Mimestream 1.0

Elias Rowe

Congrats on the release, it's a very impressive piece of software. I've been using the beta on and off or a while and it's clearly very stable, fast and polished. However, I was very disapppointed by the decision to have only a subscription model for an email client, which my local currency exchange rate makes even worse. I miss the times when I could simply save up and purchase some software. Nowadays everyone wants $5 or more a month, which is unfeasible.

Been using the beta daily since 2020. One of the easiest purchases I've ever made. Keep up the great work!

Congrats on launch! This is the best mail client I've ever used. Wish, I could continue to use it with generic IMAP (no longer utilize Gmail service). Hopefully, soon!

Longtime beta user, but like the rest of HN, I couldn't be more disappointed by the decision to choose a subscription billing model for an email client. I likely would have bought in if this were a freemium or one-time license + optional new feature upgrades were offered like other relevant software a la Sublime or JetBrains products to name a few. It was also a big letdown to, after using your app for 3 years, give us only 3 days notice of ending access to the beta. That's an uncommonly short transition window by any standard. Personally, I will be moving on to another email client that doesn't require a subscription. Bummer because what was built was nice, but the value prop is just not there in the current pricing model for me.

Congratulations on the launch, Neil! I really love the UI, it looks very neat! I'm curious if there are any advantages to using this version of Gmail compared to the web version.

Hi @neil_jhaveri! Congrats on your launch! 🚀 I'm curious to know what makes Mimestream stand out from Spark. Can you tell me more about it?

I am a longtime beta user of Mimestream and it's the only client I use. The simplicity, the speed and the great releases make that I am a fan. Congratulations on a very nice launch and I am happy to pay the yearly fee, because I love the love that goes into the product.

I am not paying a subscription for this, or anything I already, basically, get for free.

I'm disappointed that it only works with macOS 12 and above, as a user of macOS Big Sur 11.7, whose MacBook Pro doesn't support upgrading.

Been using the beta for over a year and never had an issue, so had to support the development. I realise scheduled messaging isn't available via the Gmail API, but I'd love to have support for this (via a mimestream server I guess).

I am so excited for this launch. It has been a long time coming and lots of hard work. Best Gmail Client experience ever. I have been a faithful user since 2021. Found out about it on Twitter and have never looked back. I am excited to support the development with my wallet lol
