Can't wait for them to get acquihired out of existence just like every other email startup.

[founder here] I also founded Firebase and sold it to Google. I don’t plan to do that again.

I believe you... I just don't know if (fastfoward mayop100 (years 5)) will necessarily agree with you.

So many founders have said the same, and ended up selling saying "you can't hold us to what we said X years ago, circumstances are different now".

But good luck. I hope like Fastmail you can build a profitable business that can last decades.

Genuinely curious why not?

I find it funny how the article equates bulk archiving emails with productivity.

Reducing clicks helps!

It's better to not get the email in the first place, but scanning the subject lines is a good idea in some organizations/roles/events.
