I have been a longtime user of Superhuman but since they increased the price and now have been acquired by Grammarly (see discussion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44433994) I want to find an alternative.

It doesn't need to have all the "AI" that Superhuman has but keyboard shortcuts and hotkeys are a must. Must also have a mobile app

I've tried Spark, Shortwave, Apple Mail, Gmail, Thunderbird and none of them really compare.

I wanted to build something similar that works nicely across different devices (mac/linux) that is fast and supports keyboard-first navigation as I'm also struggling with a similar problem.

When surveying potential users I discovered that most are happy with the web gmail interface and don't really care. It sounds like a very niche requirement and it'll be very challenging to find enough customers (1k+) who would care about using a very nice email client.
