Tomorrow the PM asks to be getting push notifications to some internal admin app instead of emails. Then a day later he wants his deputee to be getting emails as well. How easy would it be to modify the sg.sendmail to comply? How easy would it be via the pp interface?

This sounds great, thanks for the idea. It's like adding rapportive to it.

I agree the home page is still a bit sketchy. Sign up though and you land on a more detailed page explaining the API usage.

paid subscribers? honestly not yet. Just have a few trials out of some tiny marketing efforts, nothing serious. If this goes to HN front page though then we can consider this launch.

I admit the title is a little scoopy but it needs to grab attention. As for identifying celebrity signups, if they sign up via facebook for instance, you can quickly count their followers count for instance and alert if it's >X.

Whats the added value of sendgrid over gmail api? of zencoder over ffmpeg? you can do everything on your own, of course. All depends on your abilities and resources. This is something I found myself doing in many apps, and thought to spin it off to a separate and independent service for the joy of others. It can save them from [usually] ugly coding, it adds a central and single place of mngmt for all this notification management, both for events and for recipients. IMO its useful and worth it but I'm of course totally biased.

Because it's harder to enforce on a team whereas a central service (also as a 2nd security layer) deals with it on behalf of the team/org

Because we need your email and dont want to take it from GitHub because we may span to gitlab, bitbucket etc

that said I will try to fix everything you mention and make it more comfortable for new ppl to join, thx for the feedback!
