Xobni: Goodbye, Organize Tab
I just noticed that the search field is purple and the organize tab is gone. I guess they got rid of the organize tab a while ago though.

Joking aside, hats off to xobni for making outlook almost bearable.
- rksprst 18y agoWhy remove it? They can simply make it hidden by default and to enable you go to preferences.

- resetmypassword 18y agoI liked my headline better before the moderators or whatever got to it: "xobni releases major feature: Search bar now purple."

- nertzy 18y agoLess code surface area means less potential bugs to fix that would distract from improving the core functionality.
- ajbatac 18y agoi looks a lot cleaner now than the previous one.
- skmurphy 18y agoI wonder if this is the first impact of a new CEO. There were a number of complaints about the loss of the "stay in touch" functionality. Their focus "Lightning fast search and a view on email that works the way your brain does – by people" would seem to include "stay in touch." Deleting functionality is a tricky decision, this is one area where SaaS gives a startup an advantage since it's much easier to measure real usage patterns.
