It seemed pretty clear to me from the description that this thing will let scripts read from Chrome to, e.g., pull in names from what you are looking at on LinkedIn and also make web requests.
But OP and Text Blaze should take your question as great feedback: by simplifying to "programmable snippets", it sounds like just a dumb automation tool to reduce typing. We saw that stuff yesterday on HN with people using AutoHotKey and similar.
Make it more clear what you offer!
- jnsie 6y agoAgreed. I went to their homepage and it highlights dumb automation (which is valuable, but everyone is doing already) over transforming web content. For instance, the image halfway down the page is a standard text replacement scenario (replace /ty with "Thank you...."). They need to focus on their differentiator and not try to reinvent the text expansion wheel (especially on a single browser)
- danbarak 6y agoWe definitely have a lot of work to do when it comes to marketing. One key challenge is tailoring the massage to the audience. While the HN audience would understand transforming web content and understand the value in it, most support reps won't. One thing we're working on is different landing pages for different functions. That should allow us to highlight benefits that are relevant for the audience.
