I doubt their intent was to state a half truth. It seems that they were making the point that nearly a year passed between 3083 and 3103.

I also deliberately disregarded the dev builds, since I don't think I'm alone in not wanting to run an unstable/bleeding edge version of a program I work with.

He's serious, it's https://nylas.com/n1 . See https://www.nylas.com/blog/splitting-the-atom (i'm not associated with them)

I just... I just love it. Can't seem to select all my mail to archive though. I have a bunch of unread mail and I would want to batch read them all.

Known bug unfortunately. It's related to how we paginate DB queries for the threadlist to make it super fast to scroll through. Hoping to fix it in the next few weeks!

We actually forked Atom and built an email app. It's worked surprisingly well!

Why a fork of Atom rather than a brand new Electron app?

We actually started building the app before Electron was released. They had just made the split to atom-shell and brightray.

Once Electron got it's footing, we migrated there. It's also easier for us to contribute upstream patches for things like touch events. (We launched swipe-to-archive a couple weeks ago.)

Atom is lagging behind Electron. It's still running on Electron v0.34.5 which was shipped in November of last year. They're trying to keep up, but the community of folks around Electron is growing fast.

If you're based in SF and interested in this, you should definitely check out the Bay Area Electron User Group: http://www.meetup.com/Bay-Area-Electron-User-Group/

For what is worth, I had the same problem with Mail.app on OSX today. Impossible to see what my unread mails were (3 unread mails lost in my 6k mails) and impossible to select all with C-A and mark everything as read.

Also another thing I'm used to in that kind of app, is scroll further than the top limit to update the list.

Nylas N1 uses a realtime streaming delta API that we developed, so there's no need to ever manually "refresh" the app. The entire data layer is a giant flux store which populates the UI immediately. More on that API here: https://nylas.com/docs/platform#deltas

We've actually considered adding this and just making it a no-op-- a placebo feature to help users transition.
