Thanks for the kind words! Glad you like it. Not a problem if your colleague is skeptical, we'll have time to convince them. What type of role are they in? Integrations will come. But for now every tool which stores contacts or spreads

Three quick thoughts for you which should hopefully help: 1) Double your prices! They're so cheap! The service is so useful, saves dev and support time, etc. Worth more. ($12, $24, $49 is still crazy cheap.) 2) Yearly plans, especially

Hey Jon. I don't check HN comments very often. Keith was unable to record the audio on his side, plus he didn't have headphones or a microphone. On top of all that, we had to use Google Hangouts instead of Skype, which would have
