Front app is a centralized interface to access your various inboxes. Station unifies all of your web applications (e-mail, chat, tasks, notes etc.) in one single app. Front is closer to being an e-mail client handling various inboxed but in

We get Chromium updates when we upgrade to a new version of Electron. We rely on Electron integrating the new version (typically there is always a delay) to be up to date.

Indeed we are aware that we have issues with performance and we are working hard to identify ways to fix it. We released 15 days ago but it's a work in progress.

Yes I agree with you. We are currently working on a V.2 of our website that will offer a faster way to get a tour of the different features through animations. We might not even need to keep the "Take a tour" part.

Indeed for now we do not handle multi-account for all applications, AWS being one of them. But we plan on supporting multi-account across all applications by isolating cookies. You can see our public roadmap here: https://www.no

It's a fair point. We are actually based on Chromium (we run on Electron). So we are a for-profit company building a browser based on an open source project - just like Google with Chrome.

Yes that's exactly how we think about it. Browsers were originally designed to access static pages and with the growth in adoption of SaaS applications it slowly became the default operating system for web apps. As you mention at the e

Yes at first glance from a UI perspective it's essentially what it is. A friend of mine often jokes about it and tells me "ok so you just took the tabs and put them on the left" :) We started from that bias in the interface b

Currently you do not have the option to do it yourself. For now what Station does is it run an algorithm that detects the apps you use the most often and only keep 8 tabs open at any given time. We believe it's best if we can do it int

Thanks! Yes a lot of users tell us the exact same thing. It's not always easy to understand what it does until you've tried it. That means we also need to improve the way we communicate around the product and make the value prop c
