Beautiful landing page. I think it's worth clarifying up front whether you support gmail or if this is just a facade for Mail.app. It's not quite clear who the target market for this is. Otherwise - looks amazing.
But yeah, looking good other than that.
How sad it is to see HN get big enough to be gamed liked this...
I don't mind this sort of marketing most of the time. I do mind that you're abusing "Show HN." People generally use this "tag" to ask for advice which is so generously offered here. By using it as a part of your marketing ploy you're reducing the usefulness of the said tag and stealing from the trust the community has built for eachother over time.

Meanwhile, the body of the text has to do with meeting for dinner and the subject has to do with the baseball game tomorrow.
So, that was my first question. How are we skipping the subject line? Oh, it builds it off of your text! Wait, it doesn't seem like it did? Maybe he is only sh owing the 2nd paragraph? No idea.... That was my stream of consciousness.
Other than that, I don't have a mac, but don't really find writing emails on my windows box cumbersome. Is the mac email app that problematic?
Sadly, this app doesn't exist. If you think it should and write cool Mac apps, email me, or message me on Twitter. I'm Moeed, by the way.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
I mean "selling a product that doesn't exist yet to test the market". Can't find the links though...
Moeed isn't selling anything - he's testing a concept before spending a lot of time creating it. That's not unethical - it's smart. My first thought when seeing this - I WANT IT. I'll buy a license as soon as it's available. The only way this could've been executed better is with an opt-in to be notified via e-mail when it's available.
Thanks for the kind words! You also had some great advice and now there is a email opt-in form on the website.
A few people have showed interest already, so QuickSend just might see light of day!
Cheers everyone!
Notice the small footnote: Sadly, this app doesn't exist. If you think it should and write cool Mac apps, email me, or message me on Twitter. I'm Moeed, by the way.
Whenever I have a choice between keyboard shortcut vs menu bar clicking, keyboard shortcut always win.
If QuickSend window shows up ala LightBox via keyboard shortcut (with the same UI and all its promises) however...
and if the price is right, I might buy it (but it needs to be able to handle multiple email accounts).

Is he getting it? In spades!
Is he making money off of it? I don't see how he could, with an unbuilt app.
I see no marketing ploy here, just a clever app that I would love to see come to fruition.
