Very impressive. Well thought out onboarding, clean UI and makes use of the same shortcurts as Gmail.
Emily Kramer
@ebsalberto Thanks! Happy to hear you like it.
Nathan Baschez
@emilykramer @ebsalberto +1 for same shortcuts as gmail :) One suggestion - when writing an email, i usually hit "tab" then "enter" to send. If you added support for that, it'd be amazing!

Astro was made by some true SV legends who have made some of the world’s best email software. They’re back at it with a clean easy to use email client built from the ground up that makes great use of AI, has fast search and all the modern features you would expect. I’m pretty psyched to make Astro my primary email client.
Vlad Arbatov
I'm so eager to use Astro to it's full potential, but unfortunately I have two other mail providers besides Gmail: Fastmail (primary mail) and Yandex (work mail). Is there a chance SMTP is coming soon?
Emily Kramer
@vladzima IMAP is coming later this year and that will allow you to use Yandex and Fastmail.
Emily Kramer
@vladzima All good, the email acronyms get confusing :)

I tried it out but got the "registrations are disabled" after trying to register my Gmail account. Are you not accepting new registrations? I'd love to try it.
Emily Kramer
@joshkerr We're experiencing really high demand (thanks Product Hunt!) and are throttling new accounts. We'll let you know as soon as we are able to add more accounts. Sorry about that!
Josh Kerr
@emilykramer seems like a missed opportunity. Do you lack the funds to auto-scale your infrastructure? Or is it a lack the technical know how?

Started using Astro on Tuesday and I can't imagine going back to Inbox by Gmail! My favorites: - Priority Inbox with notifications that matter - Astrobot reminding me to unsubscribe and detecting questions to be answered Waiting for calendar integration and the ability to open links in Chrome for iOS.

Congrats on the launch! I know how hard it is to make a great email app, and this looks like a good first release. :)

Looks like you are no longer accepting accounts. That's bad.
Emily Kramer
@mrahmadawais We turned on a waitlist yesterday, but are letting people in throughout the day today!

Been testing Astro for the past couple of months, feels like a spiritual successor of Mailbox (I don't drop that name lightly)
Emily Kramer
@maxvoltar Thanks Tim! "Spiritual Successor of Mailbox" just might have to be our new tagline.
Dean Ward
My god that website is beautiful!
Emily Kramer
@realdeanward Thanks Dean. We were going for the "floating in space" vibe.

Any chance to see a Windows version soon?
Emily Kramer
@barisergin Working on it and also hiring a dedicated Windows engineer! We want to bring Astro to all platforms, Android is up next, but Windows is also a priority. We know the mail app options on Windows are very limited and that's a gap we hope to fill.

Seems pretty great on my iPhone, guess I waited too long to install on MacOS before the beta filled up.
Emily Kramer
@zachsekar We'll be adding new accounts soon (in the next 24 hours). Thanks for your patience and happy you're liking it on iPhone.

I'm in love, and I HATE email clients. You have to try it to understand!

Pros:

Clean UI, So smart, Efficient, Pretty, Tracks emails!

Cons:

None so far

Sounds interesting. Waiting for the invite.

Love Astro! I downloaded the Mac app a couple weeks back and found my productivity jump through the roof. Astrobot is AI that actually works. The VIP list, Tips and the chat interface to personalize my experience helped get to zero Inbox quickly. When used in a group/team setting, I can only imagine how effective it will be. Do you plan to integrate with other web and messaging services in the future as well?
Emily Kramer
@viral_kadakia Thanks for being one of our early users. Integrations are on the way...more on that soon!
Scott Robinson
Absolutely brilliant product and gutted they've sold out. What are people thinking of as an alternative?
Rick Robinson
I'll be happy when someone embeds a browser so i can view sites inline without leaving mail

gmail forwarding email doesn't work. :(

@menjxo Hi Menj, we're not sure what you mean. If you already have forwarding enabled in Gmail, we shouldn't be doing anything to disrupt that. If you can describe the scenario you're trying, that can help us figure it out.
Menj
@apflaum Hi tried to forward all my backup gmail "emails" to my main "gmail" email but "astro" wasn't able to fetch it. But on my "airmail" email client, I can see all the forwarded emails. I hope this can help you trace what's wrong with the "astro".
Emily Kramer
We just launched a Slack integration and Alexa Skill today, check it out: https://www.producthunt.com/post...

Just wanted to give everyone a heads up, we're throttling new accounts right now during our in-app add account process. This is due to high demand (so thanks for your support). In the next hour or so we'll be allowing more new users into the app. Thanks for your patience! 😌
Jeremy Cai
@emilykramer would love to give it a shot! :)

How does their AI compare to Notion? I haven't been able to get in yet 😟
