Kube email Making Connections

Summary

Kube is a work in progress with an interesting idea. Most email clients were first developed 20 years ago, and their user interfaces haven't changed much. Kube's design reflects the modern standards it represents. Beyond just being nice to look at (often an overrated quality in revamped software), Kube incorporates important usability advances of recent years. We can all hope for improved functionality and more rapid development. The roadmap is promising. When the "soon" and "later" features become "now," this could be an app I could live in, whether email dies or not!
