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.
