There is absolutely no way I would touch anything notion. This is a complete cop out and you know that because they're shutting down all things email in 6 months. So what, it's going to be retransformed to maybe "Notion Email" ? Oh come on, who would trust that shit at all?
Skiff had a good UI on top of a "privacy preserving" email provider. So shutting down email means their entire user base is gone. So odds are this is just an acquihire to build other products inside notion, which will have some dumb illusion of privacy at best, at worse, they just have the team building other notion shit.
I agree. I wrote them a note and said I used them because they weren't like google, but now they are behaving EXACTLY like google.

I wouldn't say exactly. Shutting down a privacy service because the team moved on still has a shit ton more principal than google.

Maybe. Flying the "we aren't evil banner" and then giving your user base a 6 month notice sucks--especially when those same users are what is allowing you to have something to sell with which to start.
