InboxSDK was obviously a ton of work. What is your business model for it?
- alooPotato 11y agoWell the great part about us working on the InboxSDK is that we need it ourselves for Streak. We were already doing a lot of the work and we wanted to more cleanly separate our business logic from our Gmail wrangling. As we add support to the SDK for Google's Inbox client, Streak and other apps built on the SDK will run inside of Google's Inbox for free and automatically. As for business model, we aren't really thinking about that too much, we just knew how much pain ppl went through making gmail apps and just knew that the SDK needed to exist. We don't plan on charging for it. We've talked a lot about doing an appstore inside gmail. The idea being that apps could opt in to be in the appstore. If you opt-in then your app automatically adds the appstore to your users gmail experience. That would help drive traffic to apps. Once a user installs any one of the apps, they have access to all the other apps in the appstore.
