So I talked to more than 50 people about how they organize their emails, expecting they are using the default options provided by gmail like labels and manual categorization.

99% don't use any categorization or labelling, they just use default and waste their time in finding important mails. Figuring out how we can solve this issue.

I found OrganizeEmail on playstore by Sayne Design, but that also have some loopholes, Superahuman is another. Can anyone suggest if there is some alternative or I can use any of these.

Hey All,

I recently went through CASA (Tier2) to get restricted Gmail API access for my app, and it was honestly more intense than I expected.

If you're using scopes like gmail.modify or gmail.readonly, be prepared — it’s not just a checkbox approval.

Main challenges I hit:

• Way more documentation than expected (data flow, storage, encryption, deletion policies)
• Had to rethink security basics (token storage, logging, least-privilege access)
• Back-and-forth with assessors took time

What helped me get through:

• Minimizing scopes and clearly justifying them
• Avoiding storing sensitive email data wherever possible
• Having a clean, explainable architecture (client → backend → Google)

Was it worth it?
Yeah. It forces you to build a more secure, trustworthy product — especially important for anything touching user emails.

If you're planning to use Gmail APIs seriously, don’t treat CASA as a last step. Design for it early.

Happy to share more if anyone’s going through it.

Hey everyone,

I’m an Android developer with ~4 years of experience, currently working on a product in the email productivity space.

I’ve built and shipped an app that helps users organize their inbox — things like smart labeling, bulk cleaning, and improving overall email productivity. The app is already live, and I’ve been handling everything solo so far: development, feature design, performance improvements, and stability.

Recently, I’ve also started exploring AI integrations to make the experience smarter (auto-categorization, better prioritization, etc.), and I feel there’s a lot more potential here than what I can execute alone.

That’s why I’m looking for a advisor or collaborator who can help evolve this into something bigger.

What I’m looking for:

• Someone interested in product thinking, growth, or AI
• Could be from tech / marketing / product background
• Ideally someone who enjoys early-stage building and experimentation

What I bring:

• Strong Android development (Jetpack Compose, performance, stability, scaling)
• Experience shipping features end-to-end
• Already have a working product to build on

I’m not looking for anything overly formal right away — more like finding the right person to brainstorm, iterate, and see where this can go.

If this sounds interesting, drop a comment or DM me — I’ll share the app and we can take it from there.

Thanks!
