I note the tagline says "Enjoy your inbox".
This is liable to create the impression the service is platform-neutral, but it is not. It relies solely on the Gmail API? I don't use Gmail, so your product doesn't work for me.
A simple way to fix this is to adjust the title to the more accurate, "Enjoy your Gmail inbox", thereby enabling us to determine whether it is usable or not.
In the long run, I hope you consider platform-neutral JMAP support once it has matured.
- crossroadsguy 5y agoTo be fair that's literally the 2nd line on the landing page: "Email smarter & faster with a reinvented experience for your Gmail", with the first line having an underlined "Enjoy" - I believe to double convince the future users. On the other hand it definitely looks like another snake oil email client in a long list of snake oil email clients. My another guess is (and I maybe wrong) - it is entirely electron or web based - the apps I mean.

- YPPH 5y agoThe first paragraph is true, but I had to click on the link to discover that. I guess I'm just a bit peeved at the implicit presumption everyone uses Gmail, and therefore, that Gmail APIs cover the field, and therefore that I can enjoy my inbox.
- rockwotj 5y agoHey we don't assume everyone uses Gmail. There are advantages to focusing on Gmail to start - it's got a really large market and it was the fastest way to validate our idea. We have plans to integrate with other email providers and eventually be our own provider as well.
- YPPH 5y agoGlad to hear it.
- rockwotj 5y agoIf more platforms supported JMAP we would totally start with that (it's similar-ish to Gmail's API for what we need). Eventually we will support IMAP/SMTP integrations (maybe by wrapping IMAP in a JMAP proxy).
