Can anyone say why Apple abandoned the development of its mail at all? Seriously, this is simply the worst email app in every way. At the same time, a huge number of people use it, and Apple is famous for its interfaces. What's happening? 🤔

One of the most significant lessons from this year is that working hard is not enough, you must work smart. Users love products that don't have a massive number of features but are the most user-friendly, even if they only have one feature.
