I may have missed it, but this needs to be more than email. for many personal connections I need text, whatsapp, signal integration etc. and now you are in the world of accessing encrypted data. but without all the messaging protocols, the data is misleading. I dont manage my network through email.

That's totally fine, you're simply not in our market :) Many people do though, that's why we exist :)

That describes exactly _zero_ of my friends/acquaintances, and perhaps low single digit percent of my professional connections. Even at work, where we use Suite and Google Calendar, internally an overwhelming percentage of our communication is via Slack, video calls, and Jira/Trello tickets. Email is mostly a customer comms channel here (most of who are not Google Calendar users)

    I know people who put every personal meeting on their Google Calendar. You wouldn’t know if you did, because they usually don’t send invitations unless they know the other person is the same way.

      It's probably a Silicon-Valley-bubble thing :) I don't know anyone outside of tech who does it.

    I put all of my meetings and appointments into GCal. I don't use email that much for it but I definitely put it all into the calendar.

      That's already 50% of the way :)

    We currently have about 25 paying customers. We do think there must be about 10'000 people like this in the world. Independent consultants and agency owners for one are niches of people who tend to fit our market very well :) But your feedback is great and something we've discovered a long time ago. Which is why we don't think this can turn into a big VC-funded business :)
