Hmm. Nothing is going to be perfect for privacy-focus products right now. Privacy-focus products should be the trend the next couple years, and you can only hope that they will become better (Skiff is clearly the one). I also don’t think it’s easy to build a great product with e2ee.

Also, Skiff is featured in this video lately: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tq91QWWSmyg&t=27s

A pretty solid discussion there.

Also, it seems the review of Skiff as recommendation is still going? LOL. :joy:

It’s honestly absurd at this point. I don’t use Skiff, I’m not associated with Skiff, but the Skiff folks in this thread have been beyond patient and helpful so it’s hard to understand why there is what appears to be an indefinite delay with near radio silence from PG.

It’s been over 6 months! Either add it as a recommendation or reject it with a reason.

I don’t see you issue. PG is a volunteer run project that tries to have highs standards and takes time to evaluate new suggestions. What exactly is your problem with that?

It isn’t the first product that is in discussion for a while. Also nobody is required to list them?

It’s totally fair to take time and have a high standard. But it’s kind of absurd to take so long without a reason to not recommend or recommend.

This thread is more than 6 months old and Skiff folks have been really helpful. They are certainly not the blocker.

As phoolto kindly pointed out, we are a volunteer project which means we do all our work in our free time, without making a single dollar off it.

A project at the size of PG has alot of different facets that require attention, may it be new products on the market, or adding new langagues to our site so folks who do not speak english can improve their privacy as well.

A product as complex as an email provider needs a lot of attention, and I applaud Skiff for working so hard to get listed, I really do.

At this point they are pretty much assured to become listed, they just need to have a little more patience for while we ready things.

Look at notesnook for example, they have had an open forun thread since october last year, and only got added last month.
