I’m only just hearing about the suite from skiff.com and curious if anyone here uses it. They’ve been around for 3 years and apparently offer an open sourced encrypted suite. They’re mainly known a Google Docs alt, but I just learned they offer encrypted mail, calendar, and cloud (10GB for free) along with their docs. Sorta blew my mind as I’m pretty acitve keeping up with privacy news. Is it just cause I use Cryptpad this is news to me and its some folks go to?
This is an ad.
Sorry it sounds like an add, swear to jah I’m just curious as it seems to have been around.
I’m deleting this (from lemmy.ml) because people are flagging it as an ad and after a couple of minutes looking at their site and github my impression is that, while they have published some source code, this is not a thing you can actually self-host or use without paying them. If I’m mistaken feel free to make a new post linking to the install instructions instead of the signup instructions.
I use them as my main email but don’t consider them truly private for anything sensitive until they prove it with a clean track record.
For now, they’re “at least they’re not Google” status to me. I would use Proton instead if the free tier didn’t lock spam/trash folder auto deletion behind a paywall.
I think this is an important difference. The are are several services that I use, not because they’ve been able to prove themselves in the long run, but rather because they’re not Google.
I’ve used Skiff since they launched. It’s decent but there’s definitely still missing features. I’ve considered moving my email but a while ago some emails weren’t coming through and that dissuaded me for now. The Pages and Calendar are good though and they just added monthly view.
Yeah I do its pretty good just know that no email is truly private. Overall its decent and I don’t see a reason not to give it a try. Video on email: https://inv.zzls.xyz/watch?v=iH626CXyNtE
This looks really nice. I’ve been using mailfence for a long time, it isn’t open source, and it hasn’t gained any functionality. It just isn’t very functional. I wonder if one can use skiff with a different email address?
I find what they are offering interesting. But I myself use Thunderbird on my pc, spark on my phone, to get the emails from Gmail and yahoo mail.
Skiff isn’t compatible with imap, and from what they are saying, is because it’s an encrypted service, and using imap would require to unencrypt them.
I wanna like it but for whatever reason @skiff.com just sounds a bit silly for an email.
I switched from proton to skiff and don’t look back. Really enjoy it and they was giving me a great yearly price paying in btc.
