I've been using InboxSDK for a SaaS project add-on and I would love to go to an official API and have it work on GSuite mobile apps.
We (Streak yc s11) were a launch partner on this and launched our Add-on today. Even though we already have a chrome extension for desktop, add-ons allowed us to live inside the native Gmail mobile apps. Happy to answer any questions about the add-on platform....
If not, they should probably consolidate the two.
I wonder if this is just "contextual gadgets"[1] that have existed for paid gsuite/gmail for a while. If not, they should probably consolidate the two. [1] https://developers.google.com/gmail/gadgets_overview
Nothing new here, all this and more can be accomplished by a simple browser extension.
Is that notify link for general availability in the post working for anyone? I'm getting an authorization error. I've been using InboxSDK for a SaaS project add-on and I would love to go to an official API and have it work on GSuite mobile apps.
We're planning on writing a post for how InboxSDK + Add-ons plays nicely together.
Coming later today but in the meantime, tl;dr is we suggest having both if you're doing anything more than a sidebar. We (Streak) are doing both - to get more powerful API's on desktop but still having functionality on mobile.

Edit: Looks like you build the add-ons with Google AppsScript. Very similar to Microsoft Office + VBA, on the web this time.
There's a CodeLab tutorial showing how to build a basic add-on that populates a Google Sheets file with receipt data from emails: https://codelabs.developers.google.com/codelabs/gmail-add-on...
Not much info in this particular message, but I wonder if this could be used with GPG to send and receive encrypted emails. I'm sure browser sandboxing would be an issue (hard to keep a key private when it's uploaded to another server and used in a browser window)... but still, the possibility would be pretty awesome.
I wonder though how reasonable my assumption is. E.g. how many security issues in the past two years could have potentially caused my key to be compromised if I were to use it that way.

What were you using before? InboxSDK or something similar that Streak developed? Have you had any issues with limitations in the official add-on API?
EDIT: if you look at the docs of the www.inboxsdk.com/docs there is a lot of functionality above and beyond the sidebar API that add-ons offers.
