So, this looks interesting, but what does the "Tinder for email" analogy have to do with it?

- sithadmin 11y agoPeople need to stop treating the 'X for Y' analogy construct like it's the Uber for analogies.
- tomc1985 11y ago'X for Y' analogies are older than technology... good luck...
- Apocryphon 11y agoIt's radio for your eyes!
- taneq 11y agoWhat, any time someone wants an analogy they can simply summon one to their location with their mobile phone?
- apancik 11y agoI tried to explain that you have to decide what to do with the currently viewed email (you can see only one) without skipping
- phodo 11y agoLooks great, but agree w the Tinder part not resonating. Isn't this more "Getting Things Done - by David Allen" for email? [1] [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Getting_Things_Done https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Getting_Things_Done
- neeel 11y agoSurprisingly a Tinder analogy is failing to resonate on hackernews. Who would have thought
- CptJamesCook 11y agoThe post has been at number 1 for an hour. It's resonating and also generating hate.
- strictnein 11y agoWell it does mention GTD a couple times on the landing page.
- jordanlev 11y agoI assume he means the "swipe left or right" aspect of Tinder. That is, responding to an email is just a matter of taking one action.
- fragsworth 11y agoThat's really odd, because Tinder is not known for the "swipe left or right" aspects of their app, more for their reputation as a sex hook-up app. My confused impression when I read the title was "A sex hook-up app that uses e-mail?"
- rhodysurf 11y agoTo kids my age (lower 20s) swiping is absolutely linked with tinder.
- pbhjpbhj 11y agoTo kids my age (~40) it's the only thing I know about it as the [UK] media regularly references "Tinder" and "swipe left" [dismiss?].
- swsieber 11y agoBwa ha ha ha ha. I guess the perception is different depending on where you're from. I immediately thought of the swipe left/right aspect - though I'm in a community that is more chaste than most though. For example, I know a couple who met through tinder without any sex before marriage. That's probably why I thought different - I just really haven't known enough people who use tinder like you described. Or used tinder at for that matter. edit: minor spelling corrections.
- delinka 11y agoSo I’m meeting people over emil now? My emails can hook up with other emails? I don’t understand...
- ghrifter 11y agoMeet other hot HTML5/CSS3 emails in your neighborhood! On a serious note I was confused too. I guess it's the swiping left/right to read/answer that resembles Tinder
