Can't wait to try out the Linux version!

Its made with Electron so my understanding is it should work on Windows/Linux/Mac out of the box!

  Electron? The obvious snarky comment has to then be "oh and it should manage to be slower than Thunderbird out of the box, too!" I hope he's had better luck integrating spell check than the RamBox devs have ;) edit: yes, I would love to test it and provide numbers rather than just snark - I just have to wait for the ~5,000 people ahead of me in the queue to have their software pressed to disk and posted to them before it's my turn o.0

    Haha "pressed to disk and posted" that was a fun remark :)

      I'm baffled as to why I have to queue for something that's neither a physical product nor a service platform. Doubly so when the link posted seems to just bump someone else up the queue. As a hacker news link it does strike me as a form of clickbait (and it honestly winds me up); "Hey HN! come look at this thing I've built that I'm not letting you look at!"

        Since I am only one developer currently, and there will probably be bugs, I don't want thousands of people having the same bug, this is the reason I'm not releasing it right away.

        This seems like a totally legitimate reason - but in that case maybe the announcement on HN (the tech website keeping the slashdot* effect alive) should have come once there was a public RC. Also, if it's bugs and the reporting of that you're worried about, maybe publish a proper bugtracker (github is both adequate and free) rather than just an email address? * slashdot effect; as in taking a webserver down just with the amount of people viewing it. Or to put it another way, if you wanted lots of people viewing your project, let them. If you don't, then don't advertise it to them!

  Some stuff needs to be sorted out and adapted to Linux so it might take some time before it's out on Linux. However, a lot of users has requested a Linux version which makes this a priority

    Ahh sorry for spreading misinformation then. I started playing around with Electron a bit when I discovered that both my Discord and Slack apps are Electron and its pretty awesome tech. Best of luck with your client!
