    I was in the exact same position a few years ago. I ended up building an email backup app. https://thehorcrux.com/about/

    I build a small personal email backup solution. This is exactly what I suggest the users to do. If you have a profession that has a lot to do with the internet, having an own domai…

    I'm a fan of FastMail and their philosophy. I believe you have to own your data. It is hard to find companies with core values so deeply entrenched in the product. I think it gets …

    That makes sense. My app[1] is currently priced at $20. The way it's used, it can't be right to limit users with pro features. I can either increase the price or go the subscriptio…

    Big companies don't owe you anything by hosting the files for you, because you are the product. Something similar happened to me in 2012 but with a Gmail account[1]. So, I built an…
