N1: An extensible mail client built on the modern web

By which time I may have forgotten about the product. :(

Seems like simultaneous release is the way to go, so that you don't waste your time in the spotlight with a product applicable to less than 10% of the desktop/laptop market.

I'm sure there are more Mac users on HN than globally. But for what Windows users are here, it still puts us off to be made feel that we're considered to be second class customers, with delayed feature releases on Windows, permanently missing features, etc.

Finally, from the FAQ:

>Why is search sometimes slow?

This is a key problem. If you want to be competitive, search can't be slow, especially if you're hosting your own server solution. You're competing against the Gmail client, where search is pretty much instant. Yes, Google is the king of search. But you need to find a solution that fixes this problem or you're dead in the water, IMO.

First of all, congrats for shipping, and thank you for your work. I'm currently hacking something based on your inbox-scaffold-html5 project. You're clearly very talented, but I have one question. Is there any chance of you ditching coffee script for something more sane like plan ES6 or even better TypeScript? Aside from Github and you guys I don't know anyone still backing that horse. There's just too much people (myself included) that consider it unreadable.

You might want to fix your privacy page. It says 'HIPPA' ready when it should be HIPAA ready.

Would it make sense to run the Client + Server on my laptop? Will you package a version of the Client that includes the server?

What I really want is a replacement for Thunderbird. Thunderbird does not ask me to run a server anywhere else. Will N1 do that?

I'm sure the bulk of HN users won't want to use your hosted server solution.
