So, this looks interesting, but what does the "Tinder for email" analogy have to do with it?

Looks great, but agree w the Tinder part not resonating. Isn't this more "Getting Things Done - by David Allen" for email? [1]

This assumes an inbox is a type of "project" that needs to be "completed". It's structured on the concept of removing messages from my screen until there is nothing left for me to "do".

My inbox is often more of a conversation that I fade in and out of. Sometimes it resembles a facebook feed. Granted, I'm not a type A personality, but not all email is has to be "done" anymore than all reading books need to be "done". They can be continuous reference or contemplation for a time.

I guess it depends on if we are talking about work email or personal email. Perhaps even more, it's just about perception.

"Made with <3 while procrastinating on actually dealing with email."

I think my next project, I'm going to say "Made with little sleep, frustration, and no social life".

Off topic, but who started this "Made with <3" thing?
