Thank you. So what you are saying is that let people push content/send email to some staging area, and you'll pull from there whenever you want. I guess I see it the same way, I see the app as the staging zone, it sends me notification when I want and not when it receives any content/email. I don't understand how other channels are any different. We are still hooked to content being pushed to us right ? Be it Slack or any other social app. What am I missing ?

Email comes with an implicit expectation that I am responsible for hanging on to a copy of the message. It's formal in that way. Email is better for covering one's ass than Slack or SMS. Slack and SMS probably cover an ass for an hour or a day. Email covers an ass for years. Didn't you read it? It was right there in the third message of the attached eight message conversation. Each email is an item on my 'todo' list. That's why getting more of them processed more quickly is appealing but yesterday's Slack is long gone.
