   Yep, we've considered building an iOS and Android version. But that means we need to make more money and hire more people. Our team is very small right now. The new sync engine is written in Javascript, which is faster than Python, but

   Nylas Mail is the first email client built from the ground-up to be extensible. It's kind of like emacs in that way– you can create new plugins that add any sort of new functionality, whether that means connecting it to GitHub, Quickbo

   Nope, no plan to do that. Previously having a free app wasn't affordable for us. Now it is. This took a huge amount of work behind the scenes. Stay tuned for the engineering blog post very soon!

    Hey HN-- I'm the author of this post. Feel free to post questions! We are a very small team building this app. Hopefully you can focus on what's new/good and not what is left to do! :) If you find bugs, please post them here:

    Yeah we haven't done much testing on 9 year old laptops. It seems fast enough on machines from the last 3-4 years.

    Coming soon! We just didn't have enough time to QA it. Should be ready in a couple of weeks. (Windows too)

    You actually can add any IMAP server. We just haven't tested all of them, so we're only officially supporting a few at launch. Here's how to do it: http://imgur.com/a/WBdXe (I work at Nylas.)

    We sent out several emails to existing users that included a coupon for a year free, and thousands upon thousands of people did take advantage of this. Perhaps you missed the window? Either way, stay tuned. :)

    Hey Ollie-- sorry about that. Honestly the truth is we weren't expecting N1 to grow so fast in popularity, and we realistically couldn't afford the unbounded infrastructure cost associated with running it for free. We also didn&#x

    If you're looking for a great mail experience on Linux, I definitely recommend checking out Nylas N1. It's open source and built on ElectronJS with a beautiful UI and modern features. https://github.com/nylas/

    I did this a few years ago, but for the Microkopter boards. It's amazing what you can find while snooping the debug serial pins, and what you can ultimately still control during flight. That old code is on GH if anyone wants to fly wit
