This is the first time I hear of this case as I think few people create distinct applications. We use Auth0 for authentication and we'll check with them as it seems the issue is on their side. I'll let you know when we've figured it out.
Franz is all about handling messaging app while we handle all types of web applications.
As for Rambox, indeed they are closer to what we do with a different type of interface though.
We do support self-hosted apps (any kind of custom apps) but as of today it requires a few weeks before it is added. In all honesty if that's a key factor for you, I would stay on Rambox and wait for us to have released the V.2 of custom applications before bothering to try it :)
Indeed PWA would be amazing especially for offline functionalities and push notifications.
1. Indeed we've removed it as it really made the interface distracting (with numbers on every app). We could imagine having this information on hover on the next version of the dock. We just want to make sure we don't make the dock too messy with information (once you add up notification number, profile icon, etc.) it starts looking really overwhelming.
2. Good point, that's something we'll keep in mind once we start focusing on notifications again.
Thanks for the feedback. We plan on insisting on the "Free" aspect on the V.2 of our website so it's clear that it is free for the individual user. Once we price for teams we'll have a dedicated page.
Thanks for your feedbacks! On some of your points:
- we do allow you to use multiple Gmail accounts, back when you used it it might not have been obvious enough but you can use as many Google accounts as you'd like
- indeed we are working hard on memory usage and performance at the moment. Since the TechCrunch cover you should definitely see a difference. Let us know in our community if this is not the case
- we've fixed that since then, you can remove autostart in the settings and it works now
Hey, one more reason I preferred Chrome was Adblocker. Sorry, forgot to mention this in previous post. Not so sure if it can be integrated in this, but I had gotten used to it, so it's weird to see the ads popup again. Especially when you are looking at marketing channels, and browse Instagram and Twitter too.
Have installed the app yesterday. The interface is more intuitive now. Looks good. Love the collection of apps too. And the quick switch as well.
Yes we didn't dedicate efforts to integrating an ad blocker because we mostly integrate applications in which you shouldn't see ads but Twitter or Instagram are good examples of where it's needed. We are working hard to integrate more extensions in the future and Ad blockers rank high on the list.
Front app is a centralized interface to access your various inboxes. Station unifies all of your web applications (e-mail, chat, tasks, notes etc.) in one single app. Front is closer to being an e-mail client handling various inboxed but in the cloud (and collaborative) while were are a better alternative to the browser for all your web applications. You could use Front in Station :)
Indeed we are aware that we have issues with performance and we are working hard to identify ways to fix it. We released 15 days ago but it's a work in progress.
Giving it another try. Would be cool if you had a "saved layout" where I could just download a template that had all the apps I want to load up on new installations.
Yes I agree with you. We are currently working on a V.2 of our website that will offer a faster way to get a tour of the different features through animations. We might not even need to keep the "Take a tour" part.
