Mac only? Isn't this built with Electron? Why not have a Linux version? Or is this just for the cool kids in the exclusive Apple community?
this "desktop app" somehow doesn't want to run on my linux desktop?

> You mean like a browser? I can see this being a nice alternative to a few browser options for checking the latest across multiple sites. Pinned tabs, "Open All" bookmark folder, loose tabs, etc. Not ideal, imo, so having them all in one place and unified under a single UI might be kind of nice. Can't really speak to the UI though since this is unfortunately macOS only :(
Really like the concept--I think you're on to something in creating a unified UI for all these similar services. But..getting into the beta was a giant PITA. 1. Enter email 2. Check email 3. Download client 4. Go back to email, copy code 5. Paste code 6. Go back to email, click sign in link 7. Browser asks if it's ok to open Yack 8. Create profile in Yack (at this point I bounced) Honestly, just let me download the b…
Hey, thanks for the feedback. Will consider making the Yack profile optional. For the beta version it was necessary because the app has a "Feedback" community, which is built on top of Discourse - This is where users provide feedback and report bugs. Thought about creating a subreddit on Reddit for feedback/bug reports but for users who are on HN or YT, it was necessary to have Yack's own community. Creating Yack pro…
There are other ways to collect feedback than a Discourse instance. Why not just stand up a contact form, Twitter account, or email address?
If anything, the biggest inadvertent feature is that its resemblance to Slack means you can browse those things at work and look like you're being productive.
great idea, definitely seems like something I would use.
Looks incredible!

Would second that this should be optional ASAP. I understand your need and desire to collect feedback but I don't think it's a great idea to require users to create a profile for something that is a client.
