@marc I want one good email summary per day of what's being discussed. That way, info gets pushed to me - but in a calm way, where I don't have to remember to check all the time. I miss web forums, which are close to this. But, they are all so clunky.
The best asynchronous, modern forum I've used is YC bookface. I've been working on a project called #booklet, which is inspired by YC Bookface. If you're interested in testing it out - I'd love to keep developing it for a community like WIP. It's made to be high-polish and realtime, but able to be used over just email with one good summary per day.
The closest I've seen to what I want today is groups.io/ - but it's still pretty clunky.
It only shows todo activity of the people you follow, but there's a lot more we can like you suggest. Include new discussions, recently added projects, etc.
What would you like to see in such a daily email?
I've been building out our own forum software which we're having this conversation in right now. Are you saying you want more of an email interface for this, including the ability to reply to comments, etc?

Do you subscribe to the current daily WIP email?

No, I do the weekly email - I'll switch to daily.
The main point of a forum for me is non-realtime discussions. Replying via email is secondary for me.
