I like this, like a much more useful DeliciousLibrary. However, I HATE that it uses Gmail! Does Amazon not provide an API that it could use? I'd much rather tools like this used something I can control a lot better. I'm afraid that post-snowden, there is no way I'd allow any third-party software access to something as broad as my Gmail account.
- modoc 12y agoAbsolutely agree. This looks really useful, but I would rather give it my Amazon credentials than access to my email (plus I don't use gmail for much). Or let me forward Amazon receipts to an address ala TripIt? Some options would be good.
- nrzuk 12y agoJust reading https://unioncy.com/how_it_works https://unioncy.com/how_it_works "2. We scan for Amazon receipts Unioncy continuously pulls information from Amazon receipts in your inbox to create a collection of your things." Looks nice in the screen shots but for me that's where it ends until they add register functionality without Google signin!
- vfbod 12y agoThanks! We're starting out with Gmail, but we plan to add more ways of building your collection. Amazon doesn't share the data through its API unfortunately.
- lost_my_pwd 12y agoSame. I would sign up and add everything right now if there were an option to simply enter items manually. A little bit of work on my part would be more preferable to opening up access to my email.
- vfbod 12y agoYou can in fact add items manually using search inside the app. Although I get your point that you are not comfortable signing up and giving permissions.
