Hi Erez, thanks for the great review. The Snooze Links are our favorite feature too.

On your point of an open source version, for these types of apps to work correctly, they do need to see the email itself, and I assume most people are not the type to run a service on their mail server. In addition, since most people's mail servers are hosted, how are you going to run such a service? (Browser Extensions only partially solve the problem because they need to be open all the time) Lastly, you could provide your email credentials to a service like ours and let it work that way, but even then, that's still a security risk (and why we don't ask for them currently).

Thanks,

Chris
