Anyone knows of a email client app that:

- has iOS, iPadOS, macOS clients

- supports a “unified inbox” across multiple Google accounts

- supports GMail labels?

- and has swipe gestures to archive, snooze, etc?

Using Spark now, but they don’t support labels on iOS. 😓

Love the small design touches in Claude v2

You can search and chat from the same input

You can use Markdown shortcuts to input rich text, like # Headings and `code` and - lists

It works well on mobile as a webapp. Just add to homescreen

Oh, and the neat animated “AI” logo

@fission But if it stays on the user’s device, if something happens to it, it’s… gone. That’s also a central point of failure, no?
@fox And code for “you still need to mingle with your coworkers in person, just socially now, instead of for work”, which makes it impossible for you to truly architect a life around remote work if you care about family or health.

@grishka @ebiester You can use it this way to clean up your feed as a reader of tweets. I use lists and notifications.

But as a writer of tweets, the algorithm’s rules will still affect you, since “For You” is most people’s default view. It limits your reach and opportunity for dialogue with your followers.

Takeaways from the Twitter algorithm rules

Do not:
- Be a curious person. You cannot follow more than you are followed.
- Have diverse interests. You cannot post “out of network” content
- Hold simultaneous conflicting beliefs and be contrarian once in a while. You shouldn’t have people unfollow you.
- Cite your sources if they’re from the open web. You shouldn’t post links, they’re frowned upon.

Doing any of those things will mean you’re a pariah on Twitter. What a weird place!

@absamma There is no lock-in with the completions model though, since it’s stateless. But with the embeddings model, that’s another question altogether.
@fox Yeah… I think most people end up just putting comments on the canvas itself.
@fox Yes this exactly! This sidebar with emoji and section dividers is how most people hack it. I still don’t know why they haven’t shipped a better sidebar with hierarchy & tags.

@fox Which missing features are you hacking around?

The one I’ve seen people do is they create empty pages to fake “sections”, and badges to signal the draft/published status of a design to get around broken versioning.
