We are sorry to hear about your experiences.
1. Currently, the EasySwitch doesn't support import from Fastmail, which may be why you experienced the issue. We would be interested to hear more details about tose issues, so please report them to us here: https://proton.me/support/contact.
2. We are not sure if you are aware but now Proton includes SimpleLogin too, which allows you to create an unlimited number of aliases and also user reverse aliases: https://simplelogin.io/. Here's how you can set up a SimpleLogin account with an existing Proton Mail account: https://proton.me/support/create-simplelogin-account-proton-....
3. We'll pass this feedback along to the Proton Mail Bridge team.
4. We can confirm that the Proton Drive Windows app is coming quite soon. Please report the issues you experienced with the web app to us: https://proton.me/support/contact.
Regarding support, note that the usual response times are 24 hours, but longer during the weekends when we work with a reduced capacity. We've been constantly hiring and training our agents in order to improve this. Additionally, if you have a particular example of a misunderstanding with the support team, we'd like to look into it and investigate.
While we may not been actively moderating our Uservoice channel, we do use it to inform our development decisions. Many of the recently shipped additions to the Proton Mail web and iOS apps have been decided on thanks to the feedback on Uservoice.
We understand the frustration with how the catch-all works right now. The team is aware of it and looking into ways to improve it in the future.
You can maybe try SimpleLogin. It's open source and can be self hosted (I have no idea how difficult or not this is). Proton acquired them and integrated the product into their own.

Changing your email address
Several websites only accept "valid" domains and won't accept lesser known email domains such as simplelogin.io
Thank you for relying on us! You also don't need to use Gmail and Outlook when subscribing to "random stuff" - you can still use Proton, but connect it with SimpleLogin, and generate a unique address every time you need to subscribe. More on that here: https://simplelogin.io/ and on the r/Simplelogin subreddit.

Looking for help in GPL project
The point is not about ideological debates, making money from GPL software is purely a practical business decision. Many people are doing it, see e.g. https://reacher.email/ (written in Rust btw).
-
Ask HN: Those with money-making side projects,how did you come up with the idea?
I started with open-source.
I initially created https://github.com/reacherhq/check-if-email-exists, after some years it got to ~50 stars and nice overall feedback, that's when I thought of a SaaS wrapper on top of it.
So a possible path is "idea -> open-source -> monetize". I find the first arrow to be easier to execute than a direct idea to monetization leap.

Ask HN: Those making $500/month on side projects in 2021 – Show and tell
I run an open-source [1] email verification API, called Reacher. I managed to hit 10k ARR this year (1st year).
It's written in Rust, self-hostable, and does not use a DB of emails (like some competitors do).

Check If Email Exist
GitHub issues like this one warm my heart:
https://github.com/reacherhq/check-if-email-exists/issues/91
Identifying something that needs doing, especially when you have no idea how to do it, is a bold skill.
Too often have I seen engineers be reluctant to open an issue because they don’t know how to implement it, technically. I still do it, myself. If you need it then you’ll find a way.
The converse is also true: losing focus by filing tasks and procrastinating on features because you know how to build them, not because you actually need them to move your business / project forward.
If you want to know the "how?" as I did - code is here, specifically https://github.com/reacherhq/check-if-email-exists/blob/mast...
tl;dr, According to RFC 5321, `RCPT TO` command succeeds with 250 and 251. So email is valid if you get to this part of the protocol and receive the response.
On your site (https://reacher.email) it shows "Open-Source" next to the MIT logo. To any reasonable person, that means "it's licensed under the MIT license". Instead, it's licensed under the AGPL. It would be good if you changed it to remove the implication that it was MIT licensed.
That's what this project does too: https://github.com/reacherhq/check-if-email-exists/blob/a052...
This feels like a service that would be used by shoddy email marketers and spammers to reduce the number of bad emails they send, so that they can avoid being blocked. Their home page (https://reacher.email/) mentions lists uses like cleaning "large lists", which comes off to me as code for "send mail of dubious quality without tripping alarms".
