I still doubt _anyone_ really uses it because all the supposed users are over the top effervescent in its praise without saying anything about why, or what. No details. I actually did get an invite from a forum on Lowendtalk... followed the link, gave some info (no about an6 email accounts) and then I had to complete a questionnaire about my usage! Never had to do that for an app before, so I back out and pinged the ceo to remove me from their system. I don’t know. Seems off. Somehow. After reading the article there is still a dearth of details other than saying users “experience joy”, and that it is fast. Nothing about what generates the joy, of what exactly is fast about it. Avoid!

They pretty strongly adhere to "The Collision Installation" [0] in that they want to give you an in-depth product overview in a consultation before they give it to you. > Nothing about what generates the joy, of what exactly is fast about it. There's a keyboard shortcut for everything, and the UI actively trains you if you somehow don't use a keyboard shortcut to do something. It sounds intrusive, but it's not. The actual performance in terms of latency between user input and action is optimized too, which makes everything feel super fast. They also optimize some types of actions so that some specific workflows are faster (like reading every email with auto-advance). It's the combination of these things that make it fast.

  Building a theory of businest around wrapping an old idea in a weird attempt at a pun an founder cult of personality worship; is that really where Silicon Valley is today? This is Conjoined Triangles of Success level of ridiculous.
