There's a lot of shit that adds up. Booze is a serious killer. Cigarettes are goddamn expensive. Clothes pile up in cost...

Jesus fucking fuck fuck. Fucking what?? Just an example that if you swear, things are never boring. Fuck.

Money totally buys full life, wow, you're right.

You deserve a hug.

Fucking bravo. A sane, respectful response. :)

Good luck homy.

OMG intercourse and parental approval all in one???

Seriously. Wtf with all these threatened responses, projections of the realizations of their sad silly lives.

Oh yeah, oops, I totally just did that.

Most shallow comment... but what's the font they're using for freeandopen ?

'Open sans' apparently. http://www.google.com/webfonts/specimen/Open+Sans

Open sans is the body copy, not the hashtag text. My wild guess is something from the Droid/Droid Sans family.

Looks like a custom font based on GarageFonts' Metroflex Narrow: http://www.myfonts.com/fonts/garagefonts/metroflex-narrow/ob...

Open source the app. There's a huge lacking in good web based open source mail clients. Fill it. Offer a pay-for premium hosted version. Have us pay for service, not software.

If you released this, assuming it doesn't suck balls, I'd be running it immediately. I'm currently using Rackspace for my email hosting; check them out. They're good, good be better. ;)

Haha, thanks for your frank words. I actually like your idea for 2 reasons:

1) OpenSource would definitely improve the quality of the app while still maintaining a way to profit from my work.

2) Finally giving back to OpenSource. Always felt kinda bad I haven't contributed much to a great community.

There is definatly a lot of service you could provide even if the app is open source. As GP said, hosting and infrastructure, but also better spam filtering, taking not get and remove domains from spam lists (SPF, DomainKeys, checking your domain and custom domains against spam lists and notifying the owner, &c).

Also, a nice export to S3 or a tar.gz or something would be nice if you were a private service.

I already backup all incoming mail as JSON on my Dropbox and plan to do the same periodically as MBOX. I'm not entirely sure what to do with the JSON, though. It's a "leftover" from my first prototype, where I stored ALL DATA on Dropbox.

Agreed, I'd also be running this immediately if it was open source.

completely agree. I think if you were to open source this and did it right you could get an enormous community behind it.
