Do you want to use this? Given your focus on privacy it seems odd to use a closed cloud service provider

I would use this, seems like a really useful tool.

Alternatives are great but maybe add some "use at own privacy risk"-feeling label to it (if added).

Alright, I have to ask: what does value add does this have that using Office 365 from a web browser doesn't?

A web page wrapper, that adds no further value other than “convenient desktop shortcut” or “tray icon”, is NOT eligible for inclusion. Web browsers already support desktop notifications.

Yea no, this is literally just a web wrapper with no value add. Just open up another tab.

I think this was closed a bit too quickly. If re-opened, I'll add my thoughts to it.
