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

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 (thou

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

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 tim

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.

by sauravmitra 5y ago
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 t

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.

by sauravmitra 5y ago
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.

by sauravmitra 5y ago
Thanks! Will try and add that in then.
17.
by sauravmitra 5y ago
That sounds like a bug. Will look into it ASAP. If you report the issue using the question mark on the bottom-left of the app, I'll be able to follow up with you directly :)

by sauravmitra 5y ago
Fair point to check. All harmless here though :P These are all users who joined during our private beta and who we spoke to personally :)

Interesting. I typically write it as macOS in conversation, but wasn't aware it was seen as correct to capitalise the M. Thanks!

I've had 100+ for sure. When I used Safari, I had about 15-20 windows open. And honestly, I think SigmaOS is still great (biased ofc :p) when you have a few pages open, just from the ability to organise those pages.

by sauravmitra 5y ago
Hmm, I want to look further into how often this happens. Was this a big issue for you with Vimium? Right now, if you accidentally close a page, you can quickly "Z" (or click the undo button that shows up) to bring the page back.

Heya, thanks for the feedback! We were trying to replicate a Typeform-like feel (questions, one by one) to make it more palatable but the goal isn't to bait you into thinking you're done. Do you think we're missing something
23.
by sauravmitra 5y ago
This is a fair point. Right now, it shows a message on the bottom-left asking if you meant to close a page and suggesting "D" as the shortcut instead. I think adding a classic mode with those shortcuts enabled should solve the iss

Awesome, thanks for the case-by-case advice, and a good point on the marketing aspect of things. Really really appreciate it :)

The engine is WebKit. It is our long-term goal for that name to make more and more sense :)

Honestly, just for fun :D Yes, I use my browser mainly for work, but product demos are usually a bit boring. Also, I was hoping for a little Vim vs Emacs flame war (which didn't happen) and "Backwards Hippo" is just great :D

Hmm, you might be right. AppCenter is super useful for crash logs, but do you think it would be an issue for users when concerned with privacy? We don't identify the reports at all, so literally anonymous crash logs. (And AppAnalytics

So our login flow requires email login to authorise because we also allow you to sync your data across multiple devices (if you choose to do so). It's true that the signup could be simpler but then I'd worry in the case that someo

High praise for reading through this entire thing. And even more for the detailed analysis. :D A web-app OS is definitely part of our long-term goal here, and you've covered a bunch of our thought process. Right now, we're targeti

Yup, should definitely improve that so it's automatic. Thanks for reporting!
