I've been using this with one single solitary friend for about a year. It works really well and we both love it.
What has bothered potential adoptees is the idea it needs their email account credentials. People who don't think it is super cool already don't seem willing to adopt it. It would be nice if that changed.
- progre 6y agoWell, the account credentials would stay in the local client wouldn't they? There is no hosted web version of this (yet!) and no central server so there is no one to leak credentials to. The only receiver of the credentials would be your email provider, and you are already sending them that in your normal email client.

- progre 6y agoIt's a legitimate fear I think. The only fix I can see is to establish a trustworthy brand which can be hard for a relatively unknown entity.
