Inbox

@nbashaw translation: "I'm not telling you guys my billion dollar startup idea." :)

@rrhoover when do we get comment likes? I want to like this haha

@nbashaw Exactly...and this why Gmail will always be very hard to beat.

@nbashaw we are using email as the only front facing part of the "application" over at @xdotai and Amy exist only in the meeting scheduling dialogue. We are building the mail API's ourselves though, but perhaps there is an alternative ..

@rrhoover I thought of my brilliant email-not-email-client startup idea: get a text message alert when someone important emails you.

@bswen It'll be interesting to see how it stacks up vs. Google's upcoming API.

@SomewhatJustin indeed

@SomewhatJustin Gmail API launched already: - http://www.producthunt.com/posts... - https://developers.google.com/gm...

Michael from Inbox here. We've spent a lot of time working to get the API semantics right, to be both backwards compatible and support modern development. One big benefit of using Inbox vs. Gmail's API is that Inbox also works with Yahoo! Mail, Outlook/Hotmail, Microsoft Exchange, and may more coming soon. Plus it's open source, so you can run it yourself. :) Anyone here should feel free to ping me with questions. I'd love to hear feedback about the docs, and can set you up with an invite to the hosted version (think Heroku) which is coming soon. mg@inboxapp.com
