Astro - AI meets email for Mac, iOS and Android

@jacobbendicksen Yes, that's high on our roadmap!

@viral_kadakia Thanks for being one of our early users. Integrations are on the way...more on that soon!

@shmuel This isn't the normal experience, we're experiencing server overload right now. Normally, you get right in. We're sorry to have mislead you and we're working on resolving the issue so you can add accounts!

@emilykramer Thanks for the reply Emily. I understand. I just wanted to communicate that the current flow undermined a bit of my trust (which is a critical thing when dealign with email). I think it's a solvable issue either by altering the signup flow or, as you say, the harder but more permanent way: fixing the underlying performance issues.

@shmuel Working on both. Thanks for the feedback.

@shmuel Also not a fan of this, but I think a quick fix would be to queue and show where someone would be as if you were waiting in line to talk to an agent (since that's the model you are going for).

@tarungangwani @shmuel Tarun, yes we did what we could due to the high demand. Definitely a learning experience, and we hope people will give us a try when we open back up the waitlist.

@emilykramer would love to give it a shot! :)

give tryscribe.com a shot. Its free to start off with

@gschaadt likewise I've really enjoyed using Astro, now I'm going to give these services a try https://mail.edison.tech/ https://gethop.com http://www.typeapp.com/

Try Consider! We just launched today--https://www.producthunt.com/post...

7 months later and I'm still looking for a good alternative. Have you had any luck with anything?

@keirwilliams We think Notion is doing some exciting stuff, and we're both focused on bringing intelligence to Inbox. But, we're taking different approaches. -We're focused on conversational AI, we think our chatbot is the best way to remind you about important messages and questions, prompt you about emails to unsubscribe from, archive, and move; and help you with basic productivity tasks. -Astro is available on Mac and iOS, so right now you can use Astro across devices. Notion is currently only available on mobile. -We think you’ll find our Priority Inbox experience, as well as Inbox Zap, to be more helpful in keeping your inbox clean long-term -We also offer modern email features. We have scheduled delivery/send later, one-click unsubscribe, and mute, which aren't currently available in Notion (to my knowledge). -Notion does currently has an Alexa skill, ours is coming soon. Generally though, we're excited to see how AI can solve info overload, and are excited to continue to see what Notion does.

@om Thanks, let us know what you think!

@om missed out on downloading it in time. Oh well

@emilykramer I guess I missed the window to download it - sigh

@barisergin Working on it and also hiring a dedicated Windows engineer! We want to bring Astro to all platforms, Android is up next, but Windows is also a priority. We know the mail app options on Windows are very limited and that's a gap we hope to fill.

@maxvoltar Thanks Tim! "Spiritual Successor of Mailbox" just might have to be our new tagline.

@joshkerr We're experiencing really high demand (thanks Product Hunt!) and are throttling new accounts. We'll let you know as soon as we are able to add more accounts. Sorry about that!

@emilykramer seems like a missed opportunity. Do you lack the funds to auto-scale your infrastructure? Or is it a lack the technical know how?
