Hey OP, you might want to replace the "stolen" Tim Ferris testimonial for Highrise on the landingpage.

Incidentally, that's somewhat what I've been building since my recent submission: Show HN: A personal Gmail. ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4804690 ) I learned a lot from H…

Hey thanks. I make extensive use of http://twitter.github.com/bootstrap/ (a godsend for hackers), though I use it more as a style-guide and rebuild most parts myself. and for icons…

It's an actual app I've been using for a week now. Apart from the local dev database (wouldn't want to show my actual incoming emails), that's how it looks right now in my browser.…

I already backup all incoming mail as JSON on my Dropbox and plan to do the same periodically as MBOX. I'm not entirely sure what to do with the JSON, though. It's a "leftover" fro…

Thanks for the kind words. Actually: Most of the points you raise have been solved. MailGun has (as far as i can tell after a week of usage) a great spam filter and supports IMAP. …

Absolutely. I'm quite happy with how it looks (thanks btw), but such a mission critical app requires a well though-out backend. I'm not even sure that hosting the data myself (on h…

As a quick intermission: This is a GREAT discussion regarding the state of webmail. Although my app clearly isn't "there yet" (regarding going public), I'm having a great time read…

Fair enough :)

Done. I've only been lurking & upvoting until now, so thanks for the heads up.

I'm with you. I have had a few questions/issues during development and the live-support was simply brilliant. Meanwhile I switched 2 of my Rails apps from Sendgrid to MailGun.

I like your idea as it would eliminate a few of my "bottlenecks". I will check out if a chrome plugin might just do that, OR even see how http://www.streak.com/ accomplished their …

This is actually my biggest concern, so no offense taken: Despite Google's privacy policy and ad behaviour (yadda yadda), they ARE still a trustworthy company, regarding uptime , b…

Haha, thanks for your frank words. I actually like your idea for 2 reasons: 1) OpenSource would definitely improve the quality of the app while still maintaining a way to profit fr…

Spot on. The app currently is quite egocentric, how I would like to read/organize my mails. If there is a small niche, who'd like to work the same way AND pay for it, I'd seriously…

I pointed out further down, that my initial prototype ran completely on Dropbox. Right now, I backup all incoming mail instantly to Dropbox in JSON format for backup purposes. I mi…

Right, I totally understand that the people who leave Gmail for privacy concerns, most likely would host their own mail.

1) Considering the hosting: It's currently basically a SaaS. I initially had a prototype, which used Dropbox-as-a-Database. Basically I stored all emails and metadata (labels, etc)…

Hey guys, so I've been building my own Gmail for the past few weeks and would like your feedback. Find a preview here: http://i.imgur.com/UDz2y.png (Mouse cursor is over the "REPLY…
