Dear Skiff Community,

We are excited to share that Skiff is joining Notion.

Skiff's mission is to bring freedom to the internet by helping people collaborate and communicate with freedom and privacy. We see a deep alignment with Notion’s vision to build a connected workspace and enable everyone to build tools that reflect their values.

We’re extremely excited to accelerate our mission by joining forces with Notion’s world-class team. We sincerely hope that the Skiff community will join us for this next stage of our journey. We’re pursuing big plans for making all of our online lives freer and more empowered, and these plans will carry forward directly the ambitions we’ve strived for alongside the Skiff community.

As we begin to shift focus to our shared efforts with Notion, we will be closing down Skiff's product suite after a 6-month sunset period We are deeply appreciative of the trust users have extended to us, and we are committed to honoring that trust by ensuring that all data on Skiff is easily exportable. For the next 6 months, Skiff services will continue to operate without disruption, and users can freely duplicate, migrate, or export data. You can now also set up a forwarding address to redirect mail to any other provider.

Our commitment to privacy and security is unchanged. All user data remains end-to-end encrypted, and Skiff products will never monetize your data. Accounts and data on Skiff will not be converted into Notion accounts.

We encourage you to export your data and migrate custom domains within the next 6 months. We’ve prepared this guide to make that process as easy as possible. For any other questions, our support team is readily available via the in-app “Send feedback” option or at support@skiff.org.

The Skiff community has lifted, inspired, and energized us at every step. We are humbled by your support and we apologize for any disappointment or inconvenience this change may cause you. We remain as committed as ever to bringing about the vision for a better internet that brought us together. Thank you for being part of the Skiff family, and we look forward to continuing to serve you with our future efforts.

Sincerely, Skiff Team

God fucking damn it. I finally find something to replace Google docs, get all my fucking work into it, and they shut it down. I will never have anything to do with any of these flakes again.

Anyone recommend a replacement?

Have you considered self-hosting? Nextcloud is a great alternative to stuff like Google docs, etc...

[-] Midnight1938@reddthat.com 1 points 9 months ago

Everything has a replacement. Except their custom domain option

[-] JustEnoughDucks@feddit.nl 1 points 9 months ago

Well if you selfhost it you can use your own custom domain via reverse proxy

[-] Midnight1938@reddthat.com 1 points 9 months ago

Would you happen to have a blog or tutorial i could read?

[-] shiftymccool@lemm.ee 1 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

I don't have anything specific, self-hosting is a big subject. I recommend checking out https://lemmy.world/c/selfhosted / !selfhosted@lemmy.world There's a lot of helpful folks over there

Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !selfhosted@lemmy.world

[-] lemmyreader@lemmy.ml 1 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

What do you mean with custom domain option ? Email providers like mailbox.org, Tuta, Proton, Zoho and hosting providers (e.g. Gandi) can let you use a custom domain email for email. Or do you mean your own webmail custom domain login page ?

[-] Midnight1938@reddthat.com 2 points 9 months ago

They do, but not for "free". Plus zoho wasnt as reliable

A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.
