The creator of Inbox is ready to save Google from itself
If you've followed my ramblings for long, you know how I feel about Inbox — Google's short-lived experiment with reinventing the way we experience email.
Inbox, built atop Gmail's foundation, was a wildly different approach to managing messages. At its launch in 2014, the service was described as being "years in the making" — a "completely different type of inbox, designed to focus on what really matters." Google told us Inbox was "designed for the problems we're going to see in the next 10 years" and painted the app as being the future of not only Gmail but also of email itself.
