Ask HN: Someone working on a Inbox (by Gmail) alternative?

All I want is to have reminders/todo's in the same list as my emails.

I don't want anything else. Just plain and simple. Would pay $10/month for it. No Slack or Gdocs or whatever integrations.

Do you know anyone working on this?

Would you trust some fresh company with your e-mail? (remember about the "I forgot my password" feature on accounts associated with that e-mail)

Airmail for macOS tries to do that: http://docs.airmailapp.com/airmail-for-mac/services-provided..., https://thesweetsetup.com/apps/favorite-email-client-os-x/

I'm very tempted to create this...

Looks cool, but it doesn't seem that one can add reminders to the same hierarchy as emails. Also, I have an Android.

Thanks for sharing, my feedback (only for my case, so don't take it as absolute):

- Too complicated

- Mobile app is a must for email

- Can't add reminders

Cool. In my case, I would need a better UI and a mobile client (from what I can see from your videos it doesn't have both).
