I love the idea of rolling your own solutions, it's fun and challenging and you'll learn a lot especially when it comes to scaling. For actual deployment for a startup though, I struggle to see any benefit whatsoever.

If encrypted emails are stored on Helms cloud, why do we need hardware? Isn't a software solution possible where the user holds the encryption keys? And secondly, if residential internet cuts off - would I lose emails sent to me?
