   I didn't even notice this one haha So to be clear, yes as the title mention, Google was a source of inspiration (especially their material design documentation), but foolishly copying is not our goal :)

   You are totally right, and we put a big warning that data saved during the Beta may be lost. Regarding Google, and after all these comments maybe 'Apple' is more accurate.

    Merci pour les encouragements ! Mails are currently not a priority because it's really hard to make it right (IMAP, POP and all the things...), but if the community shows an interest, we may plan it :)

    Hi, Thank you for the the harsh feedback. Bloom being open source, if you want a more private option than the hosted service bloom.sh you are totally free to host it yourself. On the other hand, It's just a beta launch, we made it work

    Unfortunately, I do not share this point of view. At least in France. My friends from CS school know it well, but my friends from Business schools does absolutely not.

    Thank you! I've tried to make it clear by appending a summary at the top of the blog post and a big visual banner at the start of the offering (to catch the eyes of those who will speed scroll). But apparently it's not enough. I&#

    Some friend said the same thing, I've to admit that I'm not a designer and found the inspiration from the brand who spend big bucks on their logos.

    Hi, Productivity is the current foundation, but you can think having an open source Bloom tractor in some years. I've dared the Google comparison, because I see Google as an innovative tech giant who have an app for all our needs. We h

    I can't swear it, but it's our goal. Currently I didn't had time to implement subscription before lauching. At least, as code is free (as in freedom) and open source, users with the knowledge will be able to self host.

    I think so. I didn't mention it because Mozilla is not really known for mere mortals (non geeks). But Mozilla is a great inspiration for me (their privacy first designs...)

    Storage is very cheap. I did not expect to reach Google's scale during the next month so currently we are bootstrapped and rely on some AWS credits :)

    Hi, currently we absolutely do not plan to create a search engine: it requires too much resources for self hosting, I think we currently have great option for all the spectrum (From Google search to DuckDuckGo), and because an open source s
