Etacts (YC W10) Builds What I Want
- swombat 16y agoCan you really trust a list of "important contacts" that's auto-generated? If I send a single mail to, say, an investor, and they reply to me, I want that unanswered reply to be in the list - even if I've only emailed them once. Can you force etacts to consider certain emails as important?
- imp 16y agoThey don't use the word "important", they use the words "top contacts", which I think more accurately refers to "frequent contacts." So you would know ahead of time that the investor's email isn't going to be in that list.
- swombat 16y agoI'm not quite sure why I need a tool to remind me to stay in touch with people I'm already in touch with all the time... It's the others I need reminders for!
- howsta 16y agoHey swombat (super-wombat?) You can set reminders on any of your contacts in our interface (in fact, you can sort by days since contact to find people that you've lost touch with). It also includes people you used to email a lot but have forgotten about recently. Howie
- kixxauth 16y agoThis is one reason why developing for the browser is awesome. Even in the case of a browser extension, you can roll out changes so fast.
- davidedicillo 16y agoThe only problem I have with Etacts is that it forces you to use Google Chrome. At least Rapportive is integrated in Mailplane as well. Don't get me wrong, I love Chrome, but once you start doing font management (I'm a designer) on your computer Chrome start screwing things up

- WillyF 16y agoI sent an e-mail to the guys at Etacts thanking them for building what I wanted (their main product). It's amazing to me that Gmail hasn't built something like this yet. Now, what'd I really like to see is Etacts on top of Apple Mail. That probably wouldn't make sense for them, but it's what I want.
