Monster Bash

This release focuses exclusively on bug fixes and small improvements. While many similar fixes usually go unmentioned, we've compiled a comprehensive list of updates in the “Changelog” section below.

We also want to highlight the changes made to the View Options menu here, as they represent a significant redesign of the grouping feature. We've entirely removed the "Grouping Style" sub-menu along with the option to group by specific time periods. Now, all grouping options are consolidated under a single sub-menu, allowing users to group their conversations with a minimal or traditional UI style, or not at all. Simpler is always better, and this is much simpler.

Block Sender

In addition to the unsubscribe functionality we introduced recently, you can now block senders in Tatem. Blocking prevents future emails from that sender from reaching your inbox, giving you more control over your email experience. It's quick and seamless— just like unsubscribing. One action is all it takes, we handle everything behind the scenes.

You can block a sender by selecting "Block Sender" in the command menu, opening the right click menu, or using the more options menu. To manage blocked senders, search "Block Sender" in the command menu and select the settings sub-page, or visit the settings page directly.

Unsubscribe

It’s been a long time coming, but full unsubscribe functionality is now available in Tatem. You can easily unsubscribe from any sender by pressing Command U, clicking the unsubscribe button, selecting "Unsubscribe" from the command menu, opening the right click menu, or accessing the more options menu.

You can choose to simply unsubscribe, unsubscribe and archive all existing conversations from that sender, or unsubscribe and delete them entirely. No matter which option you pick, the process is quick and seamless—we handle everything behind the scenes. One action, and you're done. It’s that simple.

Small Details

At Tatem, we believe the small details make all the difference. Week in week out, our primary goal is to simply make the experience smoother and better than it was last week. While the below updates may seem like minor tweaks or improvements on their own, together they work to refine the overall user experience.

We fixed a bug where the top of conversations was getting cut off on narrow viewports. Caps lock no longer impacts keyboard shortcuts. We've unified hover states across the application, so there's now a single, consistent focus state for both mouse and keyboard input. Subjects stay constant without "RE:" being added after each reply, and we also now show who the message is addressed to at the top if there are multiple recipients or it was sent to an alias. You can copy all senders, recipients, and the date with a single click of the row headers in the message details drawer. We've added depth to the sidebars on mobile and tablet viewports, only one sidebar can be open at a time on smaller viewports, and the sidebars automatically shut when the viewport gets too small. Lastly, the right sidebar now dynamically updates to show the relevant sender of the focused message, or recipient if viewing draft or sent messages.

Improved Conversation Experience

We've refined how you interact with conversations. Now, when you press R or F from list view to draft a reply or forward a message, you'll instantly land at the precise scroll position of your draft. The same seamless experience applies when using R, F, or Enter within a conversation. Further, when you open a conversation, you'll now either land at the last message in the thread or the first message with a draft. Finally, pressing and within conversations now works as expected, providing smooth navigation.

We also took the time to fix two small, related bugs. Drag and drop functionality now integrates smoothly with drafts, and we've resolved the flashing text issue when adding contacts to the To, CC, or BCC fields.

Improved State Management

We've rearchitected how we handle state management within our application. In our constant quest to increase performance, we've migrated to MobX. This change reduces unnecessary re-renders, standardizes our codebase, and minimizes the introduction of new bugs. While this release focuses on a behind-the-scenes improvement, you'll experience the results as we continue to enhance our infrastructure to provide best-in-class speed, responsiveness, and reliability.

Recipient Drag and Drop

In the compose editor, you can now drag and drop recipient chips when composing a message or drafting a reply. To move a recipient to CC or BCC, simply click, drag, and drop. Simplicity at its best. This feature has been sorely missing, so while small, it's a significant quality of life improvement.

Improved Email Compatibility

Your email has never looked this good! We've supercharged our email rendering engine, ensuring more of your conversations display beautifully in their native format. From newsletters to personal notes to complex HTML, expect crisp layouts and intact designs right in your inbox. Plus, we're thrilled to be the first email client (ever) to responsively render your emails across viewports. Go ahead, check your inbox. We think you'll like what you see.

Redesigned Website

The first thing we built when we started Tatem was our website, not our product. We loved the original design (and so did many of you) but we felt that it was time for an update. So, we took a quick break from infrastructure and performance improvements (we'll share more on this in a future release) to ship a huge update to the website.

While we did take a couple of liberties on the website, we now essentially maintain a single design system across both the website and product. This will help us ship releases even faster in the future. We hope you like it!

Onboarding

The "first mile of product" is critical to introducing customers to a new product. Our aim is for these first steps to be magical for Tatem users. To this end, we've developed an end-to-end onboarding flow which helps new users setup their workspace, discover core features, and explore the command menu. We designed the new onboarding experience with interactivity in mind. We want new users to explore the product on their own in a hands-on sort of way, while also subtly learning the value that Tatem provides.

While we will require all new users to participate in onboarding calls as we continue learning more about our customers, this is the first step (of many) towards a self-serve approach. For now, we will walk users through the new onboarding flow and provide a brief tutorial during onboarding calls.

Updated View Options Menu

The View Options menu has received a fresh coat of paint. In addition to a full, simplified redesign of the entire menu, we've added an entirely new customization option: minimal grouping dividers. This new option replaces the in-line dividers with a single dynamic divider in the navigation bar. Additionally, we've made the entire menu entirely keyboard navigable.

Updated Compose Editor

Drafting, editing, and sending messages have been in need of a redesign for quite some time, so we rebuilt the compose editor from the ground up. In addition to redesigning the editor experience, we also added the option to open the compose editor as a full-screen page. This new option removes distractions and increases focus, perfect for drafting longer messages or creating multiple drafts.

Keyboard shortcuts have also been added throughout the entire editor experience. You can expand / minimize the compose editor by pressing Control Shift F, show / hide the "CC BCC" rows by pressing Command Shift B, and toggle through the input sections of the compose modal using using Tab and Shift Tab making it even faster to draft and send messages.
