Nikunj, thanks for sharing Unioncy. Would be great to hear what you think about it.

I think there is huge potential to monetize in this space. I think the key is to maintain the integrity of our users. I don't want to give much detail in public to be honest. Happy to have a chat in person if you are really interested. If so, feel free to ping me @vfbod. Thanks!

Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I take it that you have two main concerns in security and use of your data. Regarding security, I can't argue with the overall nature of the problem that you are pointing out. What I can say is that we take security very seriously and are being proactive about it by implementing measures such as SSL. To give some perspective, I think the service is very safe compared to many other online services that store personal data. We realise this is not enough for some and respect that, but we will keep improving.

Regarding your second concern about privacy. For the avoidance of doubt, the privacy policy says "We use your personal data, in anonymous form or by link to pseudonyms, when required, for the following purposes. In order to provide information and services required by you, such as customer service for example. To provide for an customised presentation of content, advertising and user experience. To provide news regarding the services of Unioncy and other administrative issues. In order to provide you with targeted marketing activities and advertising offers on The Unioncy website..."

This policy is vey much in line with Evernote and other leading personal data services. Similar to them we never want to compromise the user experience. Hope this helps!

Thanks for weighing in. It would be interesting if you could elaborate your thoughts a bit.

Thanks, great to hear a different opinion. It is expected that giving access to Gmail is a concern for some and not for others. Luckily, there are many ways you can build out this area. Agree that the space has a lot of potential, it's currently very broken!

Looks interesting. We used to call them 'Product Cards' in an early prototype. Will have a look at this

Thanks, you can manually add products through search (with images, title, brand, etc)

We don't prompt or recommend what to add at this point, but it's an interesting idea if you can do it well. I appreciate your feedback!

thanks, that's helpful!

sure, that makes sense. thanks

Thanks, your feedback is really interesting and I would like to learn more. Can I ask you why do you do keep all of this information associated with your products?

this is true, we will improve mobile as soon as we have more resource.

thanks, that's good feedback. If you are interested, register your email on the waitlist at the bottom of the landing page and we'll let you know when other ways of signing up are available.

Thanks for joining in. This is a fair point of course. We started with Gmail and Amazon for online purchases and would like to add support for more vendors.

For offline purchases, I agree that barcodes could be a good way to get them into the collection. There are many more ways that we would like to implement, we are just focusing and starting small.

You can in fact add items manually using search inside the app. Although I get your point that you are not comfortable signing up and giving permissions.
