Thanks for this fantastic app. I love the native Gmail features with this level of polish, speed and OS integration.

I would love to see — and would definitely pay for — a similar approach to Google Calendar. Unfortunately CalDAV-based clients only offer a fraction of the web client functionality.

Also have an article about cobbling it together here for the curious: https://www.takeshape.io/articles/introducing-twithub/

Re:Show HN: TakeShape, a Headless GraphQL CMS and SSG on Thursday September 20, 2018 @09:43AM (#18032352)
I've also been using TakeShape for the content API, feeding profile data to a web app for [Parsley Health](https://www.parsleyhealth.com). Somewhere down the line we'll be using it for our website as well. It lends itself well to a multi-use scenario, where you want to centralize your content creation and maintenance.

Also, as noted below, it's an ideal tool for prototyping and one-offs. The hot-reload for local dev based on remote content updates is incredibly slick and fast. It's also an excellent training bed for GraphQL, with the integrated viewer.

Full disclosure: I worked on the project briefly at it's inception , and have been happy to use it in my current gig.
