You mention below that this "focuses on the developer experience", but it's not clear to me what those developers are going to be developing. I really, really hope that it's not aimed at apps which badger users into granting the app access to their email; that's not something that should ever be encouraged.
You say in your reply to novum that "We know we need to work to gain the trust of developers", but developers aren't the vulnerable ones here. Users are.
- grinich 12y agoOne of the plans we have for the full hosted version is to create an auth flow that scopes permissions granted, kind of like how Facebook apps can only do certain things. So perhaps one app only has access to read mail from flights@virginamerica.com, and another only has the ability to create drafts but not read mail, etc. As for what can be built on top of Inbox, it's really up to the developer. You can build a full-featured mail client, or just add a simple filter. Check out the docs for more details. We also have SDKs for iOS and JS. https://www.inboxapp.com/docs https://www.inboxapp.com/docs
