Can't remember ever being more excited to share a Google product with the world. Has completely changed how I use email.
...so better than Wave? I remember how excited I was when Wave came out :-)
Wave had so much potential
Agreed! I was surprised when it didn't find its way into G+. It could have been a great differentiator vs. Facebook. Every wall post could turn into a live group chat.
And now it's dead :'(
From what I've initially gathered, Google is centralizing the many inboxes we all have (email, to-dos, flight reservations, receipts, etc.). Here's a lovely GIF: Seems like something that should be a part of Google Now/Android notification tray.
Invite on its way, bud.
would love an invite too!
I'd appreciate an invite as well, my inbox is a zoo!
same here, I want to check it out :)
Would also love one! Thanks.
1. Best product I've seen developed by a non-research team at Google in 3 years. 2. It's like Mailbox if Mailbox could do what Mailbox hoped to do. 3. Glad it's finally out for everyone to use.
From your comment in #2, was this a response to Mailbox? Also curious if anyone from the old Sparrow team worked on Inbox.
Someone asked if this was like Mailbox, and my response is that I think both of these awesome teams are trying to help people communicate better and be more effective. I think in terms of execution Inbox is ahead of Mailbox thanks to integrations with Google's other services. I have a ton of respect for both teams and wish them well as we try to navigate digital communication.
had the same thought RE: Sparrow team.
Inbox was under development long before Mailbox sold to Dropbox.
Thanks for your insights.
So...who has invites?
+1 the invite thirst is real
Absolutely real...even *I* want one and I'm not a bandwagon jumper on stuff like this usually...
If anyone is sharing invites, definitely interested too
Who's got the Invitez! is bouncing:)
I'll throw my name in the invite hat!

I have a few invites. Tweet/DM me your gmail address and I'll add as many of you as I can...
Following you now to get one of those coveted invites!
I'm not sure I want Google–or any ad-supported service for that matter–host my todo list (here come the todovertisements!), but it's encouraging to see at least one big player innovate in this area. Looking forward to try it out! In case anyone is interested in the topic of structured inboxes, I [theorized]() about this before and there's now a team at Assembly [working]() to make it a reality. There seems to be quite a lot of similarities with Google's Inbox, although I'd say it's a bit more ambitious and useful to people that get a lot of emails. (Google seems focussed on casual email users.)

Just got another batch of invites. First 5 replies to this comment get an invite.
laura.glu@gmail please!
Invite please :-) myname@gmail
Hey Rick. Can you send one this way? Thanks! todd [AT] eventjoy [DOT] com
The invite system is a cruel tease for early adopters. Anyone want to share?
Looking for a replacement for Mailbox. Installed Acompli today but don't know what to think of that yet. Would love to get an invite for iOS!
Been using this alongside Mailbox. Not a huge win IMO - the swipe is opposite direction too which is maddening. The files surfacing is nice, but not daily use. The "important" box isn't enough of a win either (and I get like 200-300 emails a day so you'd think it would be). Excited to try Inbox.
I use both too (before Inbox). You can now choose the swipes in Mailbox, so you could map them to be the same as Acompli.
Ok I need this!
