dhruvb14··on I've spent the last two years building a new email client
I find it crazy that everyone is harping on Electron instead of the cool features that this clearly has that most clients do not. Demo looked pretty polished dude. Don't let the typical HN crowd rain on your parade. The fact that you posted an actual product out to the public is more than most can say.

Also: If you can't spare Max 300MB ram and you are complaining on HN wtf computer do you use?

dhruvb14··on Windows for Linux Nerds
For anyone wanting to automate using boxstarter and chocolatey without finding all the packages manually I created this GUI about a year back.

It has a search bar to search chocolatey's repository automatically.

It has search and allows you to save the GIST straight to github and then invoke installer straight from website. Uses cookies to store script on machine so you can come back to it and add/remove more.

Was a quick 2-3 hour job so it may have bugs

I wish they would fix thread locks when syncing exchange accounts with slow internet. Been able to reproduce it super easily and recorded it on video but no output in system logs.

Not a lawyer but thats what i would do too.
dhruvb14··on Ask HN:Does the Android Facebook app has access to Chrome search terms?
If i remember correctly on Android to render html links and not make you leave the application there is an API for them to use chrome as the rendering engine. So i would assume since it uses Chrome's rendering engine it should also have access to chromes cookies....

Just a guess
