Makes a lot of sense. Save energy, travel further and carry more. Unfortunate that I won't have a blimp arriving at my doorstep though (yet!) :P

Good luck!

Yeah, it's something we thought about a lot before implementing the current system.

We think apps like Superhuman have brought the idea of single-key shortcuts into the forefront, and we really like how much more memorable they are for most users.

We'll definitely learn from our users' feedback though, and we'll work on a solution with them if they have issues with it :)

Yeah, but honestly fuck selling data.

I think something like acquisition is a really fair concern.

Someone here has recommended tying our values down into some form of legal agreement which prevents the company from straying from them. That would also work for acquisition (though I'm not sure how to go about something like that)

Someone else has suggested not talking about privacy at all, since those who care about it will want open-source browsers.

We're still figuring out how to talk about this. All we want to say is we want to build an awesome product, we try to handle as little user data as possible but handle it appropriately, and we will be doing more to resolve privacy issues in browsers.

If I can assuage any concerns (not the major one of it being closed-source though. I can only say trust us for that :p), no session data is captured when you use the app. We don't know what tabs are open. Now if you choose to sync your data across devices, your session data will then be uploaded to our server, stored encrypted. The only user data we have otherwise is from the sign up form.

Fair enough. If you're fixed on that, we're not trying to change your mind (yet :p). It's a different business model for browsers, we know, but we do think it will be best for the development of the product in the short-term and the long-term.

Hopefully eventually, you'll reconsider when it looks even more awesome :)

We find Electron lacking on performance compared to native.

Try out the product, tell us how to improve it, and we will :)

Thanks!

Nice, thanks for sharing! :D

My personal inspiration is Vim (as mentioned in the post), but we want to avoid the initial punishing feeling that learners feel when learning Vim. SigmaOS should still feel faster to use even from the first time you start using it.

We announced our HN launch to some of our users in our Slack community. Feel free to join when you try out the product :)

(Link should be accessible from the question mark at the bottom-left of the app)

Thanks for the feedback! Simplicity is key, and we hope you feel faster using SigmaOS without adding unnecessary complexity.

By mid-September, I think.

Yup, totally get you. We'll be picking this task up soon hopefully.

You can help speed this process up by reporting the issue using the question mark at the bottom-left of the app. It increases the count of how many of our users need this so we can prioritize our tasks :)

Heya, glad you're liking it! You can't open multiple windows of SigmaOS at the moment. This is something we would like to add especially for users using multiple monitors.

Yeah, sorry it seemed like it was disabled! As Ali mentioned, when you deselect both options, the button says "I'll do this later", which you can click to skip.

Good point. Currently though, if you "z" a page you've closed, it preserves your input. The system isn't perfect, but it prevents any fear of accidental closing.
