my wife's company uses gmail for all their work mail (and for their clients too i guess) and she is really, really pissed off about the gmail change that they "just recently" forced everyone into

every few hours she just screams something like "WHY DO I HAVE TO HOVER TO GET TO MY LABELS?!!!?!?!" really loudly and scares the dogs

gmail is a fine service with a hideous ui

mail.app or postbox and never deal with it again

this is what happens when you take UI design away from engineers and give it to a bunch of hipster art student "designers"

It should. You don't realize how unprepared javascript is for offline apps until you've tried to write one. Writing app code in javascript is loving horrendous, but creating an offline app is even worse

gently caress anyone who thinks web apps should support offline poo poo, if you want that then write a native app

i'm writing a note-taking app in emberjs that is 100% offline at the moment; working pretty well

eventually gonna have sync to a server but that's as simple as swapping the localStorage adapter i'm using out with a REST adapter (or maybe using them in parallel)

it hasn't been that bad, really vOv

though every time i serialize JSON to a string for localStorage i die a little inside (my fault for being lazy and not wanting to do an indexedDB adapter)

i see your point, but masking the features most common for people that make the most out of your application? it's like hiding the steering wheel in a racing game
