Spend less time writing emails and more time doing what you really want.

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.

Per the footer note: "Sadly, this app doesn't exist. If you think it should and write cool Mac apps, email me, or message me on Twitter."

The morality of doing this type of stuff has been discussed before.

I like it. I hope this gets built.

Unfortunately, there's not really any more room in my menu bar. http://cl.ly/4vlI

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.

most desktop mail apps will open a new message window at the touch of a hotkey. what's the point of this?
