What is your business model?
Why does it look so much like Slack? :D
> Do more with less clutter, fewer clicks, less scroll, fewer tabs, fewer pages, fewer buttons, fewer ads, less mess... Looks very promising if it is really a native desktop app, but then if it is electron, then that is the equivalent to having a fixed set of Chrome tabs open with an ad-blocker on. I hope when you say 'native' that this app actually is native, otherwise it will be yet another bloated app to add to my…
It's a mix of Electron & native code (Swift). I have done so many optimizations to make it lightweight, smooth and fast. If you have an older Mac, try it on it and see how fast it is. I use Apple Mail app for my emails and for my benchmarks so far, Yack works faster and smoother than Apple Mail. Give it a try and don't forget to report back here :)
Earlier quoted context omitted.
> 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 :(
Sounds like RSS.
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?
It's a mix of Electron and native code (Swift). Focusing on perfecting the macOS version for the time being. Will release both for Linux and Windows very soon.
Is there any support for extensions like Reddit Enhancement Suite?
Keyboard Shortcuts Dark Theme Notifications Chat Curated Feeds (Curating posts across multiple networks into a single feed) Plugins for Stackoverflow & StackExchange.
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…
