Show notes
Today, on the show we have Christine Spang, Co-founder and CTO of Nylas. Christine was the keynote at the recent Shift Developer Conference in Miami, and we caught up with her there. Nylas is a unified API for email, calendar, and contacts. We talked to Christine about why she started Nylas, and the challenges with building an API for email.
Email is this massive distributed system with a very diverse set of implementations, it's a super gnarly ecosystem going back decades. It's generally not something you want to spend a lot of time on if you don't have to. Christine was a lot of fun to have on the show.
