Anyone reading this in 2020 or later: AVOID COIL. They do not have proper processes in place to protect data. They just sent a big 'ol privacy policy email out, and exposed every single user's email address in the To: field. This is no small error: it amounts to the same damage as a comprehensive data breach.

I just deleted my account, and I strongly advise everyone else to do the same.

Odd that this is supported on the backend of dev.to -- when I click "Learn More" it takes me to this article...

That's why I commented here. I was using Coil. That's how I found out about the aforesaid breach...I was included on that email.
