Ambitious project. Good luck :-)

- Will Akasha leverage existing social graphs (fbook, twitter, email, phone)?

- Does Akasha plan to interoperate with any of them?

- Why is a blockchain needed? What aspect of decentralized publishing does this solve? Verifiability of content? Pub/sub relationships?

Read the update on Isis' blog post!

Interesting about Hemingway. A couple years ago, I remember the declassification of how FBI tried to convince MLK Jr. to kill himself quite disturbing

With stuff like this going on, people who work on controversial (but important software like Tor) need support from the larger tech community

Really cool project! As CloudFleet was one of the first backers of Mailpile (disclaimer, I co-founded it), I've always loved their concept and am stoked it's coming to light :)

Lol, so true!

"Maybe it's too complex of an idea" a very interesting / perhaps telling remark from one of the designers

Damn well said!!! Thanks ;)

"Terrorist guilty until proven otherwise" horrifying stuff!

I've used an early prototype of this, it is absolutely wonderful for visualization / prototyping / wireframing!

Glad ya like it :)

As the designer / UX guy of Mailpile- to me is how difficult it is to intelligently sort & render the vast array of differing types of email (conversations, lists, receipts, newsletters, notifications, etc...)!

Yes, this is going to be developed further. There is some existing code. We will be publishing a roadmap + how this factors into it, soon!

Good feedback. Some are already ideas we like. Some are more easily doable than others.

> Will there be a mode where no icons are lacking a textual description?

Not currently planned. If enough people demand this it could happen!

> Can I see single messages instead of having the whole thread loaded?

This is neat. I'd love to implement it.

> Is there a design that uses less whitespace?

There is a "Display" dropdown for the Search view that does have different versions with less whitespace. We might expand this elsewhere

> Is there a classic "tree on the left, list on the top, message at the bottom" layout?

Not exactly sure I understand. Wanna file a Github issue with a screenshot? :) If I do understand, yes, we'd like to offer this sort of view as well!

We posted a few projects on our downloads page https://www.mailpile.is/download/ they're coming along!

We haven't put much effort into mobile yet. I will be doing that before 1.0 though :)

Core team designer here. Ask me design / UX questions & ideas :)

Looks very promising and like a great upgrade from CodeKit 1.0 of which I've been a happy user for the last 1.5 years. The creator has provided excellent support every time I contact him.

I LOVE the sense of humor in the testimonials section... LULz

My one concern is does CK 2.0 create standard config files for Bower, Grunt, etc... CK 1.0 did NOT do this and made collaborating with non Mac / non CK users difficult!

Really cool man. Definitely like IndieWeb's POSSE style publishing http://indiewebcamp.com/POSSE Nice looking app :)

Brennan here from the team. Yes, one can ask that question "Why not use [INSERT SEARCH / DATASTORE]" the answer is a quirky story about the birth of a neat software project, if you're curious check out our blog, site, videos, etc... Re: performance here is our current stats https://github.com/pagekite/Mailpile/wiki/Mailpile%27s-Perfo...

Mailpile does not help deal with postfix or exim. We have various plans to make the whole "email" pipeline easier + secure + cooler down the line!

Really glad we seem to be delivering and making so many of our backers happy- thanks for your support :)

No exact pointers, as none of us are Yahoo / Out look users- we'll happily add any quirks you discover to our wiki https://github.com/pagekite/Mailpile/wiki/Getting-started

Glad ya like what we are doing, thanks :)

Thanks so much, glad you like what we're doing :)

Yah! We had keyboard shortcuts but they got commented out before alpha- will be re-implementing soon :)

Mailpile does indexing so as to be able to do complex searching of one's mail index. We include a Python "web" server that renders our search engine's result in the web UI, however one can use Mailpile strictly via the CLI.

Brennan here from the team. Mailpile is just a user agent. The app talks to GnuPG for crytpo. We follow the unix philosophy as much as it makes sense, but for the overall experience of an MUA that is easily searchable + allows sending encrypted mail, but also offers a modern web app interface- there must be a certain size + scope of project :)

Yah, this is precisely why currently there is more fading than we'd like. We want to evolve to something that behaves like a single page app yet gracefully degrades to non-JS users for read only browsing- thus takes a bit more time to think & iterate on it!

Gotcha. I personally like having all emails (in a thread) fully expanded, but due to pushback from other ppl with "vertical space" and time to scroll I had to go this other route. We will most likely at an "Expand All" link to the top of the thread!

Brenann (Mailpile designer) here. Thanks for the note and feedback. Good eye- it is a reworking of Museo (due to their license being non compatible with GPL/Apache). Our font is still being developed, the x-width & kerning are far from done and on our radar. After the font is fully done, if the spacing still irks enough people (and ourselves) we'll revisit how and where we're using it! :)
