Cool!
In the future, however, the company will release a
hosted version of Inbox that will allow developers to
create applications without needing to also scale their
own infrastructure.
Oh...
- grinich 12y agoYou can totally still run it yourself. But we figure most developers won't want to run lots and lots of servers to sync+store terabytes of mail data. (see Heroku, AWS, etc.) ... but you can if you want. And if that sounds interesting, maybe you should work with us? :) jobs@inboxapp.com
- alexobenauer 12y agoBesides syncing to a device, inboxapp stores a copy of a person's mail data on the server side?
- grinich 12y agoYes, for caching+performance reasons.
- FreezerburnV 12y agoDo you encrypt anything in that case? Or do things in such a way that no rogue employee of Inbox would be able to read someone's email? I work with email currently, and one of the core mantras we have is that nobody should be able to read the email of someone who uses our service. It's such a personal thing with so much private information, that even the possibility of someone being able to do that (especially when there are more than a handful of us) is unpalatable to everyone here, to the point that we can't do common password recovery in order to keep that information private from us. I certainly hope you are/will take that into consideration as you build this.
