Show HN: I miss Google Inbox and built a replacement

[DarwinMailApp]

Hello HN I’m Joey, the maker of DarwinMail [1].

DarwinMail enhances Gmail to get your Google Inbox features back.

Features - bundles, snoozing, reminders, dark mode, bulk actions, undo send, custom backgrounds, templates, & much more.

Darwin Mail will evolve to become great over time, thanks to its users, and thanks to you [2].

I would love to answer any questions you have!

PS: Would you like 20% off the yearly plan? [3]

Some of Inbox's features you have mentioned are available in Gmail now.

I use fastmail instead of gmail, but would love to be able to use inbox features. Maybe you can support other email providers as well?

Hello, The post from 3 months ago was for the launch. For months and months before the launch I was working hard on DarwinMail.

I received so so much helpful feedback and support on launch day... I was simply blown away.

Since the launch, I have been improving DarwinMail and implementing new features that have been requested.

Early morning, after hours, weekends and during dinner time is when I work on DarwinMail and I love doing so. One of the main features requested since the launch was bundles and I only recently added that feature to DarwinMail.

Please, allow me to receive the same kind of valuable feedback I once received. It was wonderful to hear so many valuable thoughts and I would be over the moon if it happened again.

Could be better to detail changes since then in a blog post, then share that.

I used Inbox very heavily when it came out and loved it, but then I moved away from GMail in my attempt to de-google as much as possible. I now use the Spark[1] mail client. Its good, not amazing, but good.

This looks nice, but of course being tied to gmail means I can't use it.

Kudos to OP for replying to every comment with the type of unbridled innocent optimism that is devoid from most marketing materials. I'm not sure I can use this until it gains a companion mobile app; but I'm glad someone is working in the space and that they happen to be very, very kind.

Awhhh you are so kind!!

It truly warms my heart to hear such positive feedback, and personal feedback even!

I really appreciate it. And I am smiling from ear to ear.

The mobile apps are perhaps the most requested add on! I'm currently building out our features as requested by users and ironing out the bugs.

I hope to convert the web app into mobile apps / create native apps very very soon.

Thanks again :)

Hello and thank you for your feedback.

I am really terribly sorry for any trouble this has caused.

DarwinMail currently uses a cookie for your email address once you have authenticated with it.

I am however in the process of removing this cookie and using local storage instead :)

Your kind words mean the world to me. It's such an amazing feeling to receive positive feedback on something you built from the ground up.
