Station - One app to rule them all

It would be nice if there was a back button or a feature to go back. Since some apps don't have back buttons (especially when navigating their landing/external pages). Maybe just having a shortcut for this would help?

Fantastic product so far!

Pros:

Great concept. Looks wonderful and works smoothly

Cons:

A back button is really needed.

It's freaking fantastic!! I'm using it and it's awesome. And I have a question, Do you have any plan for windows too?

I have been using Station for about two weeks now and like the ease at which you can switch between apps. Have already recommended it to few people and some have started using it. While I see a great potential in this app, the following are some pain points:

1. The ability to close the app to taskbar or system tray. The close button now, kills the app.

2. Notification control to ensure that every notifiation need not really carry the content. For example, my slack or whatsapp notification need not carry the message. Just the senders name would be fine.

3. A UX point will be to minimize the app to system tray. But when you get a notification, change the color of the system tray icon to denote pending message.

Thanks, however, for this cool app.

Congratulations.

Pros:

The ease of switching between multiple apps.

Cons:

Notificaiton control requires serious thought

I have been using Station for a month. I was unsure at the beginning but decided to give it a try. The product still feels unfinished in some part, but it's still a really quick way to bootstrap your working apps in a second.

Some of the applications feel weird in the app (linkedin, jira), mostly because some of the controls are not intuitive or easy to find out. For example, in LinkedIn, there is a lot of going back, and it's not that easy to figure out that CMD+[ is the "back".

Adding a password manager availability would also make the product much easier to use in my case.

I recommend it for people who don't like to have a lot of tabs open. This gets you really close to a native application.

Pros:

- One place for all apps

- Super quick to start working

- A lot of apps available

Cons:

- Still feels a bit beta-ish

- Some controls are not straight forward (back, adding new "windows")

- No password manager

Hi, I love Station but I have been encountering an annoying bug for a few days now: when clicking on a link in from any app my web browser is opening an empty tab and I cannot access the link other than by copying the URL. I would have reached out to you through your Intercom integration but it disappeared as well from my Station.

@al3xstrat any plans or any way to allow multiple instances of Station running concurrently? To separate workspaces, instead of logging in apps multiple times in the same workspace?

What I feel is missing badly according to me is the feature to right click on any web-page and translate it to english.

Need it badly.

Pros:

Everything.

Cons:

Some extensions of Chrome.

Tried to add a second google account but to no avail. Tried to reach out to support through Intercom, no answers....

Tried to add Adwords app too, and can't never get it to login, stuck at the sign up page.

Pros:

Looks very promising

Cons:

Support non existent, Multiple Google Accounts don't work

The "cons" is not an issue of Station per se. It's using Electron to build the app and Electron is known to use a lot of CPU. I'd like to see native software.

Pros:

Ease of use

Cons:

On a recent Macbook Air it consumes 20% CPU doing absolutely nothing. If this app is targeting business, wasting energy is an issue.

I honestly think this is a great product. It's is still young, and needs work, but don't mess with the simplicity, keep it easy to use, and squash the bugs, before you go piling on the features.

Pros:

It has already saved me tons of time. My main apps are up and ready to go, no fuss no muss. I like it.

Cons:

-Websites should open in the default browser, by default

-Wish: add webpages as 'apps', please

-Some shortcuts don't work when app is docked
