Immersion: a people-centric view of your email life
- foxbarrington 11y agoEven with the assumption that this app is perfectly trustworthy, it takes some nerves of steel to hit "Allow" when asked if the app can: View, manage, and permanently delete your mail in Gmail Create, update, and delete labels Compose and send new email
- hellbanner 11y agoI like this Mac email app which has a different thread for each email address you communicate with: https://www.uniboxapp.com/ https://www.uniboxapp.com/
- contingencies 11y agoCan't see any relevance to the core graphing meme here at all.
- hellbanner 11y agoIt's a "people centric mailbox". instead of a email-subject centered mailbox like most.
- erikb 11y agoIt's funny how the whole page doesn't say what I get for logging in. From the video I guess it shows me a graph view of the people? Why would I want or need that? Why is it a big deal? I haven't thought about it in depth but it sounds like a weekend student project. I have seen such graphs of many things, github commits, keyword clouds, etc, and not once did I have the feeling it's giving me more than being a nice effect. It's not a good way to do real analysis or work on daily (simple, boring bar charts for amounts or tree views for relationships are much better in my experience). So, stepping aside from expressing my disappointment: Did anybody log in? What does it do?
- anigbrowl 11y agoI did. What it says on the tin. It's very useful, because I like directed acyclic graphs.
- Nullabillity 11y agoThere is a demo next to the sign-in options.
- erikb 11y agoReally haven't seen that one. That helped a lot.
- mtVessel 11y agoFor what it's worth, you're not alone in that feeling. People love to make graph visualizations, but I rarely see the practical benefit. Mind you, a good deal of my professional life has been spent as a data modeler. I would love better ways of visualizing complex relationships. But graphing everything doesn't seem to help.
