Cool app. I was looking for something exactly like this yesterday and I was surprised no one had made it yet. Your UI is nice, but the icons are a little crowded on the view activity panel. Also it took me a minute to figure out what "group threshold" does (actually I'm still not sure how grouping works).

Suggestions:

- A filter to ignore certain files within a subfolder (regex or strict selection would be fine)

- Express time in relative as well as absolute terms (ie, "five minutes ago," "two days ago," etc.)

- For premium: A built-in diff viewer for those of us who haven't paid for Kalidescope, etc. Maybe you could integrate Mergely (mergely.com)?

The only other thing: I hate the App Store and I'm not alone. It'd be great if you integrated the premium payment option with the direct-download version and added it to the (Home)brew cask repos.

Good work.

Cool. So what happens when Chrome updates or I accidentally turn off Dev mode? Does Chromebrew get wiped?

Where are the photographer credits? Where is the licensing information for each photo? What is your mechanism for compensating the creators of the original works you are republishing?

I use the !hn bang syntax on DuckDuckGo daily… Here's hoping it stays available.

Pretty cool. But why would I use this over Etherpad?

Which is why this acquisition was more about PR than talent or technology. It says (or tries to say), "You might think we're just dusty old Yahoo!, but we're hiring 17-year-old wunderkind too! We're hip to the next big thing! And remember we have a new CEO..."

Haven't tested in Firefox. I assume the webapp works just fine, but there's a dedicated Chrome extension.

Thanks but also sorry, because I should clarify—it's not my app, I just found it last night while looking for just this for a new Chromebook. I'm a heavy NValt user and there's sadly no Dropbox support on ARM as yet. Also saw that no one had posted to HN yet so thought I'd share.

Dev is a Japanese fellow on Twitter @kazuhiroshibuya, I'm sure he'll appreciate new users and any kudos. It's really well-designed and like others who commented here, I'm very glad for the prominent privacy disclosures on the homepage.

Really cool, looking forward to giving this a try.

Agreed, lots of glitches that kept me from shelling out for the paid service. I gave it up and went back to Dropbox for OSX <-> Android syncing.

At least the buyer isn't talking about shutting it down.

"No porn."

Thanks mom!

I'm mortified for the kid.
