How it actually happened

ENTRY 01 · 15 Jan 2026

The Inbox Button Gmail Forgot

A small Chrome extension for sorting and grouping Gmail views in place.

Sift for Gmail popup showing sort-by-sender controls and an active status message
The real popup — sort field, direction cycle, group toggle, and a status line that tells you it actually did something.
The verdict

The product idea is not glamorous. That is half the appeal.
