There is making something new, that reinvention, and there is making better use of what is there now.
What you want is not email.
So make what you want, and if it really does reduce the pain of countless people, it will see broad use, right?
And if it does not?
Send me an email, we can talk about it.
Maybe what you want to do can ride in an email?
Great, do that. And again, if countless people feel better, they can run clients that help them feel better.
- lucideer 6y ago> What you want is not email. What I want is email, with the pains ironed out. I do not want anything fundamentally new. I just want to use what I'm currently using, and have it work as it currently works, minus current frustrations. These frustrations vary from person-to-person (mine are numerous, some I'd be happy to live with, but others genuinely bother me daily), so fixing enough of them to appease a large portion of email users is no small task, but I think email is a good enough foundation that doing so is worth pursing. I don't see much value in telling everyone their complaints re: email are invalid and they should accept it as is without improvements. > So make what you want That's a fair point, and maybe I should. It would certainly be better than posting aimlessly about it in internet comments. As mentioned above though, it's no small task.
- ddingus 6y agoI did not tell you those things. You inferred them. And that is OK, no worries. Do make that thing. I will look at it with interest like any new thing.
