Is there any good todo manager with reminders and saved link with a snooze function like Inbox? or is there any way to see those in Gmail?

#152I saw this coming when it took Google months to update the Inbox app for the iPhoneX. The regular gmail app was updated almost instantly. I started weaning myself off of Inbox then, even though it finally was updated.

I think it’s iOS/Android only — which is a pity because a lot of people still prefer a laptop/desktop — although it works well enough for me. https://get.google.com/trips/ https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/google-trips-plan-your-trip/... https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.and...
I don't mean to be too sarcastic here but what's the point? Google will just shut that down in a few weeks too.
Yet, sadly, accidental sarcasm occurs alarmingly often... :-)
In all honesty, feel free to use something like Tripit — see my response to the parent.
Re: Google is discontinuing Inbox
#154Very disappointing. I feel like this is retrograde -- my impression is that Gmail is a very advanced tool for people who care (by choice or professional obligation) about their email, whereas Inbox was a huge leap forwards for people who just want to avoid wasting time on email. And I kind of thought the latter was more forward-looking.

#155Everyone suspected it for a while. Their active Twitter account refused for months to say when the app would be updated for the iPhone X. Personally, I suspect that they painted themselves into a bit of a corner with the tech stack they choose for Inbox. They used a unique C++ to JS compiler to run Inbox in the browser. This worked decently well in Chrome, but the experience in other browsers has been a lot choppier.…
When you have a successful product people love, you don't sunset it because the tech stack is too cumbersome. This has to mean that the product wasn't seeing the adoption they were hoping for.
Well, you're talking about product strategy in context of google..

How can I get bundles in Gmail? Am I missing something?
Settings -> Inbox -> Categories is analogous, although IMO the UI isn't as nice. I also don't know if that lets you do custom bundles, although that's a feature I never used in Inbox. Edit: and the gmail version of bundles has fewer categories than Inbox does
Sorry, not even close. Categories is just automatic folders, every email client has had folders for decades.

#157I don't mean to throw out the same old "you can't get attached to Google products because they kill them at any time" thing, but holy shit, this one feels like a real kick in the balls. Email is one of my most important workflows and I've spent a great deal of time over the past few years attaching myself to the zero inbox mindset through the bundles feature and having my reminders as first class citizens in the inbox. Going back to Gmail without these features is a serious regression in my life.
Re: Google is discontinuing Inbox
#158There's been some revisionist history out there, but Inbox was intended to be "the next version of Gmail" at the time, until a near revolt internally about how the Gmail team "ruined Gmail" led them to launch it as a "separate product" instead.
Now that there's a new new version of Gmail, which was rolled out a couple of months ago that hasn't upset everyone, it's unsurprising the unloved stepchild of the family is going away.
Old Gmail was version 1, Inbox was version 2, and the new Gmail is version 3.

#159If someone makes a clone that I can plug my @gmail.com account into, or just forward from, I will be a paying customer.

Trips was the killer feature. I hope they port it. The ability to collect all my related information (a particular trip for example) into a single view was genius.
Alternatively, you can try Tripit[1] which has more features, but there is definitely more friction involved as you either need to grant access to your email account or manually forward emails. [1] https://www.tripit.com
I don't know if its just me, but TripIt feels like a polished iPhone app that was begrudgingly ported to Android.
That being said, I'm on Android and do use it to manage all my trip data. Prior to that, I was using various versions of Worldmate.
