I built encrypted email that shows exactly what it can and can't see. Closed source today, opening at 300 users. Tear it apart

Thanks for keeping an eye on things. I have been working hard on the next major update, and it directly addresses what we discussed. The upcoming release will include fully compatible, end-to-end encrypted communications. We are exposing PGP keys, which means you can exchange encrypted emails with other services like Proton, Mailbox, or Thunderbird.

We are also handling the "To" headers and metadata properly, keeping it clean, minimal, and secure.

Sorry you waited 15h for this, solo project so answers come when I'm awake. Good questions:

  1. Web only right now, no IMAP/Thunderbird yet, but client access is on the roadmap with the desktop and mobile apps. Coming, just not today
  2. Quick clarify so I'm straight with you: the OpenPGP encrypts your stored mail to your own key, so we're not interoperable PGP, outgoing mail leaves as normal email. Nothing between us and Proton/OpenKeychain to test there, so your Thunderbird issue is separate from us. If that interop matters to you, fair feature ask.

Apreciate this, genuinely.

  1. Opening it at 11 users does nothing, nobody audits a nobody. Want a bit of recognition first, and honestly want it rock solid before the whole internet tears into it. Opens at 300, that's the deal.
  2. Fair one. "No money" means no ads, no data selling, no investors, not zero revenue ever. It's cheap to run now and I cover it myself. As it grows: donations first, then paying for capacity like storage and extra aliases, anonymous payment. Never charging for privacy itself.
  3. Honestly, we want to be real competition, not just another inbox. The goal is a full private cloud: mail, messaging and drive on the same keys, with real anonymity built in. Crypto itself is standard (OpenPGP, curve25519, Argon2), the bet is the honesty and the full anonymous stack, not fancier math. We're 11 users and a long way off, so judge the steps not the dream.
