This project has been a labor of love for me over the last 2.5 years. I'm interested in any feedback you have, and happy to answer any questions!

Do you know about Sandstorm and its app market?

Sandstorm is an interesting idea.

The design is so ugly, though...

I did not, thanks for the info. Looks interesting.

I am impressed with the 100% code coverage [1] of your project. It would be cool to have the installation instructions [2] in a Vagrant or Docker script, or as someone else suggested, a Heroku button. I like the website, very clean and most possible questions regarding the license, security, tests, and such are addressed in an easy-to-access section, very good, something that many other HN featured projects lack. Thanks for your work.

Wow, thanks for the kind words! I submitted this last night hoping to drum up some support for the project. I never dreamed it would be on the front page when I woke up!

It looks nice, but may I suggest a couple more screenshots and/or GIFs to really showcase it (email edit/compose view, RSS reader view, etc).

As a marketer it kills me the amount of cool projects whose adoption may be hurt by a lack of a couple extra screenshots.

I appreciate the suggestion, and will get a screenshot page added to the site. In the meantime, here are a few blog posts with more shots:

Looks very nice.

Was about to ask about support for 2-factor authentication, then saw this:

  Support for 2 factor authentication with any TOTP compatible
  authenticator app

A quick-setup page might help.

Why GPL v2?

I felt that it most accurately represented my intentions for the software.

I use rainloop currently on a Cloudron. Would be great to have this as a cloudron.io app! (It's just based on Docker)
