So, this looks interesting, but what does the "Tinder for email" analogy have to do with it?
People need to stop treating the 'X for Y' analogy construct like it's the Uber for analogies.

Unnecessarily harsh. Some people love coding more. :)
Which is great, until it results a implicit-but-really-mandatory 10+ hour workday for everyone (namely, we post-obsessive geeks)

#133I treat emails as open loops. I currently have four in my inbox representing three open loops. I consider "inbox zero" to be a counter-productive strategy focused on the wrong things. I still do GTD-style triage, but I'm more willing to let stuff sit in queues. Inevitably I get sick of looking at it and do something about it, moving it into a backlog or working out a way to just do it right now. But my life isn't one…
I completely agree with this. I manage my inbox the same way and stare at lists thinking that as well. Are you using any different email client right now?

I just use Gmail. At work, I use the Office 365 web mail client. I absolutely hate it, but it gets the job done.

Yea me too. What I really want is something that looks like Trello where the first list is my Inbox, and then there are 2-3 other lists that I can make up like "This week", "Next week" etc.
Software just complicates task lists.

#136Defer sounds a little strange, other than that absolutely something I will try out..
