PGP
RainLoop uses the old OpenPGP.js v2
SnappyMail v2.12 uses OpenPGP.js v5, GnuPG and Mailvelope.
SnappyMail is able to use and generate ECDSA and EDDSA keys, where RainLoop does not.
Since SnappyMail tries to achieve the best mobile experience, it forked OpenPGP.js to strip it down.
remove all unused Node.js
remove all old browsers support
See https://github.com/the-djmaze/openpgpjs for development

Squire vs CKEditor
The Squire implementation is not 100% compatible yet, but it shows the massive overhead of CKEditor.
