The Problem: Email Overload & Reader Fatigue
Most professional emails force an impossible choice:
- Keep the email brief, and risk leaving out critical context, explanations, and nuance.
- Include all the details, and create an overwhelming wall of text where key takeaways get lost.
The result is reader fatigue, missed decisions, and tension. Email hasn't changed its basic format in decades, even as the volume and complexity of information we share have exploded.
The Purpose of More/Less
More/Less re-architects how information travels in an email. Instead of dumping everything into a single vertical scroll, it introduces progressive and intentional disclosure, a well-established principle of information design brought directly into your email composer.
It allows the sender to communicate with clarity and kindness: having the recipient getting the essential message in five seconds, with the option to explore deeper context, background data, and technical specifications only if and when they need them.
How It Works: Dynamic Architecture and Graphic Design Principles
- Concise Lead Message: The primary takeaways and action items stay front and center, uninterrupted by background noise.
- Hierarchical Sections ("Discover More"): Complex explanations, rationale, definitions, and side discussions live in dedicated, structured blocks alongside the message.
- Dedicated Appendix (for rabbit hole details) & Attachments: Cleanly catalog referenced files, labels, notes, and links below the signature, keeping the primary communication clean.
Adaptable Architecture
Responding to fast technological and societal changes, the message architecture is organized to adapt to both restrictive and flexible email clients.
- Client-Resilient Layout: Designed with a dual-path layout that renders as clean interactive accordions where supported, and gracefully adapts to a structured, legible two-column format in legacy clients (such as desktop Outlook) that block interactive scripts.
Privacy & Simplicity (Local-First)
More/Less is a purely local composition tool:
- Zero data collection: No telemetry, tracking pixels, analytics, or external accounts.
- No cloud dependency: Your drafts, sender profiles, and messages never touch an external server; everything runs strictly inside your Thunderbird client.
- Pure output: Generates self-contained, standards-compliant HTML that travels cleanly to any email client in the world.
(If we could, we would've organized this submission in the More/Less style too).
Thank you.
