Skiff, the document, email, collaboration, calendar, drive suite has shut down and has joined with Notion in an unexpected update to the privacy & security space. Here’s what Skiff users need to know, as well as why it’s important for everyone in the digital rights space and how they can pick services that are more likely to stick around.

welp, this is effed, i was using skiff to get everything off using google docs because i absolutely do not like what google is doing to people's stuff in drive so i got everything i cared about off from there and moved to skiff and continued my projects there. now that skiff is dead idk where else to go. i rather nail myself to a cactus than to crawl back to google docs and drive or resort to Microsoft office and pay a sub. luckily i wasnt using skiff's email service. hopefully there's another google docs like site out there.
good thing I created a Skiff account, but didn't start using because the Android apps were full of bugs – the only service I'm using and that would be a pain to move from if they closed whould be Filen, but they say they're financially good, so I hope this keeps like it
Is the Skiff drive affected as well or just the email service part?
from protonmail to ctemplar to skiff back to proton again its pretty frustrating
WHAT?! noo, this sucks, how sad.
I hope this doesn't dissuade people who decided to start their privacy journey with Skiff.
I loved that you mentioned floorp about the hype overlooking the product.
I commented on techlore clips about how in Japan, floorp has seen active users since mid 2022, only now to gain popularity in the english speaking cybersecurity community.
ive had floorp for a while and I'm pretty grateful for CTT's video to really showcase it.
i feel like it just doesn't have the multilingual communication from mods. Really happy about surapuyousei's english though, there used to be lots of lack of English communications in the past that have now improved
Wtf 🤯
I think I am gonna use Gmail 😞
Proton is king
The fuck.. I JUST started using Skiff!!
noooooooo I used skiff 🙁
Disappointed 💔
Anyone unable to log into Tuta using Tor Browser Bundle anymore? Getting an unsupported browser error.
A win for proton
I'm upset that I'm learning about all this NOW! 😐
I have used skiff pages alternative for notion, now everything came to an end -> deleting my skiff account now
Very sad, now I need to migrate my skiff email to proton 😟
This is a real shame as many companies refuse to send mail to Proton.
Rent your own domain. Switching the service is done in minutes.
This chad looks like a Sainsbury's delivery driver
I did not know that about this news. Thank you for telling me along with lessons for the future. 😇
it's all over
The current model of much open source is that of Silicon Valley: write it, get it popular, sell it off, head off to the Caribbean; was that way most of my 45 year softdev career and 30 of that which was in Silicon Valley. Good luck!
This had the hands down best color scheme and ui , especially the unofficial linux application they had 💔
Wow, 6 months ago I was planning to move from gmail to more secure email/drive solution, I was between skiff and proton. In the end i choose proton. I feel lucky I did get skiff. They have an amazing product. I really liked it
Open source tends to depend entirely upon enthusiasm and donations, both of which are undependable.
Is there another private email provider with custom domains in free tier?
Use QORTAL – time to switch………. new UI has made it much easier to start using
