Signing up for email from Superhuman. I went from “always have a pile of unchecked email, very bad responsiveness, feeling of overwhelm” to “I look forward to checking my email and inbox zero everyday effortlessly”.

This was actually a major update in how building software to reduce frictions can cause qualitative changes to my productivity.
I could rave about superhuman for a long time, enough that this answer will just sound like an ad. But take it upon my karma and reputation as an LW user that it’s just my genuine opinion.
The website leaves me confused about what this … app? web app? … has that might generate the effect you describe. Could you say a bit more about what aspects of Superhuman were responsible for the improvements you mentioned?

(I, too, now have pretty effortless inbox zero, as opposed to my previous inbox ten thousand.)
Inbox was awesome and I used it from day 0 to day day −1. Adding a note to the reminder when you snooze was the most useful part.
