Nylas mail not loading registration#
It's not possible to convert someone who isn't a user because they got scared away by the registration requirement - better imo, to have a non-registered user, than no user at all.

There's a reason that e-commerce sites allow buyers to add items to a cart without sign up, and to "checkout as guest" instead of forcing users to sign up for a Staples (or whatever) login - you get more conversions.Įven if you prefer the approach of trying to get the information up front, adding a "skip" option that allows users to use the app without cloud sync, etc., then allowing a user to "go pro" later on at least allows people to try the app without a commitment. You can even build this into the existing flow where users currently go to upgrade, by prompting the user to create a Nylas ID at that point (if they haven't already). I understand the desire to have a seamless flow from free to paid, but you can easily move this flow later in the app (a la progressive disclosure). We do, however, use 3rd parties for basic usage and performance statistics and self-host as much reporting infrastructure (like Sentry) as possible. We never send mail, contact, or calendar data to 3rd parties. You just won't get any cloud-enabled features. You can fork & run yourself without a Nylas ID. The code is open source on GitHub (nylas/N1). This lets us manage subscriptions for those who want to upgrade. The cloud syncing infrastructure is open source and you can run it yourself and inspect the code.Īll editions (both Basic and Pro) need a Nylas ID. Nylas Pro currently syncs in the cloud to enable some of the pro features not currently offered in Nylas Mail Basic and to provide a much easier to use modern API wrapper around mail data.

It still uses a cloud service for some features (like read receipts), but all the data is local on your disk and auth credentials stored in your native OS keychain. Nylas Mail Basic does NOT store your mail data in the cloud.
