tutanota doesn't?
this company is really making it easy to get out of Google with a smile.
yet another fake privacy initiative. this post is clearly an ad
I consider marketing something as “for free thinkers” as a huge red flag.
Never heard of it, am suspicious.
Also, those icons in the preview image look like an abstracted Peter Griffin.
"Lois, look: I'm icons now! Hehehehehehehehe!"
I want the drugs you are on
Talk to your doctor to see if Imagination™ is right for you!
Is that it's name? Awesome
IDK, I've overdosed on Imagination™ and the lines separating reality from fantasy are just gone now: Maybe it was all just some crazy fever dream.
Fun unrelated fact: It's is just a contraction of it and is, its would be what you'd use to show ownership (no apostrophe) because English is wacky like that.
Oh, that's what it's! I've been wondering for a while.
"No, not like that!"
-English
Oh no the radom dude online who speaks another language made a quick mistake. Better make sure to correct him! Why do people always get a boner from grammatics? Its ridiculous! (hehe)
Ok fine, don't learn anything.
For what it's worth, I didn't even know English was your second language: You write better than many native speakers, don't get discouraged it wasn't my intent to offend.
Looks interesting. The first glance it looks like "Yet another company trying to make Email what it isn't", which means breaking all compatibility with existing mechanisms (e.g. IMAP) at cost of getting locked-in into their own ecosystem (unless you pay premium and enable IMAP back like Proton does).
This is why while I want companies like Proton and Tutanota succeed, I don't use their email products for business purposes.
Switched a while back from proton to skiff and loving it. Also the send emails later feature is great.
Would you mind telling me why you switched?
First because of the price, they give away credits if you apply for it. Our company saved around half of the price vs proton. Second pages. It’s great to work as a team on pages and the integration between calendar, pages, drive and email just works great. It’s basically like Gmail without the spying
What are big differences between the 2
For those who think it is an AD, it isn't. I just like Skiff so I made a post about it to see what people from the privacy sub think of it, clearly and without much explanation most of you don't like it. I genuinely thought it was a good company, now I am not sure anymore without knowing why. I would have loved more explainations about why is it so bad.
with a quick look at their website we can have a taste of how much they care about privacy. Their website is connecting to various third party domains:
- matomo: an invasive analytics software
- sanity.io: which I didn't know, but from their homepage "Treat content as data" doesn't sound good.
and that's just by viewing their homepage connections.
I'm sure there are more problems, but I don't want to invest more time in a random sketchy company when just in their homepage have demonstrated how little they care of privacy.
By reading other comments, their email doesn't support email clients, which is a huge issue.
