Interesting! I'm probably not the target audience for this, but $50 per year for an unsubscribing service seems quite ambitious. Especially as it's unlikely someone is unsubscribing from 10 services every month!

Have you considered other pricing models? Maybe buying credits, or them rolling over?


Are your responses written by an LLM?


When the traffic was peak, I did use LLM to polish my responses. Later, I started replying without an LLM. No, AI agents at work. This is an individual at work!


It's crazy that it set off our alarms at the same time. One agreement -- oh, nice human. Two -- what is this!?

Exactly what I was thinking. Is someone letting their ai agent do _all the work?


I'll my hat if they aren't.


I've found Cursor to be frustratingly bad recently. I agree with the UX and the over-eager autocompletions. The UI seems to change with every update too. I've had my own problems as well. I can't select any models, being forced to use "auto" permanently. I assume I've used any allowances in my plan, but the app doesn't give any feedback. Chats just fail to start.

Whatever auto is using is spitting out pure gibberish about 30% of the time. What was mostly a huge productivity boost can other times be a massive time sink.

I'm going to give antigravity a go for a while, I've found Gemini to be pretty good in the past.


I really tried migrating to Proton, but unfortunately I found their suite not really fit for purpose and I had to request a refund.

- No search in Mail. You can use Bridge to pull your emails into something else, but this means it's no longer secure, and not really feasible for a non-techy partner!

- No search in Drive

- 3 domain limit for Mail(???)

- Drive sucks. No previewing files, viewing photos etc. due to missing docs suite

- No proper shared folders in Drive

- Pass is woeful at autocomplete

- Pass Aliases are independent of logins, so you end up with double entries for everything

- You can't sync the calendar with native apps, and the calendar doesn't show birthdays

- No contact sync

- Pass doesn't support SSH

- VPN lets you split tunnel by app on PC, app AND IP on Android, IP on the chrome extension. Some let you include, others exlcude. How hard is it to just allow exclude/include for hostnames?

There's tonnes more that I'm missing that I can't think of from the top of my head, but it seems like Proton have stretched themselves very thinly. What I would consider a lot of basic features are missing. One look at their UserVoice community shows a lot of frustration

I think it's probably best to pay for individual services that focus on one area. I ended up with Fastmail, 1Password, and Windscribe for example.


Valid points. For me the no search is feature (due to everything being encrypted), not a bug. But this is an individual decision. I have a similar list after 2 years of using (and managing) my personal M365 subscription (Onedrive on macOS sucks, search on iOS is very slow, spotlight integration doesn't work etc.). I just wonder what you use now as an alternative, because it seems the perfect solution will not exist. For M365, they also just price hiked my subscription after one year to over 40% (and what would I do, migration takes day) and I just felt Microsoft holds me hostage. This is not solved in any way by moving to just another lock-in platform, but I trust proton more to value customers and not squeeze money out of me with that lock-in. At least I trust them more than Microsoft or Google.


E2EE is definitely nice, however if you communicate with many people using other email providers your emails still end up there unencrypted


Unfortunately we took the simple option and reverted back to Google. I was lucky that my wife even went along with my plan to migrate everything in the first place!

I'm considering self-hosting Immich to replace photos, but not sure when I'll tackle that and don't fancy having to use Tailscale all the time. No idea about a Drive replacement as yet!


Wow, no search is a deal breaker. Might as well just delete my email, that's pretty secure.


How would you search email on an E2EE server without pulling them local?


Can't create mailing lists/groups.


Where's the trick here?


Opposite problem for me. I'm finding it impossible to expand because the button is so small!



I wouldn't worry too much about android - you can very easily add cards manually.


Just to let you know, my friend and I play this every day since I saw it here a little while back. Thank you!


That’s awesome, thank you!


This is really nice! I think it has a great aesthetic and works really well. Just a couple of thoughts:

- the long press feels a little bit too long on mobile. At least I think it is? I thought nothing had happened because my thumb was covering the active state of the letter that I pressed down on. Potentially a combo of the two

- you can "cheat" by moving the board and tracking when your word disappears
