Seriously. I managed to talk to a Googler during a recent phone interviewer and I mentioned the fact that I was upset about Inbox going away and he confirmed that it was a controversial decision within the company as well.
I hope with all the Inbox users/developers likely going back to gmail now, it will transition into the Inbox we all know and love.
Gmail categories are not the same thing as bundles. I love how Inbox condenses multiple emails in a single line showing you who the senders are. I think it makes more sense to show the senders before showing the subject of emails, and it's allowed for me to more easily digest the large number of emails I receive daily.
- jordanthoms 8y agoI think the reason Inbox is getting killed is largely because the developers for it are already back working on Gmail - seems after the app got a good reception they we're pretty quickly brought back in. It's a shame really - IMO it would have made sense to keep developing the inbox concept, it is a quite different way of thinking about email, and if it's a separate app it can move faster than something which has to take into account all the legacy of Gmail. Far from the first time a solid Google product dies just because the dev team moves on to other things and nobody's working on it anymore.
