Great! All I felt was lacking were some options on how to sort the documents in the sidebar.

Right click in the list of documents and you'll see the option to sort by title, date created and date last modified. Let me know if this is helpful.

An icon to access the sort menu would make the interface a little easier to use. Context meus are nice, but they should be a shortcut to an action rather than the only way to trigger it.

I also noticed that the search box only searches document titles. It would be nice to have it filter document titles as you type, and then perform a full-text search when the user hits enter (like Google's online Drive search).

Awesome app, keep up the good work!

Earlier quoted context omitted.

FATAL: too many connections for role "ruwdncbzdkulsh"

Yep, same here... Appears that the app is getting limited on it's connections to google.

Super nice, but I worry about the slower webkit in webview. If it is much slower, you would get a better experience in the browser, despite the nice UI additions in this app.

Why would an embedded web view be slower than Safari on a Mac? Mac OS doesn't have the restrictions on generated code that iOS does.

He should use this exact phrase on the website. Sarcastic marketing FTW.

I won't pretend I'm not tempted.

Reminds me very much of javelin.js's tone. If Facebook engineers can do it, why can't you? https://github.com/facebook/javelin/

Ah. Yes, that was precisely what I was looking for. It wasn't very obvious though, so you might want to add some more visual ways to make the user aware that the option exists.
