  • I’ve been linked this review of email service privacy previously. Obviously everyone has their own threat model and you may not agree with theirs but I think it’s worth a read for services you may be interested in (or just the summary).

    I’ve used Mailbox.org and don’t care for their interface at all, but it also matters not one bit as I use Thunderbird exclusively to interact with my mailbox, as you plan to. I haven’t had any problem with spam but I am very picky who I give that address to.

    My personal opinion is that the provider should not matter - your address should be a privately registered domain and your emails should be end-to-end encrypted. Then your mail provider is little more than a forwarding server and the most crap one is not much worse than the best.









  • I’m not 100% confident I’ve understood the assignment, but I’ve been playing with a couple of app frameworks in rust that target the Web that might be of interest to you.

    Dioxus - Reactive framework. Document markup is html with its own syntax, styling is CSS but all scripting is rust. Cross platform (web, android, ios [xcode required], linux, mac, windows) but using webviews for all of those, definitely Web first.

    slint - Reactive framework again, has its own Domain Specific Language (DSL) for markup that’s not too distant from an html/css hybrid. Simple scripting can be done in the DSL but it also ties trivially into the rust side. This does its own rendering rather than generating html documents or using a webview, I believe even when targeting the web (via wasm).

    Tauri - Gets brought up a lot when talking about web apps in rust, but I haven’t dug into it.

    If looking into any of these sounds like the sort of thing you might be after, then I suggest having a scroll through AreWeGuiYet for other rust GUI frameworks. If I remember correctly, a significant fraction of those target web technologies, althought the filters on that website have never been all that useful.
