Mailbox app

[Daniel Suo]

Can someone explain to me why this is so great?

I'm not hating in the sense that I think it's great that someone has created this wonderful UI, but they haven't solved a technically challenging problem (took a look under the hood / tried to build a mail app myself earlier this year).

We could easily make this better.

For example, to build on Michael's idea of the easiest self-emailing app, you could create a set of gestures and an API to develop an arbitrary set of actions.

I never use the Trash action, so that's 25% of the gestures wasted for me. Guys, can we build a better Mailbox?

More things to add: mail should sync and load in the background, not when I open (a bit of a hairy problem, but Sunrise dealt with it). I should also be able to use customized Gmail labels (though this is a much easier fix for them to expose).

Yeah just started using mailbox and was surprised that Dropbox paid 30M for them. I guess though I already organize my inbox as a todo list, and mailbox merely brought this to the masses with a convenient iPhone app.

Apparently it was way more, but Kane probably knows better.

Only $50 was cash, remainder was stock. Not sure what type of stock.
