I think these suggestions make some sense since they are still problems that exist. The way you'd imagine solving them could be different if you were on that team, with the data and would iterate to find the solution. The bullet points under the innovation section are not suggestions for solutions, on the contrary, they are problems that users still have. For each of these problems, there are services that are trying to solve that problem. Take scheduling a meeting as an example. Google's solution was to bring the calendar into Gmail and increase complexity. X.AI's solution is to make a bot that coordinates. Some other companies will have different solutions. The point is, what is the best solution for a user who is in the frame of mind of emailing. It is very easy to stuff things from different places one on top of another and it's called sustained innovation (if I'm not mistaken). But what ideally should happen is finding new ways to adapt these extra services, including these problems in a way that is matched with the main use case. Otherwise, it gets complex.

True that. But I hope that's not your only take away from the article :) Still they updated everything else - so I guess they didn't cringe at that. Apple breaking UI standards, yap, they always do, gotta write on that too.

I think we are the same ;) and I would apply that to any other service that has a feed (Insta, Facebook etc). But for the people who have a red dot with the number 999999 on their iPhone, there must be something Google should do.

I think it's more about having guidelines for how things should behave and having a visual framework. It is true that many try to copy it and interpret it wrongly, which creates hideous sites. However, I think Google's purpose here was to create an extension of typography rules, grids and layouts rather than having everyone look the same. Some companies managed to use material design quite successfully and still reflect their brands (and not look 'the same').

Back in the days (probably 2014), Gmail had a method to show Important emails which kinda worked. But I think my intention in this recommendation was about reducing the notifications people get for every email and helping you understand what urgent (since the AI reads your emails anyway). But I understand it could escalate wrongly very quickly

thank you!

Hmmm, I love Feedly, never tried the pro features. So you are essentially saying that I can filter for just statistic related acronyms?
