- ryanleesipes 7mo agoLove it!
- raybb 7mo agoYou should add some screenshots to the readme or somewhere before a sign in screen. Sounds like a great tool though. How much is the hosted version?
- bean469 7mo agoThere are screenshots in the link[1] provided in the README.md 1. https://stage.appointment.day https://stage.appointment.day
- m3nu 7mo agoA Docker image would be good too.
- ryanleesipes 7mo agoYes, we should. Will do that today
- devmount 7mo agoWe added some screenshots to the repository now. Thanks so much for the suggestion!
- sashimimono 7mo agoI would like to, but... have you tried to use thunderbird on an "older" linux laptop nowadays? Even with 8 gigs of ram, and a non-fancy memory-saving windowmanager, thunderbird is almost unusable now (large imap mbox), firefox even worse. I don't see why all that additional bloat is needed, or wanted. Please keep in mind, that a lot(!) of people are not able to afford buying new hardware every now and then anymore. And this is getting worse. First the pandemic, then the war in Ukraine, now the war in Middle-East. Shortage of ram/storage/everything (thanks ai) and massivly increased costs of energy, housing, food, insurance, everything. And in the years to come, I am afraid, that will be getting worse. Please think about it, when adding the "next cool feature", 'Keep the internet affordable'. --thunderbird user since 1.0
- hedora 7mo agoRegarding FF: Something is probably wrong with your install, or the websites you have open. As a datapoint: FF + Chrome with lots of stuff open uses 2.6GB on my machine. With XFCE and a GB of other apps, it’s using about 4GB. 15 year old machine. Perf is fine.
- carlosjobim 7mo agoWhy don't you use an older version?
- sashimimono 7mo agosecurity reasons. since you can't controll what other people are sending to you, you always want to use the most recent as-bug-free-as-possibly version, see https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/security/known-vulnerabilities/thunderbird/ https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/security/known-vulnerabilities...
- winrid 7mo ago> Come talk to us and build with us do we need an appointment :)
- bean469 7mo agoThanks, looks like a great alternative
- jen729w 7mo ago1. Goes to site. Clicks appointment.tb.pro link in sidebar. 2. Gives email address. 3. Is told to join the waitlist. 4. Blocks email address given at 2. Hardly a terrific experience.
- ryanleesipes 7mo agoYeah. We need to create a docker container and make it easy to deploy for folks. We're not ready with the hosted option at the moment.
- kewisch 7mo agoI'm curious how it blocked your email, could you share more details on what message you got? Feel free to reach out to me outside of HN.
- jen729w 7mo agoI blocked the email. I use one-time addresses at Fastmail. I meant that after step 3, I was never interested in hearing from the service again.
