Technically you’re not wrong. But phreeli and calyx exist too though, so its hard to say.
I’m not sure what you mean by DIY, how do you diy your own telco network? Currently I’m doing my best but it takes multiple services and gives me suboptimal results. That’s part of the appeal here.
Skepticism is welcomed, as is your comment. But I’m not sure where to go from there.
So you want SMS inside of their app? That’s one of the features I like, that I’m not tied to their app. Messaging and calls are handled through my standard phone apps. The Cape app is for account management and settings, and the secondary SMS numbers.
Oh, that is actually a negative I came across. The secondary numbers don’t notify outside of the app. So that limits how they can be used - basically if you are expecting a OTA code then go look. But in their defense that feature is currently a beta test.
Speeds are OK. Nothing to scream at but also nothing where I noticed an issue. I have yet yo try to consume media on it though. My speed test came back at 10 Mbps but that’s what my other carrier is giving me.
Yes RCS is on the roadmap for this year. So hokdin breath there. I want it, but don’t currently have it so its clearly not a deal breaker to me.
Yes the shortcoming is always with the weakest link.
But most of my mail is inbound, so I have control over that. Plus I created sieve filters to automatically tag and organize my mail, including deletion of unimportant stuff like newsletters. Top that with a personal domain and I have everything how I like it.
Anecdotally, in the many years I’ve been with Proton I’ve gotten maybe 2 or 3 spam emails, and they went to the spam folder.
At least they acknowledge that cookie consent does nothing and paywalls are ridiculous.
Thanks for sharing. I’ve not yet delved into reading it in depth but appreciate your goals and the fact that you documented it all.
I hear you. That does seem like the ideal scenario. I don’t think Cape will ever go there but the future isn’t written. I never thought I’d see a company like Cape in the first place, so there’s hope (however much of a tiny sliver it is).
