Interested to hear from people who have gone all in on the proton stack vs Google for business. Particularly interested in how sheets functionality and email deliverability compare? #proton #privacy #...

I went all-in on Proton for personal use about a year ago. Sheets replacement (Proton doesn't have one yet) is the real gap — I still keep a Google account just for that.

Email deliverability has been solid for me. The bigger issue is the inbox itself. Proton protects your data FROM Google, but it doesn't protect your attention FROM spam. You still get cold outreach, newsletters you never signed up for, recruiters, etc.

That's actually what pushed me to start building something — an email layer where strangers have to pay a tiny Lightning fee to reach you. Trusted contacts get through free. It's not about replacing Proton, it's about fixing the inbox problem none of them solve.

What's your main use case — personal privacy or business?

Thanks for the response, very insightful! Business, just trying to go as oss/private/sovereign as we can without sacrificing significant usability or requiring a bunch of sysadmin overhead. Tried to zap ya but no zaps setup
