@mcol @freddy I love email clients implementing "Undo Send". They literally just add a 20 second delay before sending and tout it as revolutionary. 100% marketing indeed

@yarmo @mcol the only glimmer of hope that I saw was that they had a GitHub. While there are many better options, if this is what it takes to convert people to an open source alternative then so be it.

@freddy @mcol while this is a positive sign, I sadly so no repo related to an email client.

They pulled a keybase 😅

Motto of businesses using open source as bait: "open source all except what matters"

This was one thing I noticed too. The other side that concerns me is that "privacy" policy.

"We collect information from Superhuman product features, including the content of drafts"

And:

"we only share Email Content Data with our hosting provider (Google, Inc.)."

... Wow. The rest isn't overly spectacular either.

@freddy @yarmo That's an awful lot of forks and no repository called "superhuman". Looks almost like that want to be perceived as FOSS-friendly, but I don't see any way to install the client myself. My scepticism comes partly because they look very much like silicon-valley bros and not at all like "check out this cool free shit i made"

@freddy @yarmo On the plus side, this is clear acknowledgement that the population of people who want open source tools is not insignificant

@mcol @yarmo good point. Having some open source components is better than nothing.
