I grew up on Windows but when I came to macOS I went hard into key commands; the UI is a lot more uniform so using a combination of key commands and Trackpad gestures you can fly through tasks pretty quickly.
On macOS I just type the first few letters of the file/folder and because it’s in alphabetical order, I find it immediately. I don’t want to have to think “oh is this a file or a folder” then scroll around to the appropriate area.
This reminds me of users who complain about <select> fields on websites: they always want some weird sorting instead of just tabbing into the field and typing a few letters.
What email clients (or web UI) do you use? And on what platform?
Mail on iOS, macOS
What is something you don't like from the client.
Searching is difficult because you have to keep fighting with it.
What is something you like from the client.
The UI, its ability to block remote content.
What is something you don't like from the email service.
I’m confused by this part, are you talking about the email client or email provider?
I use primarily Gandi, and I don’t like their pricing model.
What is something you like from the email.
I love their spam headers and Sieve filtering.
Is there a feature you would like your client implemented?
Not really, most my problems with email come from how it’s implemented on various servers (lack of encryption) and its support for HTML rather than something more sane, like Markdown.
Do you have any particular method or workflow of going through and extensive inbox?
Not really, I just quickly work through the emails.
I’ll say that as much as I love Apple and macOS, Finder has some pretty terrible defaults that make file management pretty difficult for the average user. The default “All Files” view is atrocious.
I should’ve mentioned the sauce is only sold by a restaurant who doesn’t package it with any sort of seal — it’s just thrown in a plastic bottle and sold that way.
Is doing this in Docker necessary? I like containerization too but a VPN server seems a little intense — why not install it directly?
