Did Apple let the Newton trademark lapse? I clicked on this totally expecting it to be some before-its-time innovation from 1993.

Delta Chat, which is free and open source (available in Android’s F-Droid repos) does conversational email better than anyone.

Most of my emails are responded to because I don’t send a wall of text and the subject line is automatically formatted on their end to contain the beginning of your first sentence.

I’ve completely done away with “Dear,” and “Kindly, Tao” because obviously the email is from me and dear is an artifact. Everyone I write to this way responds in kind. I like to think I’m training them out of bad email habits.

I’ve reduced all my chat apps down to just Delta Chat for acquaintances and Telegram for inner circle who I feel comfortable asking to install yet another app for (this is also a great litmus test to find out who your true friends are by the way).

I keep an informal address to a lot of my emails because they are CCd and forwarded constantly so it isn't easy to tell at a glance to whom I'm sending them. Usually something simple like "Hi John!"
