@pilosof @_jacksmith @gethop Problem seems to be with Gsuite Vs Gmail accounts. It was easy to add my gmail account, but when I tried a Gsuite account I was asked for permissions, then the app stalled at 'add your email account' screen.
@benjamineevans @_jacksmith
sorry for the issues, it's currently random, we have some busy servers today ....
working on fixing that :)
Update:
we're seeing huge demand, temporally we have to queue new users :(
we'll notify you in the coming days, sorry for the issue, we want to provide a great experience

Gooooooood morning Hunters and thank you @nivo0o0 for hunting us!
We started Hop 3 years ago with a vision of building a whole new email experience.
I love the openness of email and its asynchronous nature. I love that everyone has it. I love that it simultaneously serves us on so many facets of life, ranging from work to interest to commerce.
So if it’s such an amazing medium, why do we feel frustrated about it too often?
Sign of times. After all, email is 45 years old and its protocol wasn’t really planned for the way we communicate today.
Our inspiration was modern communication (which simulates a natural conversation flow), while keeping all the good things email has. We designed Hop to help you get things done, to prioritize stuff, to be responsive and respectful of everyone’s time, and most importantly: to be more expressive and effective in communicating.
We have been working tediously to build an innovative layer over open email protocol with flawless synchronization to the different email service providers.
It’s a seamless yet crucial layer of what enables us to provide you with what you’re about to experience.
We are launching here with an exclusive code for you, our Product Hunt friends. Download the app and use the code “producthunt” to sign up!
Here's a shortlist of Hop superpowers:
—Conversation view: for easy reading and encouraging brevity
—Important messages vs. everything else: we sort for you. What you see is what’s important
—Groups: open, effortless communication
—Actions en masse: one tap to clean up inboxes faster than ever
—Swipe like a boss: gestures let you shortcut like a ninja
—Visual U/I for attachments: find files visually
—Arsenal of expression: doodles, gifs, videos, and voice recordings to comment with more expression than email has ever had
—All seeing-All Knowing Calendar: one view aggregates all events from Google Cal, Apple cal, and Facebook
@pilosof Nice job. looks awesome and I'll be giving it a go
I am, however, in two minds whether this format is a good thing or not.... I wonder if emails should feel more like messaging or whether they shouldn't.
It totally makes sense in one side of it for sure....theres just something in my brain making me think about it ha.
@pilosof @nivo0o0 @chrismessina @guygamzu
How do you secure the emails on your server?
How is this diffrent from Mailtime?! Or any other email in realtime "messenger" format?
I'd like to know the answer to this pretty important question myself!
This is my fear:
"FriendFinder messed up in a few ways. For one, the company either stored user passwords in plaintext, without any protection, or hashed them using the notoriously weak SHA1 algorithm, according to LeakedSource."
@bentossell hi! What the messaging format ends up doing is encouraging brevity. Emails can be long-winded, but the messaging format encourages people to get to the point faster. Plus, its much nicer on the eyes than traditional nested chains. BTW, Tapping on the bubble loads the original 'traditional' msg.
Thank you everyone for the warm welcoming and support.
It has been so overwhelming that we had to readjust for the overload and some of you couldn't get in 😱
This sucks! So anyone wishing to get in right now, simply send an email to chat@gethop.com
After you get our reply simply use the email you used to contact us at support and you'll be in.
Granted.
I assume your immediate competition will be Redkix when they release to a wider audience?
I've started using Hop a few weeks back, it's crazy fun and super efficient! Congrats Erez & team you guys are doing an outstanding job. I know you can be the change email needs!
Hey guys! Great product - looking forward to trying it out! Haven't had a great email app since Sparrow got acquired by Google :-)
Curious to know how you guys are powering email search today - can you tell me more about the tech stack there?
@horiacernusca receiver gets a regular email msg. in fact, if you tap on the 'bubble' you can see the entire thread in the 'traditional' view
Ok so I'm super excited about Hop, which I've been testing for the past few weeks.
1. The sign up process is brilliant. Code for early access is: producthunt
2. It makes your inbox feel just like Messenger. You get through your inbox much faster because it feels less formal, and when you're talking with other Hop users there's even the "typing..." signal. It's just like Messenger.
3. Personal Fav: There's a GIF button that, whatever you search for, it auto-overlays the search term on top of the first option 😊😊😊 which makes your GIF responses (effortlessly) seem very personal 😜
