I think the fact that it looks like toy is a plus to YC.

Great founders + (seemingly) toy/stupid/too hard ideas = how YC selects.
- filipt 9y agoThanks for the support! Really appreciate that :)
- gordon_freeman 9y agoI think along with this TOY-ness, YC also looks for the available market and in this case I do not see that with this app. maybe the idea is to get some traction and sell it to Google down the road?
- filipt 9y agoThat'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.
- gordon_freeman 9y agoI maybe wrong but I see the email market in two ways: people who have two many emails which creates a scheduling problem. And people who reply/compose too many emails. I think the later market is not that big because you also need to make sure the people get more value (or should I say, write more emails) out of the monthly fees they pay for the service. But I'd like to be wrong here and I wish you succeed. Thanks.
