I have a Gmail for Business account but can't seem to add it. Is this just for plain Gmail accounts at the moment?

@robin_dhara1 hey Robin, can you please tell me what kind of error message you see saying it's not working? That would be helpful for me to troubleshot for you. I will also try it on my end and see if I can reproduce it.

Hi there, My name is Fang-Pen, you may know me via my previous pet project Avataaars Generator on Product Hunt. Here I am going to introduce my exciting new product Zero Inbox. I always wanted a simple iPhone email app that can help myself achieve zero inbox. And to get zero inbox, I found it really hard to do that with most email apps out there. Sometimes they are just too complex and doesn't fit my needs. I like swipe actions a lot, I found what I want is really awesome swipe actions for doing all my routines on daily basis. So, to push the limit of swipe action experience, I created a new kind of swipe action UI, which is, for swipe left and right, you can have not just one but multiple actions, as you can see in the demo video. I want to make zeroing inbox really an enjoyable daily activity so that it's really achievable! For now this app is still in very early stage development, it could be buggy and only has few features: - Multi-action swipe (with fixed options) - Blazing fast loading speed (parallel loading) It only supports few major email providers for now, and for Gmail, you need to enable two factor authentication and generate an application password to be able to login. And it's free app at this moment, soon I will launch a paid version that comes with more advanced features like "Customizable swipe actions" or third party integrations (some may still go into free app, not sure yet), here's the rough product road map - Customizable swipe actions - In mail swipe action (a bit like Tinder, but with multi-action swipe) - Combined swipe actions (one swipe can do many things like Mark read + Archive + push to Todoist) - Third party action integrations (like Todoist or other apps) - Smart avatar (load sender's avatar from known email list or public avatar database) Although it's early stage, you can try the multi-action swipe UI out and imagine the how the multi-action swipe becomes the center experience of this app and empower your daily email use cases in the near future. Hopefully you will like it, and the more people feel this is helpful, the more I can justify my own time spending on this project, so please let me know what you think :)

@andrewjb44 thanks for the feedback! Actually I have in email swipe action in my product road map already. There will be a floating UI at the bottom allows you to swipe. It will feel like Tinder, but for you email. 😄

By the way, if anybody interested in how the UI was built, I use an interesting approach, I call it showcase driven development, I wrote an article before Boost Productivity with Showcase-driven Development for Mobile or Front-end App https://fangpenlin.com/posts/201...

Sorry for long waiting, today, I am glad to announce Zero Inbox 2.0 is here! 🎉🎊👏 For people never heard of Zero Inbox, it's an iPhone email app I build for zeroing inboxes. I created a new kind of swipe action UI, it allows you to choose different actions via single swipe. Such as: - Right-Up-Right - Push to Todoist - Right all the way - Archive - Right-Down-Right - Trash Same 3 options available for the right direction, please see the video to get a sense of how it works. We also introduced in-mail swipe actions. Combine these two, it's now like Tinder for your email, empowers you to get to inbox zero effortlessly. To summary up what's new in Zero Inbox 2.0: - New email provider UI - Add support for all major email providers - Gmail Oauth login (more other Oauth support coming) - In mail swipe - Todoist integration - Todo + archive in one swipe And of course, fixed countless bugs (email apps are really hard to build, so many corner cases 😅) Few other features are coming soon - Custom IMAP (first priority, yep, many of you are requesting it) - Reply - Forward - Smart avatar (display avatar based on the sender's email) And possibly a more powerful set of features will come with an in-app purchase subscription plan, not 100% sure yet, but could be - Custom swipe actions arrangement - One swipe multi-action (like read + forward + archive in one swipe) - More third-party action integrations - Support multiple email accounts - ... I personally use this app every single day, and enjoy it myself. Also keep improving it when I have time. Hopefully you also find this app helpful, and feel free to let me know what you think or if you have any suggestion, such as third party integration you want me to add, any feature you think would be helpful. I may not have time to build them all, but as long as there are enough of people requesting it and it makes sense, I will add that to product road map. It's a great chance to influence development of this app to make it more useful for yourself 😁 👍
