A small place on the web

I wanted a small place on the web that I could understand and maintain myself.

There is no feed to optimise and no platform to satisfy. Just pages, links, and words. That is enough for a beginning.

Why I chose Forward Email

Encryption

One of my main requirements is proper OpenPGP support for end-to-end encrypted email.

That alone rules out Tuta Mail, since it does not support OpenPGP. Emails between Tuta users are encrypted, but when emailing someone outside Tuta, the only encrypted option is to send them a password-protected message.

That approach has two major problems:

You need to exchange the password through another secure channel beforehand.
The recipient has to open a link and enter the password on a page served by Tuta. This means trusting both Tuta’s server and whatever JavaScript it sends to the browser at that moment.

That level of trust impairs much of the point of end-to-end encryption.
