Offer "Download Later" to desktop users, too

[cassidyjames]

The download later feature is definitely something essential on mobile devices, but it could be useful to offer to desktop users as well. For example, if someone sees it's 800MB (or whatever) and wouldn't normally download it right then, being able to send them a direct link will encourage them to give us money anyway and get their file later.

Pardon the rough sketch. Kinda squeezed that in there.

I'm kind of -1 on this feature. I feel like it adds more clutter to the UI than it solves a problem people are actually encountering. I think offering the download now vs sending you a download link should be purely dependent on desktop vs mobile

I'm not sure if we are getting the email adress from the payment, but how about just always sending a link and a notice about the payment if you actually do decide to pay?

[danirabbit]

Ah Hm that's a good point. If we format it as a receipt with a download link, I'm okay with sending one with every download.

Keep in mind that means like 80k mails a month at our current rate so that implies whatever monthly cost that is.

At 100,000 per month:

Mailgun

Amount	Price per Email	Total
First 10,000	Free	$0.00
Next 500,000	$0.00050	$45.00
Total		$45.00

Mandrill

Amount	Price per Email	Total
First 12,000	Free	$0.00
Next 88,000	$0.00020	$17.60
Total		$17.60

Also, we need to make sure it is clear that this is a receipt, not an invoice.

Paid stamps seem to be the done thing.

For the Design simply we can have a Email Icon along with magnetic link icon will look simple rather having custom UI !
For Mailing we can us the postfix (https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-and-configure-postfix-as-a-send-only-smtp-server-on-ubuntu-14-04) which is pretty simple for fire and forget e-mails . just needs the server to be configured correctly.

Just using Postfix isn't something I'd be happy with going forward. It is remarkably difficult maintaining a mailservers reputation and once elementary mails start getting marked as spam, it will be a time consuming task to make them stop.

[charanrajtc]

Yeah Postfix requires to take care of spams . i guess we should not use it .
