Update: we're seeing huge demand, temporally we have to queue new users :( we'll notify you in the coming days, sorry for the issue, we want to provide a great experience ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ** Code for early access is: producthunt ** Gooooooood morning Hunters and thank you @nivo0o0 for hunting us! We started Hop 3 years ago with a vision of building a whole new email experience. I love the openness of email and its asynchronous nature. I love that everyone has it. I love that it simultaneously serves us on so many facets of life, ranging from work to interest to commerce. So if it’s such an amazing medium, why do we feel frustrated about it too often? Sign of times. After all, email is 45 years old and its protocol wasn’t really planned for the way we communicate today. Our inspiration was modern communication (which simulates a natural conversation flow), while keeping all the good things email has. We designed Hop to help you get things done, to prioritize stuff, to be responsive and respectful of everyone’s time, and most importantly: to be more expressive and effective in communicating. We have been working tediously to build an innovative layer over open email protocol with flawless synchronization to the different email service providers. It’s a seamless yet crucial layer of what enables us to provide you with what you’re about to experience. We are launching here with an exclusive code for you, our Product Hunt friends. Download the app and use the code “producthunt” to sign up! Here's a shortlist of Hop superpowers: —Conversation view: for easy reading and encouraging brevity —Important messages vs. everything else: we sort for you. What you see is what’s important —Groups: open, effortless communication —Actions en masse: one tap to clean up inboxes faster than ever —Swipe like a boss: gestures let you shortcut like a ninja —Visual U/I for attachments: find files visually —Arsenal of expression: doodles, gifs, videos, and voice recordings to comment with more expression than email has ever had —All seeing-All Knowing Calendar: one view aggregates all events from Google Cal, Apple cal, and Facebook

@pilosof @nivo0o0 @chrismessina @guygamzu How do you secure the emails on your server? How is this diffrent from Mailtime?! Or any other email in realtime "messenger" format? I'd like to know the answer to this pretty important question myself! This is my fear: "FriendFinder messed up in a few ways. For one, the company either stored user passwords in plaintext, without any protection, or hashed them using the notoriously weak SHA1 algorithm, according to LeakedSource."

@pilosof is custom IMAP support on the roadmap?

@bentossell hi! What the messaging format ends up doing is encouraging brevity. Emails can be long-winded, but the messaging format encourages people to get to the point faster. Plus, its much nicer on the eyes than traditional nested chains. BTW, Tapping on the bubble loads the original 'traditional' msg.

Just downloaded it and played a bit with some test emails. Here are my comments: 1. the onboarding is absolutely mind-blowing! 2. do you store my emails on your servers? 3. smart virality idea with putting a referer link under each email. It seems to also contain the was-email-opened pixel. But still, can I turn it off for some more serious email conversations? :D 4. everything worked 100% out-of-the box. Great! 5. I think you are onto something huge! Very well done, I am already a believer!

Ok so I'm super excited about Hop, which I've been testing for the past few weeks. 1. The sign up process is brilliant. Code for early access is: producthunt 2. It makes your inbox feel just like Messenger. You get through your inbox much faster because it feels less formal, and when you're talking with other Hop users there's even the "typing..." signal. It's just like Messenger. 3. Personal Fav: There's a GIF button that, whatever you search for, it auto-overlays the search term on top of the first option 😊😊😊 which makes your GIF responses (effortlessly) seem very personal 😜

I'm really enjoying Hop, its features can make it as the killer application for _fast_ email conversations. Anyway I have a remark about the fact that the app shows old emails in the "inbox conversation" window, even if they're archived in Gmail (I'm an 'inbox zero' addicted). Is there a way to prevent them to show up in Hop?

@pietro_blu_giandonato yes. pls select the entire thread list (by multi select - long press on the profile of convos or simply the √ mark of yesterday, last month etc) and tap the archive at the bottom

@guygamzu I already do this, but the app shows every time older and older emails, month after month. For me this is really annoying. I definitely prefer a clean inbox, without old emails that moreover have already been archived. Can I suggest the implementation of a setting to enable/disable this function?

@pietro_blu_giandonato note taken. please make sure your settings are 'Inbox' and 'Archive on Send' is turned on (under settings / advanced)

Great looking stuff, bummed that I can't try it out just yet, I had a couple questions: - Do you plan on releasing a desktop app (or even web client)? I always like to have the same interface and organization for my email across devices. - Does your product handle HTML in emails?
