Rapportive clone fills void left by LinkedIn
- o0-0o 12y agoWow, good work. Did you get this out the door in 24 hours or was is brewing for a while?
- welder 12y agoI didn't make it, I'm just the op.
- maxerickson 12y ago"Show HN" is intended for things you've made: https://news.ycombinator.com/showhn.html https://news.ycombinator.com/showhn.html
- welder 12y agoOops, can someone remove it?
- maxerickson 12y agoI guess a mod will if/when they notice. You could email hn@ycombinator.com and explain the mistake, they will definitely notice that.
- jayzalowitz 12y agoHow does this work?
- welder 12y agoLooks like it uses the same api as Rapportive based on the permissions it asks for when installing.
- sudheendrach 12y agoNo, it is using FullContact APIs.
- sudheendrach 12y agoOops.. you are right. They are using rapportive. var LOGIN_URL = 'https://rapportive.com/login_status'; var LOOKUP_URL = 'https://profiles.rapportive.com/contacts/email/'; var API_HOST = '104.131.218.68'; var API_URL = 'http://'+API_HOST+'/api/profiles';
- mkrecny 12y agoHow do you access the source?
- illdave 12y agoAfter installing the extension, open the extensions menu, find it and click "Inspect views: background page", then check the JS file that it references.
- fletchowns 12y agoAny chance you can share the source in a gist or something?
- sepultura 12y agoInstall, open Gmail
- michaelhoffman 12y agoThe void is simply that you can't store notes anymore, right? I recently downloaded all my Rapportive notes to find I had only used the feature once.
- kevingadd 12y agoThe void is that Rapportive was neutered to only show linkedin instead of a contact's full set of social services.
- michaelhoffman 12y agoI didn't realize that. How annoying.
- hartator 12y agoI've done: 1) Install extension 2) Allow permissions 3) Restart Chrome 4) Resign-in in Gmail Doesn't seem to work for me. :/
- changdizzle 12y agoI installed, logged out of Gmail, restarted my browser and re-logged in. You also need to click on the actual e-mail address in the e-mail for it to popup, definitely nowhere near as elegant as rapportive and seems to work ~60-70% of the time
- driverdan 12y agoNo privacy policy? No details about how it works (without reviewing the source)? No ToS or licensing info?
- fmela 12y agoBe careful. This appears to be sending the result of every Rapportive API call to 104.131.218.68
- Xorlev 12y agoThat's skeevy, beyond using the Rapportive API.
- extrapolate 12y agoHonestly I would just be happy with an extension that uses local storage to store notes on a per-contact basis like Rapportive used to. I don't need any other fancy features and don't want to worry about a privacy policy/ToS.
