LT: E-mail is broken!
summary
Argues that email is fundamentally broken: inboxes are noisy, now 95% machine-written, and act as a hated universal to‑do list that still holds necessary actions. Proposes a concrete replacement: a programmable customizable fast client built with Elixir, inspired by Obsidian+Neovim for email. Claims the solution must handle app‑generated messages, spam regulation, and surfacing the few actionable items; requests real inbox examples to validate whether the prototype actually reduces anxiety and clutter.
