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 launched a side project that allows you to run your customer's code from your app: https://www.lateral.run I went back-and-forth at first on whether now's the time to launch a co…

For most people considering Sandstorm, Google is probably the last place they'd feel comfortable sharing their data.

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 …

Looks good as a self-hosted option.

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…

A few people have mentioned http://dovecot.org/ combined with either https://roundcube.net/ or http://www.rainloop.net/ .

This is an interesting/creative idea. I've heard about people doing something similar with Twitter and Facebook. While they want you to keep everything forever, it's actually prett…

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 …

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

I agree. They don't sell the privacy-conscious angle as a feature like some, but I'd certainly trust them more than Google or Facebook.

https://www.privacytools.io/ and https://prism-break.org/en/ are good places to start. They list most (all?) of the major alternatives for the different categories of apps. On a pe…

TrackMeNot ( http://cs.nyu.edu/trackmenot/ ) uses this technique to protect against web search tracking. In general, privacy by obfuscation is an idea that privacy researchers have…

For example, SpiderOak for backups, DuckDuckGo for search, Burner for phone communication, etc. I ask because I'm curious whether privacy as a feature is important to enough people…
