I got an early demo of Shortwave by @startupandrew a ~year ago. They clearly put a ton of attention on the details and nuances of email workflows. I'm curious, what's been the biggest surprise so far, Andrew?

I use Shortwave and I love it. I'm super persnickety about email clients — I feel like I've tried all of them! — and Shortwave just works for me. I've never moved through my email quicker and with more confidence.

Hey PH 👋 - I’m Andrew, co-founder of Shortwave. I'm super excited to share Shortwave’s launch with you all today. Shortwave is a brand new experience for your Gmail account that helps you email smarter and faster, so you can not only be more productive, but actually enjoy your inbox. Our journey started two years ago. In 2020, a team of ex-Firebasers/Googlers and I started building Shortwave from scratch. Over the last two years, we’ve talked to hundreds of users about their email habits and have been working hard to make email live up to its full potential. Shortwave's inbox has a workflow that actually works: 📌 Pin urgent emails to the top of your inbox in one click ⏰ Snooze emails that you need to act on later ✅ Mark everything else done with a single click 👋 Drag and drop threads to re-order and group them Our secret weapon is called "bundles". They automatically group related emails and let you act on them all at once. Old calendar notifications? Gone. Asana updates? Bam. Newsletters? Oh wait, you *do* want those: snooze the whole bundle until your flight with one tap. Shortwave is more than just a new inbox: 🪞 Bring clarity to complex threads - with a compact, chat-like thread UI ✨ Write beautiful emails - with markdown formatting, mentions, Giphy, rich media, quoting, object forwards, and more. 🤝 Work together with your team - and collaborate in realtime with channels 🧠 Email smarter, not just faster - with intuitive shortcuts and an inbox that keeps you organized by default. 🧑‍🎨 Beautiful & consistent display - We wrote a custom headless browser engine to ensure your emails aren’t a jumbled mess of HTML & inline CSS 👯 Team features - Like Slack, but with the whole world via email. Channels, mentions, typing indicators, presence, and more. Free plan, premium experience! We believe *everyone* should have access to a high-quality, convenient, and delightful way to communicate — that's why Shortwave has a generous free plan for individuals and small teams. We also are providing a promo code for the Product Hunt community that gives you 3 months free on our paid plans: PHLAUNCH We had a lot of fun building Shortwave, and we hope you enjoy your new inbox! To get started with Shortwave, all you have to do is sign in with your Gmail account (no credit card required) or check out our quickstart guide (https://www.shortwave.com/docs/g...) to learn more. From the bottom of my heart, thank you so much for your support ❤️ @_seltenreich and I will be here all day to read your notes and answer questions, so ask away!

I've really enjoyed beta testing Shortwave, it's now my regular email client!

Can’t wait to try this! Thanks team Shortwave!

Congratulations!!!! 🥳😁🎉

I've been using it for along time and I love it. Excited to get scheduled bundles and the trash action :D

Congrats on the launch!

Shortwave is the future of email. I started using it during alpha, and I am continually impressed at how well it works, and how they are removing friction from the email experience. Excited to be on board for the future!

Awesome launch! Is there a way to add multiple gmail accounts?

I spent a long time looking for an alternative to Google Inbox and Shortwave solved most of the problems I had with Gmail! I highly recommend!!!

Looks like a tool I'd really love to use! I was looking for something related to security and couldn't find it easily enough (only after I dug in your Help Center). For acquiring faster techies like me, I'd suggest surfacing this information up. Looking forward to using it!

Looks pretty cool! Do you plan to add team conversations and shared emails, like Missive app or Front?

Anyone who loved Google Inbox should love this but may miss some features that have been excluded on launch: 1. No add tasks feature 2. No recurring reminders feature Hopefully they add these soon!

Doesn't work for me. Trying to log in with Gmail and the authentication things just goes round and round and round and .... On Brave browser

I have also tried it on my chromebook on chrome browser and getting the same issue.

I have got this to work now. Looks a promising start. How do I permanently delete emails? also I don't see the labels listed anywhere

Oh yes forgot to add I'd like to see unified inboxes. I have two email accounts and it wastes time switching from one to the other - I'd like to have the unified inbox approach. Excellent implementation of the snooze function - like that lots

I miss Google Inbox too!

I've tried countless email clients ever since Google shut down Inbox. I discovered Shortwave a few months ago and it checks all the boxes for me. It's the only client that logically groups my emails and allows me to read them inline and easily stay at Inbox Zero. Congrats on the launch team! Can't wait to see what you do with it
