    To this day, the trip bundles feature of Google Inbox remains one of my all time favorite tech feature. It was such a breeze to plan out long trips with multiple flights and lodgings. It bundles all of it automatically when I get the confirmation emails! The UI was minimalistic and it fit in an era when phones displays were still relatively small.

    Unfortunately, by the looks of the Shortwave app, it seems to cater toward business use of email and not personal use, which I thought was the real magic behind Google Inbox. The personal (non work) internet was good while it lasted.

      This was the major upside to Inbox, you could create tasks that fit in line with your emails and you had the ability to archive or complete an email or task, truly amazing at the time. You could schedule, set reminders, and more just as you would in a To Do list for every email. Tasks and emails were one of the same. Sad day when they retired it, There were a few services that tried to recreate the experience, none of them well.
