I've enjoyed fastmail for many years as an alternative to gmail. I've never once had any issues with them and their UI has been very responsive. They also give you a MASSIVE list of domain names to choose from! ^_^

I started using fastmail for my business domain, it's going pretty good so far.

I'm in the process of switching over to fastmail. I'm pretty happy with it so far.

Unfortunately, Fastmail is very expensive.

Unfortunately it costs money to hire people and run servers, and we have to pay for it somehow! Over 1/3 of our staff are first line customer support, and you get through to the engineers actually building and running the product quite quickly if you find an issue that the support team can't help you with directly.

The alternative is trying to monitise the userbase some other way, and we're not interested in that game. We have no advertising, no data sales, and no ethical conundrums or regrets about that choice!

Cheers.

$50 per year for what is arguably one of the most important services/tools you use? That's not very expensive to me.

Expensive? It's cheaper than G-Suite...

$3/month is quite reasonable

$30/year is expensive?

I just finished moving all my 20+ repos over from github and deleted all of my github accounts. Feels good actually. I'm glad to see gitlab getting good attention. I bet all of the people behind gitlab are feeling pumped/anxious/excited right now! ^_^

I hope you are right and I hope Gitlab folks are happy. But also note that it just became easier in many big corporations to sell Github to senior management, because you know, "nobody got fired for choosing Microsoft"

Congratulations! That sounds like a really good use of your time. Nobody ever get fired for choosing Microsoft...

It was actually very easy for me lmao. ^_^ I'm nooooooo noob to computer technology.

Have to start somewhere! ^_^

Or then I could just host it myself using their open tech and everything would be fine again. :)

I just moved all of my repos over from github so actually I'm some of the problem haha. :)

Yeah the gun fetish here in the USA is a bit bizarre unfortunately. :(

Haha I know I was thinking the same thing. "Long term" I wager Microsoft won't exist anymore! :)

Now that's what I call a refactor! :D ty

Whoa yeah that signup form killed the experience for me. A definite turn off. Could build a much, much simpler and elegant form.

Good idea! I'll take some today and add them to the github repo. Maybe that will be helpful. :)
