Instead of moving away from gmail (another service, making your own mail server, etc), is there a way to move out of email altogether?

Onboard every person on earth to nostr 🤔
That's pretty much it, but you lose (for a moment) spam filters and delivery reliability.
Try out Yggmail
SimpleX
You could also use Keet as a way to broadcast your newsletter instead of using email lists.
The biggest hurdle in the way of ditching email is web accounts. Almost all require an email address.
Proton is a good middle ground. Easy, cheap, and much more trustworthy than Google's system.
secure E2E voice/video calls with better calendaring is a thought
Would take a bridge between a local Nostr node and an email server so all of the emails would show up as notes. I think this would be cool.
I feel the same way. SimpleX would be the way to go, but almost nobody has it.
What if… there was an open source email relay/server that could handle incoming emails and route them to an email client, but could also function as an lnurl payment receiver and nostr identifier. This gives you a nice single player mode that can scale to multi player mode over time. Killing email won’t happen all at once so we need something in between.
Probably not. Outside of pushing more companies/people to nostr. Which will move the needle a small %.
