Replies are managed through a magic link (one-tap answers). You can also just reply in-thread in natural language and loop will pick it up.

Thanks for the kind words!

scheduling bots got their bad reputation from a few concrete failure modes Loop was actually designed around. it sends an email from a clearly-labeled automated address, it's not pretending to be a person. It asks one simple, one-tap question, not an open-ended thread. It also never chases you with another email. The only people who ever hear from it twice are ones who explicitly tapped "still in motion, check back with me," and even then it's capped to 2x.

Reputation was the number one thing in mind so that Loop adds to your credibility as a connector and not the other way around.

One thing I will mention here is that when I make an intro, I always add one line - "Adding loop to see if this intro was helpful down the road, feel free to BCC us from here". This makes the process more intentional. Either way, recipient responses have been positive.

Thanks, that's exactly the use case I built it for.

Yes to the dashboard. It's completely optional so you can theoretically never open an account but if you do, you'll find all the intros in one space (sent and received). It offers more visibility on when loop emerges, allows for manual edits and more control over outcome notifications. There's also statistics like what types of people you get introduced to (investors, founders etc) your heatmap, loop rate (how many intros resolved with a real outcome) for quality measurement and more.

No MCP yet. You're right that data shouldn't stay trapped behind a dashboard/inbox. I'm genuinely curious what shape would be useful to you specifically. Something like "which of my intros are stalled," a reciprocity view ("who's a good connector for me"), or more of a raw export?

Good use of the new HTML-in-canvas feature but I'm not sure of the advantage over emulators (?) Its a big friction to have to enable it but I am guessing you just did this to play around with it. Great stuff!

Woah, great concept but too many cooks in the kitchen. Lots going on and it would benefit smaller lobbies. Otherwise awesome.

Very cool. I would consider changing Celsius to Fahrenheit for US based locations (or just make it as an additional option for settings).

Woah! Welp - here goes my weekend.

Very cool! Would love a way to implement and play on the browser as well. Fingers crossed for that one..such a good game and very nostalgic.

I thought they are examples of UGC. Didn't linger long enough to see the small "available" up top, but now I am noticing it.

Very cool. Would be nice to have an random generator so you can start from somewhere and edit as you go. I think pricing should be cut in half otherwise you would have some churn - lots of similar services out there.

Those small, random items that pop-up later on in conversation actually make the experience feel better. But that's just my own personal experience.

We get so obsessed with shipping shiny features for the next pitch deck that we forget the oven actually needs to bake bread.
