#42This 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.

#43Earlier quoted context omitted.
Hey, I know someone working on a plaintext email service which should be encrypted by default, without attachments. I can post to HN if/when it's public.

Standard SMTP and IMAP but only plaintext is allowed, no attachments. If it works out it will be encrypted by default with a privkey + passphrase upon account creation, and you can of course encrypt on your own on top of the defaults.
