Thanks for stopping by! Please share any feedback. Especially stuff that’s critical. It’s Christmas right now so I’m it doing anything, but soon I’ll be iterating on all the feedback.

Hi

I think this is very neat. Would be really nice to see this as open source. I think it would be especially useful for small sites that have a static website and do not wish to install some large, complicated, database backed, web based comment system. Email is still such a useful medium for communication and this would be another neat application that builds upon the advantages and maturity of email.

Hi Mike! Thanks for your kind words.

I totally agree with email. It’s been totally undervalued as an interface.

I think maybe part of the reason why is that it’s historically (and still is) kind of “difficult”. But, once you get it set up and working it’s so nice. I’ve really been enjoying seeing people play with this, and just knowing that there’s a way interact with people on my website makes me feel so much more excited about writing content for my website (which I’m really bad about haha).

Although that's a wonderful ideal, unfortunately all I have to say atm is: LGTM!

Well done! You're right, my email client provides a much better writing UX than commenting in those tiny comment boxes. Especially for longer, more thoughtful comments. Maybe using this people will feel less nervous to compose longer more thoughtful conversations on the Internet and we'll start seeing richer, deeper conversations take place through the online ecosystem!
