Would You Pay $30 a Month to Check Your Email?
- Zekio 7y agoI would rather pay 30 bucks a month to not have to check my email
- ziddoap 7y ago>In my case, Mr. Vohra spent a full hour teaching me how to use the app’s features. Superhuman, which plugs into your existing email account, works with only Gmail and Google G Suite addresses for now, but the company plans to expand to other providers soon. I'm certainly not paying $30/mo for something I need an hour long tutorial just to use, to replace something I'm quite satisfied with. >But there are bells and whistles that I hadn’t seen before. Like “instant intro,” which moves the sender of an introductory email to bcc, saving you from having to manually re-enter that person’s address. Or the scheduling feature, which sees that you’re typing “next Tuesday” and automatically pulls up your calendar for that day. Cool features, but worth $30 to save 5 seconds here and there? Not for me, at least. >Superhuman promises to help V.I.P.s get through their inboxes twice as fast. Partly, that’s because every command has a keyboard shortcut, so a busy power broker never has to waste precious seconds reaching for the mouse Could this not be accomplished with AHK or something similar? I'm not positive, but I feel like it could. >“We have the who’s who of Silicon Valley at this point,” Superhuman’s founder, Rahul Vohra, told me in an interview. The waiting list is actually 180,000 people long, he said, and some people are getting desperate. Perhaps I'm just out of touch, though. Those are some fairly substantial numbers.
