I've seen it get to point where the contextual information was clipping off the right hand side of the message. One of the key Nylas features is the ability to display contextual information related to the emailer and that's excellent but the app really calls for a very portait style, wide screen monitor. Here's an example (5 selected but only 2 shown as selected). I did notice a few screen related UI rendering glitches around selection of non-contiguous mails in a list view. Some of the problems I experienced you might not see at all if you use the one panel theme. Note: I mostly reviewed Nylas using the two panel theme. My guess is that with a release yesterday the backend servers which drive Nylas are likely under heavy load right now so even thought my second time experience isn't all that great, I'm going to give Nylas a pass on performance right now. Here's my Slack memory usage after multiple days up and running:Īs I write this, I'm seeing very bad performance which is surprising because last night it was actually pretty peppy. It is important to understand that this isn't all that different from Slack which clocked in at 1.68 gigs. Here's the memory usage after I had used it for about a half hour, 979 megs:Īs an additional test I left Nylas running all night long and the next morning it had eaten another 100 megs of RAM: That's why when I see an application like Nylas and how it uses memory it makes me want to weep and then die. Sure I moved it to 48K as soon as I could but I started small. Now I'm old school – my first computer had 4K in it and I've known people who owned things like the KIM-1. Nylas is an Electron app and that means that memory consumption is going to be an issue. Kudos to the good folks at Nylas and Thank You – you just made not only the personal computing world a little bit richer but also the open source world. I'll be even more impressed when I can run it on my wide screen Linux desktop with 32 gigs of memory. There is some impressively good thinking here Note: I just tried to install it under Linux and its apparently not fully read yet. The UI is impressively good and they've open sourced it which means that it has potential to get better – fast. The fact that it works for OSX, Windows and Linux is a huge, huge win. I actually really like this application and I'm intending to use it to see if perhaps, in 2017, I can put on my big boy pants and deal with email as a professional (i.e. Among people that know me in the real world, I am notorious for handling personal email poorly if at all and I actually used it for quite a while last night. And, as a piece of software, it is also actually good. Nylas N1 is a new email client that has just been released as free and open source.
