| Hoping this is useful feedback, if the developers are here lurking. Agree/Disagree? First, it looks absolutely great. I love the "tweetie"-ish UI. A very refreshing look and feel. Hotkeys - very glad to see these already integrated, but wish they would have defaulted to the standard GMail hotkeys. Since your product is aimed at GMail users for now, I would go with those hotkeys Scrolling - something weird is happening with the scrolling using a mouse wheel versus regular trackpad on my Macbook Pro. Feels inconsistent with other apps. Windows - the message panel should be "docked" to the main window by default. a message/thread should only open in a new window when double clicked. Search - fast (for me, small mailbox) and well done. great progressive disclosure with the options appearing above the results list. Authoring - a more full-featured editor is a must, obviously. For a beta this is forgivable. Preferences - getting to account-specific prefrences is unintuitive (double clicking on account) All Mail/Labels - obviously a "must" in the left hand side if you're going after the GMail crowd. Performance - performance starts to suffer if you add a larger account while it downloads/indexes your mail? My CPU was not pegged and I have an SSD so not sure what could be causing this slow down. Excessive paging? NSStatusItem - not sure why this is necessary and I would rather not have it cluttering my status bar. Unified Inbox - maybe not a 1.0 feature but a lot of people feel strongly about this. It's a must for anyone with more than 2 email accounts they have to juggle. Message List - consider figuring out a way to show more messages on the left hand side, possibly by adding a preference for "include preview" Overall, a very strong start and if you could get the above items worked out and a polished first version out I would happily pay you $20-$30 for this piece of software to replace my current thick mail client (postbox) |
