@graeme_fulton Hey brother Graeme! ❤️ Thank you man. PS: Loving what you're doing with Letter and looking forward to trying it out!

@joey_tawadrous Will this product stick around for a while? At least some years? I really miss Inbox reminders, but I am afraid to jump on this just to be discontinued in a year.

@fancsiki I do not plan to close the project down. It's been received wonderfully and I love that the community is already jumping into planning the roadmap with me! https://trello.com/b/WZbLY594/da...

@anthilemoon Thank you, Anne 😁 I really wanted to release sooner however I wanted to build more features to make sure DarwinMail was a product worth trying out 👨‍💻 So now we have features like dark mode, undo send and custom backgrounds that you can try out 🤓

@frcbls 👋 hey buddy! Thank you so much 😊 I think so too. Although I’ve been using it for months 🤓 I hope you enjoy using Darwin Mail. Let me know if you have any feedback.
Gus Varela Raggio
Well done @joey_tawadrous!!! are you planing to allow other type email accounts?
Joey Tawadrous
Maker
@gusraggio Yes, absolutely! Thank you for asking. I'm currently working on the web app. With our Product Hunt release, our being on the front page of Hacker News, and all the suggestions and feedback coming in, I should have enough information to make DarwinMail extremely stable. After it has achieved this stability, I will add support for more email clients!
Andrew Brodsky
Thank you for doing this! As a a person who used Inbox all day long I needed a suitable replacement. I spread the word on Twitter for you! Good luck and keep innovating!
Joey Tawadrous
Maker
@andrewjb44 you and me both! It wasn’t just my email management client, it was also my todo list! I had grown so used to the interface that it would have been unproductive to switch! Thank you for spreading the positive vibes 😊
Michael Schultz
I was hoping that some talented people would create something to use after Inbox. You even made it better, congrats! And thank you :)

@filterfreak words cannot express how kind you are and how much I appreciate your comment! I will continue to make Darwin better and better for you and for all 🙏

I miss inbox, and will definitely be giving this a try
Joey Tawadrous
Maker
@gcwelborn Thank you so much Cruz :) Please let me know if you have any feedback!
Francoo
im upvoting for the effort, but i, as a power user of web email, do not see anything new. How is this better than native gmail (web desktop + mobile native) ? Very much of the features are out of the box in gmail, right ?
Joey Tawadrous
Maker
@francoolaami Thank you for your question :) 1. I understand that the product can only become great if each & every suggestion is listened to, so thank you! 2. DarwinMail has a public roadmap, public changelog, and open lines of communication. 3. The primary focus of Darwin Mail is to help you be productive. Each and every change is made for that sole reason. They're 3 reasons why I believe DarwinMail is worth the try!
Brandt Krueger
Are the reminders integrated with Google reminders? I use Assistant all the time to create reminders, and one of Inbox's killer features was to pull those in and have them all right there
Joey Tawadrous
Maker
@brandt_krueger Hey Brandt! :) Thank you. I too use Google calendar quite a lot. To add the reminders I create in DarwinMail to Google calendar would be an amazing lift in productivity. I personally want this feature and will work on it sooner rather than later. You can see it in the roadmap here: https://www.darwinmail.app/feedb... Thank you for your suggestion.
Lachlan Kirkwood
Congrats on the launch, looking forward to integrating this into my workflow!

@lachlankirkwood Thank you very much, Lachlan :D Let me know if you have any comments or suggestions :)

I'm not sure why, but I got a promotional spam email from joeytawadrous@gmail.com about this - if you want us to give you access to our emails for your application why would you send spam from a personal email with no info on how you get our emails (for me, it was my personal one)
Joey Tawadrous
Maker
@gmail @harrystrick Harry, the only people I sent a mail to are my newsletter subscribers!
Harry Strick
@gmail @joey_tawadrous Oh I see now, I subscribed to AppLandr 3 years ago which now redirects to Darwin Mail, I'm pretty sure you can't send out a promotional email when it was acquired for a different service
Joey Tawadrous
Maker
@gmail @harrystrick I hope you unsubscribed as I cannot see any mention of your name in any email I sent! I'm sorry that I bothered you. I switched from Mailchimp to MailerLite a few years back as Mailchimp was so expensive and I guess I made a mess of something during the export/import of my lists. I've been sending regular emails though with good open and click rates, so you must have received a bunch! Why didn't you unsubscribe years ago when I moved mail clients?
Harry Strick
@gmail @joey_tawadrous Your emails were in my spam folder (as people have been flagging it as spam, as it is sent from a personal email, not a company email), I saw you on here + an email about this in my spam and wondered why I was receiving it.
Joey Tawadrous
Maker
@gmail @harrystrick Luckily, my emails are rarely marked as spam. I guess you did it a while back :)
R. Fancsiki

Just tested it, I would say this is a beta going in the good direction, but still not ready for real life use. I don't know how to react to this. I would simply say I will be back with my money when it's ready, but then maybe the developer needs the money to complete it. I'll keep an eye on this.

Pros:

Finally something to replace Inbox!

Cons:

The snoozed and done labels are empty, this is a bug. The scroll is scrolling the view out of the viewport. An overall feeling of beta.

Andreas Wagner

I like the app.

Pros:

Smart just like Inbox...

Cons:

Bundles would be nice
