Just a reminder that notion is not end to end encrypted. Any one at notion can read your notes.
Yeah. But I guess that might change. They maybe trying to implement end-to-end encryption with the new talent pool.

#22They’re just closing it, wow. Someone had recommended me Skiff, but I stayed away from it and opted for Proton, given that they have been around for a while and Skiff smelled like VC money too much. I guess it was the right choice. At this point, a criteria I try to follow when I have to choose whether or not to rely on a tool is: is it funded by VC? If so, steer clear.
May I suggest something to think over, what about -- “Can I walk out of this, and migrate elsewhere and how complex/hard will be that migration?” instead of the blanket VC-Funded or not. My thoughts.
That's fair, although IMO it's additionally fair to be skeptical of making a long-term commitment to products/services that aren't funded in ways that permit long-term product planning and reasonably-paced development based on that plan.

#23https://skiff.com/data-migration I’m really upset about this, I was about to go all in on Skiff after being burnt by ProtonMail. Glad I didn’t. Feel really bad for those who did.
> We’re extremely excited to accelerate our mission by joining forces with Notion’s world-class team. We sincerely hope that the Skiff community will join us for this next stage of our journey.

#24Ah stink. Time to move then. Can anyone recommend a privacy focused email provider that can run free or cheap custom domains?
Migadu (you pay for volume, not per inbox/domain)

#25Man. In addition to Skiff users, I feel really bad for the people working there, too. Imagine spending years of your life on one product, working hard every day to make it as good as it can be... all for it just to go “poof” one day so some executives and investors can get rich.
Might have been the plan all along, even. Sad

a little sad at the shutdown however, one of the few privacy focused products with good design and attention to detail
