But the website and app UX for their credit card is awful. Everything is a hassle.
Namely, that Australia (where Fastmail is based) passed laws that require all Australian companies to give any/all data on their users to the Australian government, and are not allowed to publicly disclose what is given.
Not that Google is any better.
If you want a privacy-focused email that "just works" consider Protonmail or Tutanota. Alternatively, if you're feeling bold, you can self-host your own email like I do, but I wouldn't recommend it unless you're in it for the fun of it!
Is the move just to get a remote job in the US and work overnight across the world? Try to get a SWE job in every new country I go to?
Anyone have any advice?
That being said, really really hoping for your success! It finally fills a MUCH needed gap in 2021 consumer image viewing software.
There are many many gaps in it right now. Synology is basically the only self-hosted photo solution that grandma could use. Honestly surprised that more people aren't taking advantage of the opportunity.
I currently have a self-hosted google photos clone and I only paid for the hardware. Highly recommend.
