Great job with Openland! I love the ability to chat with a group of people that are going through the same problems as us with the startup <3

Awesome insight, thanks so much! I'd love to chat with you about that - anything you're specifically looking for out of the product?

We're already developing a Gmail Add-on, which will work on mobile! We're looking to go into mobile as soon as possible

Excellent question! We're already starting to work on calendar integration to help you out with scheduling. Over time, we plan on improving more and more parts of your email - task management, figuring out which emails are the top ones for you to read and reply to, who you should reach out to etc. That's just a few ideas that we've been thinking about - would really love to hear if you have any suggestions!

Understood! We'll be working on this asap :) Really appreciate your feedback.

Thank you! That's extremely useful - definitely not concern trolling. We recognize how important email is to our users, so we definitely want to resolve those issues!

We're incorporating some of the things you've already mentioned (client-side decryption, better sanitization), but we'll be a lot more cautious moving forward. You brought up really excellent points, so thank you for sharing those with us!

Got it, makes sense. I'll make sure to update that soon! Thank you for the suggestion.

We delete data the second we don't have access to users' account. However, we don't store any new data after you uninstall us. The reason is that there's actually no way of tracking who uninstalls us - Chrome Extensions are not providing any real support for it. We're looking into it, and will retroactively remove all data from users who uninstalled us.

Brilliant idea! We'll make the checkbox more visible! Got it, sorry about that. Please let me know what you think once you get some time to play with the extension! Thank you so much again for the feedback, it's incredibly valuable.

Really great idea! I put it down so that we can work on it in the near future. There seems to be a lot of privacy issues with attachments. Do you have any suggestion on how you'd like us to deal with it? Is it something you're worried about at all?

Awesome! so happy to hear you've enjoyed it so far. We've got a ton of additional things coming up for you, and no, they're not going to make us SmartReply!

Almost definitely a yes to an Outlook extension coming up - we're just making sure now that we're doing a good enough job on Gmail before we start porting over to another platform :)

Hey - any chance you could email me at [email protected]? I'd love to set up a phone call to hear how we could be better for you. Thanks!

That's good feedback - why do you think the available market is small?

That's certainly a possibility, but for now we're just really focused on making the product really useful.

Glad to hear we've been useful! Looking forward to more feedback in the future :)

Thanks so much for all the feedback, I really appreciate it.

1. We're sharing our privacy policy on our chrome extension webstore page - did you manage to see it there? If not, we should definitely do a much better job presenting it, so thank you for pointing it out.

2. So sorry, definitely don't want to hide anything! We'll push out the changes asap to show our users how to remove your permissions. We stop looking at your data once you uninstall (even if you don't revoke permissions).

3.Sorry about that! You can remove it easily in the "EasyEmail" control panel - just hit "Settings" and you can uncheck the button

4. We'll keep getting better! Thanks for pointing out that we're suggesting some generic sentences - this tends to happen when the user didn't send a lot of emails from a given email address (which means there's not a lot of data to learn from.)

Again, thank you so much for your feedback. We'll get right to fixing all the problems!

Very interesting, I haven't really thought of it that way. Do you mean we essentially lower the barrier to you starting to write an email?

If that's the case, that's a fascinating insight - thank you so much for sharing it!

Great insight! Chrome extension is our MVP actually - over time we will certainly expand to other platforms (or even have our own email client!). We're already in the process for setting up a Gmail Add-on (https://blog.google/products/g-suite/do-more-your-inbox-gmai...)

It also seems like we can keep going with a Chrome Extension for a bit - Streak, MixMax or even Grammarly are good examples of companies who are focused around a Chrome extension.

What other platforms do you think we could focus on? Where would you like to see us most?
