I just happened to see this and it felt appropriate to share.
I’m a super long time Gmail user and I honestly appreciate what a good product it’s been. Looking at that screenshot, it doesn’t even feel wildly different than that today, which is pretty wild in web apps land.
I’m still on Mimestream over here, continuing to surprise myself that I like this sort of UI. It forces me to think about the challenges of building an app on top of someone else’s API though. For instance, “snoozing” only works for local Mimestream clients, because apparently Google doesn’t offer a proper API for snoozing it at that level. So when looking at my email on my phone (Gmail app) or another computer, I’ll see emails I snoozed in Mimestream on only my laptop for example.
