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.

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..."

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.

I'm having a real hard time deleting my account, because I used plus addressing in the email when I signed up for Instagram. This is making it impossible for me to log in to the web version of Instagram which is as far as I can tell the only way to delete an account… Suppose I'll have to write support, if there is such a thing.

Meh. Added spam to shared links. Buggy app that got worse and more bloated with every update. Finally stopped using the beta when they started crippling features like plain text selection. Now I suppose they'll sell my data to FB. Many of the worst aspects of the startup bubble reflected in one short-lived company.

Not until you can spell "drop out" correctly.

Same experience here, although I'm a newer user who just switched from Gmail a few months ago. Spent a couple of weeks researching alternatives before settling on Fastmail and would not be happy to repeat the process.

The post itself is a bit looney but the question is fair. I once noticed in my GV history a transcript of an outgoing message I'd left on another machine. Which is weird, because I thought GV was only supposed to transcribe incoming messages. Unfortunately I didn't save a copy or take a screenshot so I have no way of proving I didn't hallucinate the whole thing.

So if you keep several clients open in different places, it's at least harder to determine which IP reflects your current location, right?
