When I previewed this launch video at the Avec office a few days ago it kinda fucked me up.
It's obvious that the old world is dead and we'll never be apart from technology ever again.
But Avec believes--unlike most products--that doesn't mean we have to be enslaved to it.
Avec and the team are a pretty amazing whitepill for progress: if you just think hard enough about a thing (e-mail) you can just make it astronomically better than what exists.
And I think their new launch captures that feeling.
You don't have to steel yourself to machete chop your way to inbox zero. It should be done matter-of-factly, with ease, so you can get back to life.
Eat your clementine as slowly as you like.

It took a lot of revision to get the mechanics right here but at least that gave us time to nail the bookmark swoosh animation
Today, we're introducing a way to Never Forget Anything.
We've all forgotten to follow up on an important email, or missed a deadline buried in one. With Avec, that won't happen to you anymore.
Just swipe left on any email that's important but that you don't have time to handle yet. Avec figures out when it's due and reminds you on the day, by bringing it back to the top of your inbox along with a concise notification.

it’s true
"Most B2B tools are atrocious."
@kayvz (co-founder of @macroscope) answers @lennysan's question about building B2B after a career in consumer products:
"My first company actually was a B2B company, selling software to universities."
"After that experience I was like, B2B SaaS, never again."
"Maybe next to government, it's the slowest possible sales cycle."
"I actually think there's tremendous alpha bringing consumer instincts to B2B tools.
They're so poorly designed.
They're so focused on being functional that they lack soul, they lack joy."
"They're just not built with love for end users in mind, because you're often selling to a person that's different than the end user."

Your time and attention are precious! Be the driver, not the passenger, when it comes to determining what you pay attention to.
"You are your consciousness, and that is actually changing the more you give yourself up as a passenger to the algorithm."
@nsharp17 left Meta in 2022 to build @retrodotapp, which has no ads, no public likes, and no For You feed.
"People oftentimes undervalue their own time."
"They lose a lot of it going down a rabbit hole for 40 minutes when they didn't expect to."
"But the things you pay attention to actually affect and influence your thoughts."
"So it's not just that you're losing time."
"You are your thoughts."
