Beautiful app! Any plans to add read receipts like Polymail?
Maker
Yes, that's high on our roadmap!
Love Astro! I downloaded the Mac app a couple weeks back and found my productivity jump through the roof. Astrobot is AI that actually works. The VIP list, Tips and the chat interface to personalize my experience helped get to zero Inbox quickly. When used in a group/team setting, I can only imagine how effective it will be. Do you plan to integrate with other web and messaging services in the future as well?
Maker
Thanks for being one of our early users. Integrations are on the way...more on that soon!
I felt lied to. You asked for my email in the context of an on-boarding experience and then _after I'd given it_ told me I was signing up for a waiting list. Of course I was disappointed that I would have to wait but more importantly I felt deceived into giving my email. If the signup flow had been honest about the wait list I probably still would have given you my email but I would have had many fewer negative thoughts about the process.
Maker
This isn't the normal experience, we're experiencing server overload right now. Normally, you get right in. We're sorry to have mislead you and we're working on resolving the issue so you can add accounts!
Thanks for the reply Emily. I understand. I just wanted to communicate that the current flow undermined a bit of my trust (which is a critical thing when dealign with email). I think it's a solvable issue either by altering the signup flow or, as you say, the harder but more permanent way: fixing the underlying performance issues.
Maker
Working on both. Thanks for the feedback.
Also not a fan of this, but I think a quick fix would be to queue and show where someone would be as if you were waiting in line to talk to an agent (since that's the model you are going for).
Maker
Tarun, yes we did what we could due to the high demand. Definitely a learning experience, and we hope people will give us a try when we open back up the waitlist.
Maker
Just wanted to give everyone a heads up, we're throttling new accounts right now during our in-app add account process. This is due to high demand (so thanks for your support). In the next hour or so we'll be allowing more new users into the app. Thanks for your patience! 😌
would love to give it a shot! :)

I've been a delighted user of Astro almost since launch. And now they have sold to Slack - and are immediately shutting down.

Can anyone recommend a good email/calendar client?

Pros:

It was awesome.

Cons:

It is gone.

give tryscribe.com a shot. Its free to start off with
likewise I've really enjoyed using Astro, now I'm going to give these services a try
Try Consider! We just launched today--
7 months later and I'm still looking for a good alternative. Have you had any luck with anything?
How are you different to Notion?
Maker
We think Notion is doing some exciting stuff, and we're both focused on bringing intelligence to Inbox. But, we're taking different approaches. -We're focused on conversational AI, we think our chatbot is the best way to remind you about important messages and questions, prompt you about emails to unsubscribe from, archive, and move; and help you with basic productivity tasks. -Astro is available on Mac and iOS, so right now you can use Astro across devices. Notion is currently only available on mobile. -We think you’ll find our Priority Inbox experience, as well as Inbox Zap, to be more helpful in keeping your inbox clean long-term -We also offer modern email features. We have scheduled delivery/send later, one-click unsubscribe, and mute, which aren't currently available in Notion (to my knowledge). -Notion does currently has an Alexa skill, ours is coming soon. Generally though, we're excited to see how AI can solve info overload, and are excited to continue to see what Notion does.
Excited that try it out 👍🏼
Maker
Thanks, let us know what you think!
missed out on downloading it in time. Oh well
I guess I missed the window to download it - sigh
Any chance to see a Windows version soon?
Maker
Working on it and also hiring a dedicated Windows engineer! We want to bring Astro to all platforms, Android is up next, but Windows is also a priority. We know the mail app options on Windows are very limited and that's a gap we hope to fill.
Been testing Astro for the past couple of months, feels like a spiritual successor of Mailbox (I don't drop that name lightly)
Maker
Thanks Tim! "Spiritual Successor of Mailbox" just might have to be our new tagline.
I tried it out but got the "registrations are disabled" after trying to register my Gmail account. Are you not accepting new registrations? I'd love to try it.
Maker
We're experiencing really high demand (thanks Product Hunt!) and are throttling new accounts. We'll let you know as soon as we are able to add more accounts. Sorry about that!
seems like a missed opportunity. Do you lack the funds to auto-scale your infrastructure? Or is it a lack the technical know how?
