I’m working on an inbox service that makes it easy to have integrations (think Slack superpowers). Would love to see how we could integrate Slimbox and offer it to our users.
- makemills 7y agoThanks! We've really tried to keep Slimbox simple in every way. And yes, we went through Google's verification process and it was pretty rigorous. Because Slimbox is a relatively simple application, we came in under $50k, but laying out 5-figures pre-revenue was a tough pill to swallow. It's certainly a great test of how much you believe in what you're making – we were fortunate to have strong validation from early testers. The founder of a tool called GMass documented an experience of the verification process that felt similar to ours that you might find useful: https://www.gmass.co/blog/live-updates-google-oauth-verification-security/ https://www.gmass.co/blog/live-updates-google-oauth-verifica... Feel free to reach out as you make progress on your inbox service.
- leshokunin 7y agoWonderful. Really appreciate the insight. What’s the best way to reach you? The contact on Slimbox ok?
- makemills 7y agoYeah, that's great. Just mention HN and we can make the link.
