It's interesting that most of the comments in response to this are about how great Greplin was. What was it about Greplin search that appealed to people so much? If it was so popular, why did the company pivot away from it? I have my own theories, but would be great to hear from folks directly.
- OoTheNigerian 13y agoGreplin was useful, worked and helped several times.
- olegp 13y agoDid you use it on a regular basis and had it set as your home page or was it useful only when you couldn't find something any other way?
- davezatch 13y agoNot the parent, but I found it incredibly useful as well. The thing is, I would always forget it existed, and so its utility was kind of low for me. I was blown away when I first hooked everything up to it, then barely touched it until they pivoted, at which point I lost interest and disconnected all my accounts from them. A shame, but not sure how to solve that problem.
- olegp 13y agoReason I'm curious about how everyone was using Greplin is because we are working on something that addresses the same problem at https://starthq.com https://starthq.com and I think we cracked the "forgetting it's there" problem. Would love to chat more. I followed you on Twitter, so please follow back so I can DM.
