#42So, this looks interesting, but what does the "Tinder for email" analogy have to do with it?
So I’m meeting people over emil now? My emails can hook up with other emails? I don’t understand...

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?
Not sure, but it needs to go away along with all the other feel good nonsense. Like every startup looking for "ninjas, gurus, and rock stars".

#44This takes actions you could perform on dozens of e-mails at once [via checkboxes] and makes it one-at-a-time. Seems inefficient.
Also, I'm not hooking up with people via e-mail, so perhaps drop the Tinder comparison.

Meet other hot HTML5/CSS3 emails in your neighborhood!
On a serious note I was confused too. I guess it's the swiping left/right to read/answer that resembles Tinder

I assume he means the "swipe left or right" aspect of Tinder. That is, responding to an email is just a matter of taking one action.
That's really odd, because Tinder is not known for the "swipe left or right" aspects of their app, more for their reputation as a sex hook-up app.
My confused impression when I read the title was "A sex hook-up app that uses e-mail?"

#48This 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".…
That assumption is the premise of "Inbox 0" which the author uses for inspiration. It considers email to be a ToDo list that any contact can post to.

#49Reading "Tinder for Email" nearly made me headbutt my screen.

I'll admit I spent a couple of minutes trying to establish a link between paired programming and the 'less than 3' before my teenage daughter helped dad out.
