Why would anyone use this over Proton Mail or the gazillion alternatives if it treats people like shit.

Yes it is. It is malware at this point. (It’s trying to trick you into clicking ads.) If I can invite you to try Port87, it’s an email service that I wrote that does the opposite. (Keeps spam out of your inbox, rather than inserting spam into it.)

Full disclosure: I developed and run Port87, and as such, have a financial interest in it.

Nice work! Quick typo on your website - should be, 'anything you can imagine', not 'anything you can image'.

Oh wow. Thank you.

Fast! Page isn't loading for me now in Chrome or FF (loads but the scroll will not).

Thanks! This is fixed now. That’s the danger of the app’s CSS needing the page not to scroll, but the website’s CSS needing the opposite.
