We do have a Linux version available. Please send an email to [email protected] and we will send you the download link from Github. Thanks for the interest!
Great question, thanks. We approached the collaboration problem from a different angle than Slack. We believe email will never go away - and there can't be an app that will completely kill it. But there could be an app that can change it.
What email is missing now is what people love in collaboration apps like Slack or Trello. Real-time chat. The option of having team discussions. Being able to control who you want to be disturbed by and who needs to be muted...all this stuff is missing on email currently and we've built an app that allows you to do all that within your inbox.
Rather than building a new app for the collaboration problem, we've changed the experience where the problem started initially - on email. Loop is an attempt to help employees work efficiently on email with their colleagues.
