You can encrypt all you want, and it won't matter if Apple is just going to hand it over by way of the notification contents.
This part isn't true. It depends on each individual app and how they handle sending push notifications. Signal only sends empty messages that trigger Signal to fetch data and rewrite the empty push notification to display the actual message contents, so the messages never pass through Apple/Google servers.
Apps can also send an encrypted message through Apple servers and then the phone locally decrypts that message and writes the decrypted message into the notification. Here's the documentation for that.
Best of luck with your pursuit though; I can respect a desire for privacy.

Only downsides are no thunderbolt docks and that touch ID doesn't work.
CoMaps has worked without any problems for foot navigation for me so far. This might have been a GPS or fused location provider issue. It could theoretically also be an issue with the map data (it...
I've tried my best to set up something workable with CoMaps. I tried to use it recently for the first time for walking directions (which is my favorite and most-used mode of travel), and it seemed to think I was several blocks away from where I was. I tried to trust it and turned around before realizing I actually hadn't gone far enough. I frequently walk places I've never been to before, so navigation is pretty important to me. I could use Google Maps, but that's counterproductive.

It could theoretically also be an issue with the map data (it uses OpenStreetMap data). But that is pretty unlikely.
Thanks for the feedback. I made this change recently to try to diverge more from web design trends, give the site more character, and to try to evoke technology of the past, but you've validated...

I've reverted it, so if you feel like trying again, you might find it more palatable. Maybe not though. I might have misinterpreted the problem you were having with it. 😅 I have removed the scanlines and the rolling refresh rate mismatch bar, so if that's your issue, it may work for you now.

I’ve only read your more recent version, but for me the background pattern with lots of shapes underneath made it hard to read, even though it was darkened.

Sorry, but the website's design is giving me significant eye pain and thus I can't really read this.

It is awful right? I used Firefox's read view and it fixed the issue. That font is a travesty.

Makes sense. I'll try to improve that. Thank you!
Yeah, it's a lot better now. Thanks!

I see. I'll work on it. Thanks for taking the time to comment!
