   Great user interface, and ease of use. Not sure about the privacy though.

   Very happy with its offers, it has a full suite of tools. Also the user experience is great. I am not sure about the privacy though. I am not confident enough to use it for sending and receiving confidential documents.

   🏁 Competitors: Mailfence, ProtonMail

   👍 Pros:    Huge storage space|Mobile app|Easy to use|Organisation

   👎 Cons:    Security|Privacy|Data protection and security

   Not good mail in terms of privacy and security

   I used to use Gmail until 4 months ago. I was really happy with this mail, it is easy to handle and, being a Google member, there are many tools available to use. However, I started to learn about the security and privacy offered by Google, which is NONE. We are selling our information and personal data to a technological giant and, many times, we are not even aware of it.

   This is why I deleted all but one of my Google-related accounts. As most people are still not aware of this, when working or contacting certain people for the first time, it is essential to do it through Gmail.

   Today, there are a few alternatives to solve this lack of privacy. After doing an intensive search and reading comments, I decided to get an account with Mailfence and, honestly, I'm very happy with their service. It's an easy to use email, with end-to-end encryption, digital signatures, calendar, document saving capabilities, ... I really recommend it for all those who are starting in the world of privacy and security. The best thing is that you can create a free account and, if you are happy with the service or need more storage space, you can switch to a paid account.

   I hope my opinion helps everyone, especially those who are thinking about whether it is really worth giving all our information in exchange for a free email.

• Browse Self-Hosted Software

  > None of these lists ever seem to be as fleshed out, up to date, or well organized as https://github.com/awesome-selfhosted/awesome-selfhosted or "best of" lists to pick a couple options to evaluate in more depth. If I analyzed 10 times as many options I might discover really wonderful projects I would have otherwise missed, but I struggle to imagine having that kind of time. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 month ago

• Thinking about switching, what am I giving up?

  There are plenty of video editors available. Go to alternativeto.net which allows you to search for, well, alternatives to your existing apps. Source: 5 months ago

• Alternatives?

  Just recently I created a post showcasing a library I wrote and the first comment was: there is this other package that does that already. Sure it does, sort of, but its not a silver bullet just as pretty much anything. For applications there are platforms like https://alternativeto.net/ where people can vote for/against them, suggest alternatives and describe the differences between them. I've googled for...
