shlomo_z··on Ask HN: What email provider do you recommend for personal email?
interesting.. I don't use apple devices at all, otherwise that would be kind of compelling.
shlomo_z··on Ask HN: What email provider do you recommend for personal email?
thanks!
shlomo_z··on Ask HN: What email provider do you recommend for personal email?
Useful information, thank you!
shlomo_z··on Ask HN: What email provider do you recommend for personal email?
Thank you for the suggestion and I will certainly consider it.

That said, recently I've seen reports of Proton engaging in shady business practices recently, EG Price sensitivity testing[1].

shlomo_z··on Ask HN: What email provider do you recommend for personal email?
Thank you for the suggestion. You are the second person to suggest it and I will look into it! On first glance, this may be exactly what I am looking for.
shlomo_z··on Ask HN: What email provider do you recommend for personal email?
Thank you, I will look into FastMail. I have always understood it to be a deliverability nightmare when self hosting email servers, would you agree or disagree with that?
shlomo_z··on Ask HN: What email provider do you recommend for personal email?
I look at both of these, thank you!

However, I've seen reports of Proton engaging in shady business practices recently, EG Price sensitivity testing.

Crazy that Dang literally manages HN in his sleep!

We all knew that but I haven't seen any confirmation before this.

Awesome! Thank you internet stranger!

About the first part, I am working on something similar for myself. If you want an api to get SMS for free, without needing any 10dlc stuff, check out groupme, which supports SMS.

I love the concept!

For now, I think it would be funny if you put plaintext that says "just bought the milliondollargpt.com and have no idea what to do with it...". Optionally as a hyperlink to your comment I am replying to.

Edit: Spelling

Hey,

I do not own an iPhone and I do not use swift. I just want to say congrats on the launch, this looks and sounds really cool. And watching your interactions in this thread, you look like you'll do really well!

> putting secrets into environment variables in the first place - that is apparently acceptable to them and sets off a red flag for me

Isn't that standard? The other options I've seen are .env files (amazing dev experience but not as secure), and AWS Secrets Manager and similar competition like Infisical. Even in the latter, you need keys to authenticate with the secrets manager and I believe it's recommended to store those as env vars.
