Then Superhuman made a tool to simply deal with email quickly and easily (using vim key bindings no less) and charges $30 a month for it. There’s still a market for simplicity if you look for it.
- lovethevoid 2y agoHow is that a market for simplicity when it’s a tool built on top of and for gmail+outlook that also combines AI for additional email management (with dev-specific additions like vim)?
- dimal 2y agoIt’s the interface. Compared to Outlook, it’s dead simple. It abstracts gmail/outlook away, and doesn’t give you ALL the features of Outlook. It just gives you what you really need. And it’s not dev-specific, they’ve just somehow taught all their users to use vim-style hotkeys to process email faster. I do see a trend of the. adding non-essentials now that they’re successful, but so far the AI additions are minor and haven’t gotten in the way, for me at least.
