All projects: Gel, Jobs, Gootodo, Games, Uncle Mark, Goovite, Blog, Bit Literacy

Two essential features for a bit-literate email program:

1. Measuring the lowest inbox count at any point during each 24-hour calendar day.

2. Measuring the average amount of time any email spends in the inbox (before being deleted, archived/filed, or forwarded onto a todo list and then deleted).

These would show up as graphs stretching back days, weeks, months. The goal for #1 would be to see an (absolute) zero measurement every day; goal for #2 would be to stay relatively low (whatever the standard of that particular user is - everyone will vary since people get different volumes of email).
