Thanks! It's kind of crazy to think that we have platforms now where that's possible. Suri really only works because of that.

That was exactly the inspiration, in fact. I've integrated Auth0 a few times and enjoyed the ability to drop down into code to tailor logic precisely to my needs.

I want to push back a bit on this statement: > Or can one random person, working in their spare time, build just the right app and reach millions of people? I agree that it's very difficult for one person; however, to win doesn&#x27

Yeah, good question. There are certainly more privacy-conscious services, but FastMail is good enough for what I'm looking for. The big thing being that they don't analyze my email for advertising purposes. This list is about a ye

Their web UI is extremely snappy. Definitely on par with Gmail's web UI, if not faster. I don't have tons of messages in FastMail — so take that into consideration — but their web UI search seems very quick as well. I haven't

Yeah, I think that's a fair point, and can certainly be a logical step toward increased privacy.
