Will it support categorising trips like Inbox did?

BUNDLES are LIVE on DarwinMail. You asked for it and you got it! Some have called bundles 'The next evolution of email'. With DarwinMail, now you can use them too. https://www.darwinmail.app

Hello HN I’m Joey, the maker of Darwin Mail. — Darwin Mail aims to help you be your most productive when dealing with emails & todos. Problem Inbox by Google was one of the best products they ever made. And then they shut it down. Solution Introducing Darwin Mail, which aims to replace and become better than Google Inbox ever was. Features - Snoozing, Reminders, Dark Mode, Undo Send, Custom Backgrounds, Templates, &…

My girlfriend (who works at Google!) really misses Inbox and specifically the "stacks" feature (whatever that was -- I was not a user myself). She'd easily pay for premium for that specific feature. Apparently it's a common complaint in her group. I didn't see this on your list: is it planned?

So far we've signed up and tested Darwin mail's free version using Brave browser. The layout looks very familiar to the now defunct Inbox by Google. Great job with the design and familiarity. In talking through the service, we've found that it is slow on mobile at this stage in the development. At one point the menu under your Google photo (the one with settings in it) got stuck on the screen even when opening the si…

Oh man this looks great, thanks Joey! I just made a couple of feature requests, Bundles and Mass Archive. But the whole thing looks and feels great, I'm super excited about it. Let me know when you support multiple accounts and I'll happily drop you some cash (for silly reasons I have a few accounts, and i'm not eager to juggle multiple clients).

I got really excited by the title, but as other people have mentioned, bundles are really important to me. Can I sign up for a mailing list somewhere?

Looks great and I do miss the old Inbox design but like many people have said the main Inbox feature I miss is bundles. Do you have any plans to add similar bundling functionality? Just saw you said you do intend to support it! Let me know when this is done and you can have all of my money :D

Can I select all?

A very simple request! Select all emails I'm guessing? Funnily enough, you can't - not yet! But I've added that to my todo list.

Yes -- it's a simple and useful feature that's been missing from Inbox and Gmail Mobile for years. Thank you!

Earlier quoted context omitted.

But browser extensions can't be used on mobile?

perhaps not on mobile chrome (it's been a while since I've tried) but certainly on mobile firefox and mobile samsung (which is chrome rebadged). I'd not say - go and build this as an extension on mobile; but if you have the code built to run as an extension, it should be fairly quick to repackage it as a standalone mobile app, i.e. get a dedicated instance of the browser that runs your app). Another successful exampl…

That is a very good point!

Thank you for the feedback!

Wow!! Thank you so much for the lovely feedback I really appreciate it! Please let me know if you want any features added!

same here! i am toying with the idea of using darwin in supplement to gmail, maybe narrow down my mail to a todo list and then use darwin to work through it... will use it a bit more and get back to you with feedback

Thank you so much buddy!

Be sure to let me know of any feedback you have :)
