Do you know about Sandstorm and its app market?

I did not, thanks for the info. Looks interesting.
Sandstorm is an interesting idea.

The design is so ugly, though...

I am impressed with the 100% code coverage [1] of your project. It would be cool to have the installation instructions [2] in a Vagrant or Docker script, or as someone else suggested, a Heroku button. I like the website, very clean and most possible questions regarding the license, security, tests, and such are addressed in an easy-to-access section, very good, something that many other HN featured projects lack. Thanks for your work.

Wow, thanks for the kind words! I submitted this last night hoping to drum up some support for the project. I never dreamed it would be on the front page when I woke up!
It looks nice, but may I suggest a couple more screenshots and/or GIFs to really showcase it (email edit/compose view, RSS reader view, etc).

As a marketer it kills me the amount of cool projects whose adoption may be hurt by a lack of a couple extra screenshots.

I appreciate the suggestion, and will get a screenshot page added to the site. In the meantime, here are a few blog posts with more shots:

Looks very nice.

Was about to ask about support for 2-factor authentication, then saw this:

  Support for 2 factor authentication with any TOTP compatible
  authenticator app
A quick-setup page might help.
Why GPL v2?
I felt that it most accurately represented my intentions for the software.
I use rainloop currently on a Cloudron. Would be great to have this as a cloudron.io app! (It's just based on Docker)
