As also mentioned in the other comment ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8259809 ) we’re working on a webmail interface (simple IMAP client for now): https://github.com/owncloud/mail

If you want to alpha-test it, we’re also working on a Mail app for ownCloud on the side: https://github.com/owncloud/mail Just clone it, install the dependencies via composer and you’re good to go. It’s just an IMAP cl

A service using open source software is a pretty good indicator that they will not sell out. Or even if they do, you will still be able to continue to use it by self-hosting or using a different provider.

Oh nice! This looks very similar to https://pagekite.net (which is also open source), minus the need for an account. Good call.

Simple syncing is what ownCloud does. Of course technically a server is inbetween, so it’s not directly between devices. LAN sync is requested sometimes, but currently not a priority. Please do let us know about the things you miss – on our

Do you have a logo for the app? I would really like to add it to the directory at http://libreprojects.net :)

That’s so good to hear! The original Eliss is one of my all-time-favorite games – unfortunately I don’t have an iOS device at the moment.

If you used 4.5.x I encourage you to try the latest stable server (5.0.9) and client (1.3.0) again: http://owncloud.org/sync-clients/ Especially the duplicate issues are fixed with the 1.3.0 release.

Yes, it’s difficult but I don’t think »roll-your-own is not going to be able to compete«. (Disclaimer: I’m interaction designer on ownCloud.) With ownCloud Inc. we have a company, customers and full-time employees. There’s no reason for it

ownCloud designer here, thank you for the kind words! Two things you might like: * We’re reworking the Music app this summer, see http://kabum.github.io/2013/06/20/GSoC-First-report/ * There is a stable

The problem with that is that while you might be conscious of that, other people might not be. And you using Facebook and Gmail pulls these people in, for example an email sent to you by someone not using Gmail will still end up on Google’s

I recommend putting it up on http://transifex.com for translation, we use that for ownCloud too. There’s a command-line tool to update strings and to import new translations, and Transifex is open source as well.

No, I will not get on it. Comments like yours above are a big reason why women feel uncomfortable in our community. Hacker News is not a platform for perpetuating the ancient and ostracizing concept that hackers are a bunch of guys.

Or very right, see the discussion on that same article: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5636090 Depends on what your view of success and right/wrong is.

Yes, we had some people ask us about that. It’s not really our core focus so we will probably not do it, but if anyone wants to build it our data is all open source and freely licensed: http://github.com/tosdr

This comparison is uncalled for and demeaning. Please refrain from posting sexist jokes which add nothing to the discussion.

Please check the page again, we have the rating for Google since a few weeks.Facebook will follow very soon. Also we reorganized the sorting on the frontpage so rated services come first.

Thank you for the suggestions! We already consider point 1 because we took over TOSback, a project started by EFF to track changes in ToS. As for point 2: We always welcome contributors! Either submit a feature in the tracker or dig into th
