I love this because when I've been down in various periods of my life, after sharing a problem with someone close, one thing they said made all the difference. This has happened to me many times after getting kind words from family and friends. I agree that this will be ruined if it gains traction, but it should be great if it remains not too well known (ironically).

This website is an absolutely brilliant resource. I've got bookmarks for a few tools that are similar to the ones in your website. But man, this is amazing! Thanks so much for sharing it.
If a phone functions properly with a SIM card (i.e gets good signal/reception), then in my opinion the user should be able to call emergency services.
This seems like an app that would have been created by the team at "The Idler" magazine (it's a monthly UK publication).
I was using Boxcryptor with OneDrive for over 5 years and once they shut it down, I moved everything back to my local SSD. This had a number of advantages, the biggest one being that I could now use MacOS search to find files at lighting speed. I’ll never go back to cloud storage for files again due to latency. As a precaution, I now back up all of my data to an external HDD daily, then to a separate one on 1st of each month. Critical financial data is archived to a BluRay on the first day of each quarter.
Completely agree. The kind of people I've encountered in non-profits and charities as an IT Sales Professional over 20 years is that they expect great products and services should be as close to free as possible. They don't seem to understand that the tax breaks and incentives are there precisely to help soften the costs of running such an organisation. To expect even MORE than that from vendors is unrealistic. I watched an interview with Naveen Jain (Viome CEO) on a podcast once and he said that a non-profit entrepreneur or CEO is more often than not "just a sh*tty entrepreneur". I couldn't agree more based on my experience selling tech since 2001!
