Overview

Loopmail reimagines email as a stream of conversations. It batches low-priority mail, collapses noisy threads, and gives you a single keyboard-driven surface to triage everything in one pass.

Impact

  • Reduced average triage time by ~35% in a 20-person beta.
  • Handled 1M+ synced messages without a full re-index.
  • Reached a fully keyboard-navigable inbox with zero mouse required.

What I learned

  • Building an offline-first sync layer with optimistic updates.
  • Virtualising very long thread lists without dropping frames.
  • Balancing real-time delivery against battery and bandwidth.
