Creating drafts via email
One of our most-requested features is the ability to send an email and have it transform into a draft.
Note
This blog post is from 2017. Contents (and screenshots) may be a bit of out date, but we've kept it up out of posterity.That's now a thing!
You can go to your drafts page to find your personal email address: send something there and the subject + body of the email are automatically converted into the draft. This can be super handy if you want to jot down some thoughts on the go!
