Hey Hacker News. This is an app I built over the last few days when I realized I didn't know which email lists were sending me the most email. Please let me know your thoughts, ideas, or questions.

It looks like you've got the read code commented out, at least in the git repo...

Give me a picture! No way am I giving you access to my inbox without anything more than a pretty button.

Totally agree. This might be very cool (didn't read comments) but without knowing what I'm signing up for I can't grant access to my GMail... The value proposition is unknown.

I found the learn link later - but I think it should be way more obvious. A bad first impression is damaging to a potential brand - if I didn't know the HN user I would have regarded it as a scam.

"CONNECTION LOST" error?
bmelton
Ditto. This might be related to the service itself, vs. an individual attempt to connect, which I suspect due to the speed of the error.

Bug report: you need to manually add some multi-part TLDs, right now it's listing "co.uk", "org.uk" etc. as domains

I really want to try this but I am still getting a connection lost error.

If I deny access to my gmail, I get the generic rails 404 "The page you were looking for doesn't exist."

I archive everything re: the "inbox zero" lifestyle (http://inboxzero.com/) and when i click see my results it is just a blank page.

I would be really interested if you could pull from my archives! :-)

I keep getting a connection error, I'll try later. Also, you still have the generic Rails README in the git repo.

Interesting, although it only works with TLDs (e.g. "amazon.co.uk" is reported under "co.uk")

An explanation of the results would be very helpful. It works but I have no idea what its telling me. Why are some boxes orange and some black?

I've been working on ways to have this be more obvious with outright explaining it.

Each column is a week, a black box means you had a day with an email, an orange box means you had a day with > 1 email.
