   I think there is huge potential to monetize in this space. I think the key is to maintain the integrity of our users. I don't want to give much detail in public to be honest. Happy to have a chat in person if you are really interested.

   Thanks for joining in. They're certainly in the same space. I think that we focus on different things and provide different value. Itembase and Slice are very similar in terms of feature set with a focus on online shopping. Also, their

   Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I take it that you have two main concerns in security and use of your data. Regarding security, I can't argue with the overall nature of the problem that you are pointing out. What I can say is that we

   Thanks, great to hear a different opinion. It is expected that giving access to Gmail is a concern for some and not for others. Luckily, there are many ways you can build out this area. Agree that the space has a lot of potential, it's

   Thanks, you can manually add products through search (with images, title, brand, etc) We don't prompt or recommend what to add at this point, but it's an interesting idea if you can do it well. I appreciate your feedback!

    Thanks for joining in. This is a fair point of course. We started with Gmail and Amazon for online purchases and would like to add support for more vendors. For offline purchases, I agree that barcodes could be a good way to get them into t

    You 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.

    Thanks! Sure, I guess that's a good solution for people who know how to do it and are willing to spend the time.

    Thanks, that's great feedback. Google also just released a Gmail API with more fine grained scopes that we are looking at.

    Thanks! 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.
