If Fastmail is included in the startup category, why aren’t email companies like Posteo and Mailbox.org included? Runbox.com is a one person operation. They’ve all been around for decades and are still going strong. Posteo hasn’t even taken

I’m always interested in such solutions. How do we know that it’s end-to-end encrypted and that it’s peer-to-peer (without examine the network traffic)? The source doesn’t seem to be available (I presume this is not open source) and there d

Suggestion to the OP: please consider adding a family plan at a lower monthly price point. On this topic, I really love Kanban boards, but a hosted version (or self-hosted) is not as appealing to me as a native app with some sync. Years ago
