    I built a side project to solve this for myself that’s basically an inbox toll system. It funnels emails from unknown senders into a hidden mailbox and auto replies to the sender w…

    Ah yes, explains why it takes 3 seconds for a new chat to load after I click new chat in the macOS app.

    Tried it, not impressed. Terrible UX and generally just confusing. Didn't really intuitively know where to go and why. The thing that made me most mad was the clunkiness around pul…
