Just typing on iOS randomly inserts the wrong characters: https://youtu.be/hksVvXONrIo

I thought it was just me until someone mentioned this on HN

Same here, I've found too many bugs in Proton's email client and instead of fixing them they just release new products. FastMail support has been great, I think the developers themselves reply (some of the?) emails, going into technical details and being actually helpful.

Seconded, failing only when up against tricky issues like insecurity of their so-called secure Masked Email.

I’m a heavy user of masked emails from Fastmail. Can you expound on the insecurity you mentioned?

Appreciate the follow up!

hi

I’ve tried replacing my modal components with the <dialog> element, but had to reverse everything due to this issue: https://github.com/whatwg/html/issues/9936

In short: you can’t have an interactive popover (e.g. a toast notification) on top of a dialog modal.

I’d love to use the new native elements but we’re sadly not quite there yet.

One CSS tip: make sure the input fields have a minimum font-size of 16px. That way iOS won’t zoom-in the page when focussing one.

This works nicely: https://github.com/spotDL/spotify-downloader

Opening it in private tabs should help, at least on iOS.

Perhaps https://zorin.com/os/ might be a nice distro for your customers. It has 2 UI options: one that is close to macOS and one that looks more like Windows.

I’ve been having the same idea for a while. I think it would be a great way to let them prioritize the stability a bit more by publicly displaying how shamefully the UI behaves.

Interested in collaborating on this? Perhaps a simple open-source static blog built with Astro?

I used to love Proton, but they focus too much on feature development instead of stability and fixing long-standing bugs. E.g. zooming has been broken for years in ProtonMail on iOS. Some emails won’t even render at all :(

Yup, i quit Proton (Mail) for the same reason. I had been using it for a long time… There are so many little bugs and annoyances, it’s frustrating to see new features being released all the time while obvious bugs and shortcomings are not fixed.

It was a very big relief going back to a normal email client.

I still support Proton (i pay for Proton VPN) and hope they will succeed in their mission.

FWIW, I have not had any issues with email rendering in the iOS app so YMMV. Have not noticed any zooming problems.

I remember years ago I lost some random videos on iCloud (synced via the Photos app). The filenames were there but they couldn't be opened anymore and seemed corrupt. Since then I never trusted iCloud anymore and switched to Syncthing (which back then also messed up some of my data if I recall correctly) and then Nextcloud.
