  • Any time I go to a business/organization of some sort, I check to see if it’s on OSM (thru CoMaps), and if it isn’t, then I add it. If the business is there but doesn’t have any info attached to it (web page, phone #, hours, etc) I try to add that too. I’ve also found that for hiking OSM is frequently superior to Google maps. But yes, there are definitely some gaps which can make it frustrating to use sometimes.









  • Being lazy and reposting an earlier comment of mine:

    I think in part it was because they seemed unable to fix the Linux desktop client after months and months and months, and repeated support requests. Also, I had been a user of theirs for some time when they changed how their plans worked, and moved a feature I relied heavily upon (I think it was email templates—something you might never need!) to a much more expensive plan. Felt like I was being charged more for being a longtime user. I don’t know if they have cloud storage now, but at the time they didn’t, and Proton had that, along of course with mail and calendar—all of that for less than what Tuta was offering which was mail, calendar, and plenty of other features that were continuously promised but never released. So really just a bunch of little things that were important to me, but which other users might never miss.




  • Proton could fix their half-baked services if they stopped introducing new products for a while.

    Yes. They need to stop introducing new products that people don’t want and focus instead on the fundamentals, like (well, at least for the Linux desktop, don’t know about the other platforms) having contact photos that display, having the ability to sort contacts alphabetically by last name, even just being able to minimize the left-hand toolbar would be nice so I can see more of the message pane, but no. Honestly kind of waiting to see how Thundermail will turn out at this point. Proton is ok, but not great in my estimation.
