> We took a similar approach when launching Gmail... The secondary and tertiary features were minimal or absent. There was no "rich text" composer. The original address book was implemented in two days and did almost nothing

Even today, Gmail doesn't do a lot of things that Outlook does like rendering web fonts / inline calendaring, but I still vastly prefer Gmail (even with the new clunky UI) over any other client

Also shoutout to Paul for envisioning the iPad as a quarantine savior in 2010 haha
