That is sadly related to the fact that email as a platform is pretty much dead outside small niches. Very few applications are built on top of email. Of course that is also chicken and egg problem; without good security story its bit difficult to build anything on it these days.
- na85 7y ago>email as a platform is pretty much dead outside small niches. Perhaps from the POV of The Valley, but I can assure you that email is alive and well elsewhere.
- afiori 7y agobut it is not in anything close to a growth in many senses. email will be alive forever as far as I am concerned (just a few months ago a friend of mine managed to send an actual telegram) and probably will be the major player in enterprise communications. but it had sort of reached a plateau in term of functionality. (on this topic I am actually optimistic for JMAP to help revitalize the field)
- johannes1234321 7y agoThere is a key area where mail is central: The "I lost my password" feature of websites. Apple ID, Google+ (or whatever they call it now) and Facebook login replace it to some degree (especially on mobile device apps) but for far most websites newly created passwords or activation links are sent via regular mail unprotected.
