Yes, if you make it Open Source and possible to self-host it goes from DOA to definitely possible. Would have to explore more, like how it's written, the community around it, etc... before I really commit. Hopefully you can still make a living. I suspect "open source + commercially hosted" is a good model for something like this?

You are asking him to do a ton of work and commit to never charging you for anything on the off chance that you might condescend to use his software. It seems like it would be easier for you to just not evaluate new mail clients.

It is so kind of you to defend my position.

Thank you so much. I'm so happy that you understand as it can be difficult for a creator to explain such things :)

I really appreciate it!

Feedback: your pricing section was a bit confusing. It says "Pro Lite" and "Pro Plus", and both list the same long list of features. In reality it's just "Pro Monthly" and "Pro Yearly" where the only difference is you save 30%. The "Lite" and "Plus" part makes it seem like there are three plans and the Plus one has the most features/benefits...

You are so right about the pricing. It's too confusing. I will change that asap as they are the same plan, it's just that the yearly plan works out cheaper :)

Huh, I missed that it was yearly, just saw a way bigger number and assumed it was basically a donation tear.

Well, that is some feedback I will have to incorporate into the design of a new pricing table :L

You are so right! Thank you for your feedback. Changed it to "Your privacy is important. Darwin will never record, distribute or sell your personal data to any third parties."

how can we take your word for it? not sure who you are. there is no about page.

Pro Monthly and Pro Annually might make more sense or Pro Yearly or whatever.

I'm desperate for a Gmail replacement that uses the Gmail API. I'll give this a try because I didn't find any other one and the canonical Gmail web client is utterly broken, too heavy, too slow.

I don't want any enhancements, just basic email threads. Does anyone have a recommendation?

My privacy is important, that's why I'm not using Gmail. Great that you take privacy serious, but building a service that only works with Gmail doesn't really help with privacy.
