This is a small project that I made mostly for my own use. I did learn about Fastmail through HN, so maybe someone else here has use for something like this!

This is nice, but the concept of a "native wrapper" is kind of contradictory. What's the memory usage?

accatyyc3• 8 years ago

Is there a better wording? The wrapper is a native OSX app, adding some native features the web app lacks. Memory usage should be roughly the same as running it in Safari, right now around 23MB on my computer.

Thanks - looks nice, especially as it's native. I'm using Fluid (fluidapp.com) to wrap Fastmail which also gives the ability to show notifications, show dock badge and handle mailto:. It also allows the use of custom CSS or JS which I find indispensable (see https://github.com/mdbraber/fastmail-customized). For shortcuts I use Keyboard Maestro w/ specific JS commands or URL triggers.

Cool, wasn't aware of that one. Reinventing the wheel once again :)

Adding custom CSS/JS to Fastmate would be pretty simple, I might just do that as well.

Is there anything that you miss in your fluidapp setup that could be added to Fastmate perhaps? Thanks!
