This is really clean, and the onboarding is great. The UX here is really well done.
I've seen (and used) a ton of really nice, free email clients pop up on PH over the past couple of years (CloudMagic/Newton, Polymail, Nylas) , though, which have gone on to charge upwards of $10/mo once they've established a userbase. What's your long-term plans for monetization? Do you have plans to charge users for the app? Create a suit of premium services (tracking, for example)? Are you going to be acquired by Salesforce in 6 months and make me go crawling back to the Gmail app?

@chrisdolle We plan to launch a Paid version of our product later this year, that focuses on team intelligence and advanced email features. Our intention is to keep all the modern features, chatbot, etc. that we offer now free for individuals. Read receipts is on our roadmap, and you can expect it soon. Advanced email tracking will likely be a Premium feature.
We hope you don't have to go crawling back to the Gmail app! We have a strong vision of bringing AI to workplace communications and we're excited to grow both the product and company.

@chrisdolle I feel your pain Chris. Similar experiences here - even worse I crawl back to Mac Mail!

@emilykramer @chrisdolle If you are going to add read receipt requesting that is ok by me but please add the ability for me to deny a read receipt - it is, IMHO, a great waste of email bandwidth, a horrible management tactic, and a tactic often used by spammers to track down who accidentally read their email. I'd also love to see the AI deployed to defeat open/read beaconing services.
