Requiring full google drive access without explaining why or giving an option to opt out is a no go for me.
Idea seems interesting but I can't see why they would require access to my files.

#32Bit of an aside here so sorry, but did any successful clones of Google Reader live longer than a week? If so could someone point me towards it?
I use Feedbin with a number of apps that use it for synchronization, and it's run as a paid-for service by a reliable dev. https://feedbin.com

We require full Google Drive access for a few reasons:
- Creating action items when you're tagged on any file - Creating action items when any comments are left on your files - Allowing you to search your entire Drive from Monolist
We never store the contents of your actual files. Those are just the permissions necessary to keep you up to date on any Drive action items.

#34Just a heads up, their planned free version limits you to 500 items per month: https://monolist.co/pricing
I absolutely despise this kind of 'free' offering since it's more of a demo than an actual offer. Split it by user count, split it by features but the whole purpose of this thing is rendered moot by that limit.

#35Any Inbox replacement will need to work completely offline. By that I mean it would have to speak to Gmail directly instead of routing my mail through some 3rd party servers.

I've had really good results with Inoreader: https://inoreader.com
Ended up appreciating it so much that I became a paid user.

Well then pay for it?

Oops, that pricing page was actually left up erroneously (thus why it's not linked anywhere). That was a previous pricing model that is no longer active. Monolist is currently entirely free while we're in this open beta and development phase.
We actually abandoned that model because we agree with you. Limiting the number of items per month would be going against the use case of the product.

#39My main use for inbox is snooze - it's allowed me to manage and prioritise emails brilliantly over the last couple of years. I also far prefer the clean interface to Gmail. As a result of the demise of inbox, I'm looking for a replacement, but it will need a native android app for me, alas, so I guess I'll be stuck with Gmail after March 2019...
The new Gmail interface has snooze, so if that's the only thing you're missing it'll stick around. I mostly miss the "Trips" feature, having recently switched from Inbox to new Gmail...
The automatic bundling in Inbox - trips, purchases, finance, etc - is a killer feature for me. I tried going back to gmail and immediately missed it. I'll keep using Inbox until they take it out back, just like Reader.

I would suggest making this an additional permission you ask for when the user has actually seen the product and wants to use this feature.
