Google has launched a new email product called “Inbox”, which has a web version and mobile apps on iOS and Android. The main idea behind Inbox is a card based UI, grouping, and task management for email.
Chris and Jonathan take a look and review the design of the web and mobile versions, listen and find out what we liked, and what we didn’t and most important what we learned about design.
Wanna try Inbox for yourself? We do have some invites left, but the way it’ll work is the first listeners who are subscribed to our email list (look on the top right of the page) and tweet out the link to this episode will get one of our invites. We’ll do it for as long as we have invites left! Click here for a pre-written Tweet, or write your own and tag @DR_Podcast! Best of luck to everyone participating!

One of my favorite things about Inbox is that it takes away the need to go through your email and mark each item as read/unread (unlike traditional email services and the Mailbox app). The emphasis is no longer on the NUMBER of emails you have to read, but what is most important and relevant to you. It takes the stress out of email and makes it digestible.
Thank you for your review, very insightful.
Thanks Niki!
Yeah it’s been great! Theres still a few spots it creates a few extra clicks but overall you are right it relieves some of the stress of digging through it all.
