Gmail Team Develops A New Feature Based on Noam Design’s Concept

GmailAbout 5 months ago, we published a blog post containing the details of one of our innovative concepts. In the post, we took Gmail as a great example of a widely used rich internet application that could benefit from the concept.

Recently, the Gmail team implemented the idea we published almost literally with a new lab: inbox preview. The only 2 things missing are:

  1. Keep the preview open in an overlay lightbox even after the entire Gmail interface has loaded (and add a close button)
  2. Add the ability to click on a message in the inbox preview that would lead to the message (right now the inbox preview is static)

    This is a great feature but it would be much more useful for anyone using multiple inboxes (including me) if it showed multiple inboxes rather than only the single main inbox. I’d say that’s definitely another thing missing, in additional to the couple you mentioned. If you have any influence with the Gmail team, It’d be great if you could put the idea out there. Thank you for your innovative ideas.
