As a user, I've been loving Nylas Mail/N1. I hope the project lives on in some usable form - the blog post mentioned Nylas Mail Lives and Mailspring, which I'll have to take a close look at.
(I came to Nylas after Dropbox finally killed off Mailbox. I seem to have a good track record of falling in love with desktop email clients which then die...)
- bengotow 9y agoHey thanks! I used to work on Nylas Mail at Nylas and I'm the author of the Mailspring fork. It's definitely sad to see this post, but Nylas has remained committed to open source and I think they've done this right. Relicensing everything under MIT ensures the product will have a bright future, even though Nylas has better opportunities it needs to pursue for it's employees and investors. Would love for you to check out Mailspring (http://getmailspring.com http://getmailspring.com) when it launches this month. We always struggled to implement performant, battery-friendly mail sync in JavaScript, and Mailspring essentially "rebases" the entire JavaScript UI on top of a new C++ sync engine built on mailcore2. You get the flexibility of JavaScript + plugins + themes with a much lighter profile.
- Lazare 9y agoWell, "like Nylas mail but better" is a strong value prop from my point of view; I'm signed up for your mailing list and look forward to hearing more with interest. > Relicensing everything under MIT ensures the product will have a bright future Absolutely. Very impressive move.
- gravypod 9y agoWhere can we see the source and will the client have to phone home to you?
- sterex 9y agoWow! I like it.
