What about Read Less?

Would be cool to use this tool to read less of incoming email and then dig deeper if I think it's worth it.


When I was researching this product area, I found a bunch of similar tools that summarized on the inbound side. I thought it would be more interesting to experiment on the outbound side as the main initial focus, which I haven't seen.

I do have a generic popup that you can to summarize any passage, so you could copy-paste some long passage (email, article) to piggy back on the functionality. But it isn't tightly integrated into the Gmail UI as of now.


I love how you flipped that so quickly, and it immediately sounds more useful to me!


I feel the same way.


You can track changes and see comments as to why each change was made, that's really cool.


They should use this as their main selling point.


Below are some really great free video courses to learn accounting fundamentals from Johnson County Community College.

Any plans on making a video demo?


Yes I have plans because everyone says it would be better if there are video demos here. I wonder if product tours are not enough.


Product tours may be enough for people with Anki and WorkFlowy experience, however, I have no experience with them and, I still have no idea what your product does. A demo video would be great.


Okay... Thank you for telling me about your experience.


Very cool. What information is automatically imported to your list when scanning a barcode? Is it just the name of the product?



A crowdfunding site for product feature requests.

Stripe closed my account before I was able to launch as it was "unable to accept payments for crowdfunding"..... Their marketing doesn't match their policies.

Wow. I understand it's their right to do this, but that's total horseshit IMO. I guess maybe crowdfunding is subject to too many refunds, but IDK.


This is a really cool idea.

You could add a tag to feature request issues that it'd read from, maybe as a github app or something. I run an OS repo and it'd be really cool to be able to get through them all faster with a bit of money to pay a freelancer, for example. I imagine the users-paying side would be very hard to find though.

I'd also love to be able to attach a bounty to PRs with this money, although quality control would make me worry it'd be hard.

I imagine Patreon is never an enormous sum for people because the money is goodwill - it isn't tied to receiving anything back. You could make it like this.

I'm surprised there wasn't some other way of doing this - clearly other crowd funding sites exists, what do they use?


For open source issues there's already a few solutions, one to look at is https://issuehunt.io/ (they use Stripe)

Most use Stripe. I guess it's just a case by case thing. I really don't know why they rejected me when they advertise that exact use case [1]. But the policy I was directed to says the opposite [2].

Stripe supports crowdfunding sites. I’d be happy to take a second look if you email me at edwin@stripe.com.


Awesome, email sent!


That will change soon. :) Awesome project!
