At this point, I'm just happy there is a new email client that isn't storing anything on the third party servers. Good for Canary and I'll give it a try.
Email client economics are tough, you need some sort of service-like revenue associated with it or you sell your customers data in order to have a sustainable business. I hope canary has something non-evil figured out, the client looks nice.
That moment when I have to go to Product Hunt to see screenshots of your app because apparently they aren't important enough to put on your landing page. Why do so many app landing pages leave out screenshots?
Choose any of the other sub-pages (from PRIVACY | AI | TRACKING | SANITIZER | SNOOZE | SEARCH) and you see other screenshots.
The on-boarding screenshots are a bad choice for the landing page.

Product Hunt is beyond the tipping point of being an inside community where your product only succeeds if a dozen or so other "makers" (as they call it) can also advertise their churn in your thread.
Just last week that Spreadshare product was at the top of the page because their maker went out and spammed Slack channels soliciting upvotes under the false pretense of offering jobs to developers.

...or you could just sell the software? That's how we used to do it in the Olden Days.
This looks like a decent mail client and making PGP more accessible I think is an admirable goal but I wish designers would stop patting themselves on the back... "Simple. Secure. Stunning." is right up there with all these "show hn" that start with "beautiful". Let social proof speak for itself. Show a quote from a major publication calling you stunning. Don't call yourself stunning. I bet you it is more effective t…
Not all applications consider looking Stunning an important goal. These 3 words tell me that the application designers consider security, ease of use, and good looks as their major priorities while designing the application.
A person self proclaiming that they are sexy and handsome is either lying (if they are not) or they are boasting about their genes, which is not something today's society considers boast worthy.
From the http request you're taking all kinds of metadata to your server. I don't want to add my PGP key in here to check, but I assume this is default for PGP messages too?

They have screenshots. 30% of the landing page is that. But the screenshots they choose are the on-boarding/startup screens. Choose any of the other sub-pages (from PRIVACY | AI | TRACKING | SANITIZER | SNOOZE | SEARCH) and you see other screenshots. The on-boarding screenshots are a bad choice for the landing page.

Does Spark store anything on 3rd party servers? I didn't think so.
