Emails the dumb way
With the coming SDK, we might be thinking about what we really do need on our dumbphone for it to replace our smartphone out and about, or at home even.
Where do we draw the line between what a dumbphone should be able to do and what not? Do I really need Teams, and if so, should it have the full functionality? The latter probably not, but the former?
So I was thinking with the example of emails, how a dumb mailclient should look like:
You open the tool, and there is the almost only text:
No important emails.
How refreshing, if I think about how many emails do spam me every. Day. But now I am assured, I got zero mails to really give a fuck about. But what if I do care? Then I can decide and click on the second sentence underneath:
Add keywords.
With keywords I only get what I really expect and want to read wherever I am. And when I do not expect nothing and want to give absolutely zero fucks again, I can click on the third sentence, the last UI element:
Remove all 3 keywords.
How refreshing, to commit to giving zero fucks. That's it!
