I have been using Skiff for about a year or so and was only satisfied with their email which can forward your Gmail emails and have aliases for free, the calendar app didn't notify me so it was useless but now it does and it works very well, I could also import my Tutanota calendar very easily. The drive has 10gb for free and can now download all your Google drive in one click and you can use IPFS as storage, this company is really making it easy to get out of Google with a smile.

What do you all think about it ?

Some companies don't see privacy as security. They want to know your background, when you punch in/ punch out, if you're the type of person to leak secrets over the "dark web".

Some also don't believe in privacy at all, they believe in contract. When choosing a platform they want to know if they can sue them for breaching an NDA.

I did not receive an offer from that specific interview but yeah, I admit it was odd and didn't inspire trust so I wouldn't have accepted anyway.
