Can you get rid of the window.alert() calls please. Annoying enough to make me stop reading.

Hmm, I had some alert() calls in there a few hours ago for testing, but I thought I took them all out (just double checked). What does the alert say?

Something like:

    [object Object]

    Glider, the smart inbox

    http://glider.io
Or:

    [object Object]

    Glider, how it works

Ahh, those are from the History.js pushstate functions. What browser are you using?

Firefox 3.6. (Yes, I know it's old, it's the default browser in Ubuntu 10.04 LTS.)

Firefox 3.6. (Yes, I know it's old, it's the default browser in Ubuntu 10.04 LTS.)

...and now I've been upgraded to Firefox 9(!) and the alerts no longer happen.

Neat. Glad there are still people not treating email as a solved problem. I tossed my address in for an invite.. Meanwhile.. Is there a security whitepaper or writeup somewhere? Handing over the keys to your email account isn't something I'm eager to do without some confidence in your product :) [Edit] Also... please paste the "if sender == 'pg@ycombinator.com':" condition that I want to believe is in your codebase.

Security is one of our top concerns, and we're looking into different ways to make it as airtight as possible. We'll have more info on security before we launch. At the moment, we're integrating through GMail through their API, so you can revoke access at any time, and we never see your password.

but you must still store the emails in your own database correct? or do you never store them at all?
