Beautiful, well-designed interface

Beautifully done, exactly what I wanted to organized my docs. Sadly, I am drooling over how my pictures could be organized too, but I don't have an instagram account - can you…
jenntoda on HNLooks beautiful, but there is no description the app or its purpose - just a description of 2 of its features. So, what is it?
jwallaceparker on HNJust re-downloaded. I love the new icon, I think that swung it back for me. Beta 1 was hurting my Dock.

Users enjoy the app despite past security issues
From 2 comments
the fact i still love this app despite their terrible security problems from the last launch is a very good sign for them. i'd pay for this. don't need the instagram support…
tikhon on HNI really am enjoying this app and I think you have made something great. I do agree with the sentiment that you haven't yet made the value proposition as clear, but that will…

Unclear what the app is and its purpose
From 3 comments
It is unclear to me what this app is. It's Instagram and Google Docs for Mac? As a single app?
jsdalton on HNLooks beautiful, but there is no description the app or its purpose - just a description of 2 of its features. So, what is it?
jwallaceparker on HNI'm interested in the developer's thought processes regarding the functions of this application. Google Docs and Instagram are related how? I don't conflate users of either…

Security concerns from earlier launch
From 2 comments
So is it no longer in beta? It didn't replace the previous version I had installed because the name no longer includes "beta". Why do I have to login again? Do you have DEBUG off…
jc4p on HNWhen this was first posted, there was an issue with security credentials. It would be good to know more about what you are doing to secure things going forward.

Doesn't seem to work in Mountain Lion. I launched the app, added my google account, then went to add my Instagram account, however I had to do a password reset, when I switched…

Instagram focus seems off-track
From 2 comments
Honest question for the devs - why the focus on Instagram? I thought that your original product was fantastic (despite the security problems). I feel like adding in Instagram…
hospadam on HNNot sure how the Instagram fits into the original goal of the app ... but cool!

Support Delicious bookmarks

Tried it, don't have a use for it. I'm not an Instagram user, nor do I use Google Docs much. Will there be support for other 'collections' cloud services, like Delicious for…

Is it an RSS reader too?

My thoughts exactly. Is it an rss reader too?

Will it monetize or be acquired like Sparrow?
From 2 comments
Since the people involved with this app are replying in here: Is this another app I will come to love and find invaluable only to one day wake to "we've been bought by Google!"?…
tomflack on HNThanks for replying, I won't ask you to reveal monetization plans but have you taken any VC?

It sounds like Yojimbo or Evernote for your social/docs accounts, which could be useful if it allows you to store your content locally (read: backup!).
