I saw "Imbox" and thought, I will never use this product.
For me it was their marketing message. Empty, annoying, misleading and filled with pats on the back, Apple style. Except I can't find anything innovative
I think imbox is embarrassing, and I don’t like the graphic design, but it’s definitely innovative and good for them for doing something different.

Because he's not an employee of Basecamp / Hey. What makes you say that? https://twitter.com/manuel_frigerio/status/12739352538879098...
