Ask HN: Review my app: dmbox.in
Long:
I'm a smartphone power user (I roam between a BB, an iPhone and some other gadgets) and also a twitter power user. I use twitter direct messages as an evolution of the traditional SMS (love push mail). It's awesome to have the same messaging platform available from almost everywhere.
This service (http://dmbox.in) requires you to link your twitter account (OAuth) and to fill your email, then mails to you your direct messages to you in a timely fashion. You can send an answer to that DM by just replying to the email.
It's quite simple, but also fast. Polling is done asynchronously using node.js, the whole thing is mostly PHP-backed (okay, not the best language out there, but I'm pretty good at it). The point is to be non-invasive and be used from any mobile phone or desktop client (and in this case doesn't requires you to change your twitter email address, while staying almost real-time).
Any suggestions? Insults? :-)
