The big question in my life is whether an app can succeeed in 2019 without manipulating user psychology like this.
I built Pony [0], an email platform that delivers once a day, to see if this is possible. In the UI I eschewed every traditional user manipulation technique I could think of: there are no notifications, there are no unread message counts. There even isn’t read/unread message state.
I truly wonder whether people can adapt to a totally unstructured online platform, an unguided, unprompted experience that they create for themselves. My bet is they can.
