Doesn't Quicksilver already offer this same functionality? I'm also unsure if I would use this app.
Sure, using Alfred without the power pack ctrl+space "Mail" cmd+n "person@example.com" tab(x3) "Subject" tab(x5) "Message Body" shift+cmd+d Tabs may vary.
I would have no use for the original app in the link, I mean how hard is it to just do cmd+tab and cmd+n in Mail ?
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. How sad it is to see HN get big enough to be gamed liked this...

Personally, I don't think a web page saying that you might make something, together with an e-mail signup, is news. That said, people are free to disagree (as with, e.g., Offer HN posts). I just think we need clear labeling.

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.

Exactly. Also, please realize this is just a concept and further research will be put into the it if it goes into development. A swift workflow is the biggest goal.
I disagree with the motive of lowering the friction to send email. I want to spend less time answering email by receiving less of it. Anything that makes it easier to generate more email means I will receive more email. I think using email to shoot off "quick questions" (such as the message depicted on the page) to people is an abuse of the medium - that's what Twitter and iChat are for.
Often it's a sentence fragment, such as "Can you," followed by a continuation of the sentence in the body.

I have no problems without using Alfred, Mail is always open : cmd+tab I would have no use for the original app in the link, I mean how hard is it to just do cmd+tab and cmd+n in Mail ?
