Skiff Drive and Skiff Mail [0] and their use of ENS [1] and other naming systems is interesting. Endaoment is also another useful web3 project. [2]

Skiff is exactly the type of service that uses crypto and chains for no reason.

Its essentially gmail/docs alternative that e2e encrypts the content and saves them on their servers. Services like protonmail have been working like that forever.

I am not saying its not a good product just that it doesnt require blockchain at all. They slap it on there to use it and get hype but thats all.
