People need to stop treating the 'X for Y' analogy construct like it's the Uber for analogies.

'X for Y' analogies are older than technology... good luck...

What, any time someone wants an analogy they can simply summon one to their location with their mobile phone?

Looks great, but agree w the Tinder part not resonating. Isn't this more "Getting Things Done - by David Allen" for email? [1]

Surprisingly a Tinder analogy is failing to resonate on hackernews. Who would have thought

The post has been at number 1 for an hour. It's resonating and also generating hate.

So I’m meeting people over emil now? My emails can hook up with other emails? I don’t understand...

Meet other hot HTML5/CSS3 emails in your neighborhood!

On a serious note I was confused too. I guess it's the swiping left/right to read/answer that resembles Tinder

I assume he means the "swipe left or right" aspect of Tinder. That is, responding to an email is just a matter of taking one action.

That's really odd, because Tinder is not known for the "swipe left or right" aspects of their app, more for their reputation as a sex hook-up app.

My confused impression when I read the title was "A sex hook-up app that uses e-mail?"

Bwa ha ha ha ha. I guess the perception is different depending on where you're from. I immediately thought of the swipe left/right aspect - though I'm in a community that is more chaste than most though. For example, I know a couple who met through tinder without any sex before marriage. That's probably why I thought different - I just really haven't known enough people who use tinder like you described. Or used tinder at for that matter.

edit: minor spelling corrections.

To kids my age (lower 20s) swiping is absolutely linked with tinder.

To kids my age (~40) it's the only thing I know about it as the [UK] media regularly references "Tinder" and "swipe left" [dismiss?].

I tried to explain that you have to decide what to do with the currently viewed email (you can see only one) without skipping
