   Thank you for your responses everyone, I think we have a clear consensus: no cards up front.

   We are having this very same debate internally now at https://starthq.com I'm thinking that individual users should be put on a free trial without the CC being asked up front. However, group plans that will be paid for by I

   Do you need a unified inbox where you can read all the messages, or do you actually want to be able to search across all your inboxes (like you could with Greplin) or aggregate notifications that you received a new message (Chime)?

   I don't understand what you're trying to say with the Russian example. You can for example trust the Finnish government not to look at your data or let other governments do the same. A number of companies here in Finland are empha

    It's nice that they are frank about it, but it is also pretty clear that any company hosting in the US, even if they are based elsewhere, is less of an appealing option to the truly security conscious (or paranoid, depends on how you l

    Thanks for the advice! I have toyed with Clojure, but the idea of functional programming without a procedural escape hatch for any real world project puts me off a bit after doing ML at university. What would be the best book to read to get

    Reason 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 and I think we cracked the "forgetting it's there" problem

    Did 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?

    Of course one needs to think about the problem up front, especially in JavaScript. The problem with Java was that due to the fact that it's not dynamic, it was easy to get carried away creating abstract base classes and interfaces, or

    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 o

    So it did come across as dancing one Greplin's grave - thank you for clarifying that. I'm sorry. Next time I'll refrain from posting comments when I've only had two hours of sleep the night before.

    Yes, I do promote my startup whenever I can, but am always on topic. Why the negativity? Is it wrong to be vocal or do you feel like I'm dancing on Greplin's grave?

    Why not just use Pingdom which is designed for that? One thing Docs is good for though is building custom dashboards on a $0 budget. We've got one at https://starthq.com that shows our key metrics and graphs cohorts for the
