#2Super nice, but I worry about the slower webkit in webview. If it is much slower, you would get a better experience in the browser, despite the nice UI additions in this app.

#3I think this is brilliant. There may be concerns about speed, but I think that for now the convenience and features should overcome that.

#4Hmm. Dunno if it was syncing, or what, but it just sat there consuming CPU (170% across both cores) for a while. Finally killed it.

#5This is fantastic and solves a huge pain point. Google docs is a crutch for most people, but the interface and accessing it is generally terrible. The onboarding was simple. This is a good start, I'm looking forward to what you guys do next. As for feature requests, I'd like to see collapsible sidebars, the real estate on the editing is a bit small. Good luck guys!

#6I know that this isn't really related to the application, but anyway...
Please, don't let the browser scale the images for you. I don't like opening a site, and seeing something like this (http://sadpanda.us/images/1078451-DUYING8.png).
Beside that, this client seems something really awesome, especially the ability to easily edit docs from different accounts.

#7This is awesome. Are there any plans to port this to other platforms?
Re: Show HN: Collections, a fast multiple-account Google Docs client for Mac
#8Great! All I felt was lacking were some options on how to sort the documents in the sidebar.

#9A desktop client for a web app that replaced a desktop client. Amazing!

#10I love it. I have three different Google accounts I use for docs and being able to not have to open up a new tab just to see the other docs is worth the download. The only thing I'd want is a little bit less agnosticism about which docs belong to which accounts.
