I've tried seemingly every mail client on the planet, and Shortwave is the one that stuck. If you have a gmail account — especially a work account — and feel like you're drowning in crap email, Shortwave can move you through it like a knife through warm butter.
Hey HN, we analyzed more than 1.5M meetings, 80k engineers, and 5k companies to create the 2022 Engineering Meeting Benchmark Report. Some good stuff in here about how engineers and eng managers use their time.
I've been a user of shortwave for a couple months now, and I emphatically recommend giving it a try. I'm a very persnickety software snob and tried almost every email client without it sticking. I'm sure this won't be for everyone, but if you've struggled to get to inbox zero, I recommend giving it a try.
The channels are a cool addition, but most of the value for me is just the ease with which I can process volumes of email.
