Today is my 38th birthday and I decided earlier this week to start a new campaign on my life I call "Just fucking do it." The meaning of this campaign dates back to 2000 when I was moving from my old town of Seneca Wisconsin to Viroqua Wisconsin and starting my sophomore year of high school.

But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself.
