This is impressive but I’m surprised he thinks it’s possible to build a personal legacy from an email tool like this. Almost all web software is transient and will be forgotten in a few years. Certainly not the stuff of “legacy after I’m gone.” Even mega apps like Facebook or Instagram will likely be long forgotten before their founders die.
