- 0x445442 9y agoExactly. And I've grown so weary of all the disjointed UI/UX of the web that I've been shoe horning more and more of my daily workflow and information retrieval into email.
- chiefalchemist 9y agoUnderstood. But it doesn't have to be this way. All that money and brainpower, and no one in SV can fix an obvious and known problem??
- chiefalchemist 9y agoI see it differently. There are tons of things done on email that email (the application, not the msg protocol) wasn't designed for. For example, email is not a collaboration tool. Yet so much of human (team) productivity depends on collaboration. Email doesn't tread well. That is, it's only good for focused single topic conversations. Email keeps passing a copy of previous msgs back n forth, instead of centralizing a single copy. Wave was a step in the right direction, and Google lost its nerve, and vision. Foolish. Yes, it's being extended. But a screwdriver as hammer isn't typically a best practice.
