As a Superhuman user, my first reaction to this news was, “uh oh”.

What makes Superhuman so valuable to me as a user is the company’s obsession with email optimization. If they just become another cog in the wheel of Grammarly, I’m not sure they’ll keep that up.

However, since then, I’ve been reading the press release and even the email from Superhuman’s founder, Rahul Vohra. It appears that this acquisition was made to accelerate Superhuman’s feature list, rather than impede it. I’ve got my fingers crossed that this turns out to be a good thing for users.
