Greplin (YC W10) expands team and office
- Skywing 16y agoJealous? Me? Nooooo. I promise. I'm not jealous. Ok, yea, I'm 100% jealous.
- samtp 16y agoGood news, but why is your landing page exactly the same as Evernote (mac book pro, mobile devices, search bar)?
- jpeterson 16y agoWow, nice catch. It even has the exact same search term and result page in the search bar graphic.
- deleted 16y ago[deleted]
- chriscohoat 16y agoYeah, comparing https://www.greplin.com/ https://www.greplin.com/ to http://www.evernote.com/ http://www.evernote.com/ it's pretty obvious.
- pclark 16y agoPresumably because Evernote will have tested this (and has proven traction) and when you're Evernote for x ("your personal data") it makes sense to use terminology/messaging your target market is familiar with? (or, coincidence)
- samtp 16y agoEven if Evernote has already tested it, you shouldn't just rip off your competitor's look and feel. It's in bad taste and fails to show why your product is unique at all.
- thecoffman 16y agoCool - glad to see the challenge paid off in finding some new talent. I remember having fun doing it when it came out!
- hugh3 16y agoCongratulations on the new office, which looks nice, but... I have to admit that the most exciting aspect of this post for me was finding out that there's a restaurant in SoMA devoted entirely to grilled cheese sandwiches.
- hugh3 16y agoPS. I just tried the programming challenge. But apparently the result I get for the third one (115) is wrong, and damned if I can figure out why.
- tedc 16y agoI don't have to feel too bad because at least you're not right across the street from an awesome brewery Oh wait... 21st amendment and a grilled-cheesery!!! Not Fair! Awesome that you are expanding and I can't wait to see what you guys do next.
- revorad 16y agoUmm before someone tells you off for it, you need a link to greplin.com on the sidebar of individual blog posts. Or best to have it in the header.
- rwalker 16y agoin the sidebar now - thanks!
- greattypo 16y agoWelcome to the neighborhood! Unfortunately our startup is moving out of South Park in the next few days.. but if you get sick of grilled cheese, some of our favorite lunch options have been: D'urso Deli, Mexico Au Parc, and Centro. At least one person in the office has a Au Parc tostada ($7) in here just about every day.
- bkudria 16y agoAlso, South Park Cafe makes a really delicious burger for $9.
- andrewjshults 16y agoGlad to see that I'm not the only one using a printer box on top of a regular desk to make a standing desk. I'm pretty sure if we ever need to use this printer it's going to have elbow dents in it.
- timcederman 16y agoDon't forget Little Skillet
