Has anyone jumped ship from the Google ecosystem & started using the Skiff platform at all?

Curious to know what your experiences are like with it.

Also wondering about the comparison between Protonmail ecosystem & Skiff.

Main reason I was even considering Skiff, is because my Proton account started getting wild spam email out of the blue? And unsubscribing doesn’t exactly work.

I thought privacy-focused email platforms would solve that 😅🙃

Yo for real! That’s one of those things that really helped Google sink their teeth in. It’s very much the ecosystem aspects & how deeply integrated they are with just about everything nowadays.

Of course, that’s likely what contributes to a lack of privacy for us… Convenience comes at a cost.

Love the product, but can't switch due to sign-in-with-google

I wonder if they considered that a feature more than a bug lol

“We do it to keep you safe! #privacy” 😆

The game changer for them would be to implement Passkeys then.

Tried skiff many months ago on ios, macos, and web app, sending emails were okay but all 3 kept signing out many times in a day, stopped using it afterwards.

Understood — I imagine they’ve been able to make *some* improvements since then, but naturally I assume they still have a lot more to work on before it can be an ideal transition.

I tried skiff out about a year ago for a bit to see if I could ever switch

It wasn’t a great experience at all
