It started as a side-project that grew organically thorough word of mouth. When we realized the huge potential, we decided to turn this into a venture-backed project and applied to YC. The rest is history :)

- scottfr 6y agoFirst, Text Blaze should run on every screen you use. Right now we're Chrome only. We want to expand to other browsers (another user commented about Firefox) and we also want native desktop and mobile applications (keyboards in the case of mobile) so that Text Blaze will work wherever you are working. Second, we want to develop tighter integrations with various applications. In another thread we discussed how a Text Blaze snippet could automatically include the name of the person you are replying to in Gmail. This works, but it very technical currently. We want to build higher-level advanced integrations for all the common sites our users use to make this much easier (Gmail, Google Spreadsheets, Airtable, Monday.com, LinkedIn, Salesforce, Intercom, etc...).
- notsureaboutpg 6y agoIs the plan to make money to charge for integrations? Or is the plan to collect data on people's most used snippets and sell that data?
