Love this idea! As businesses become saturated with email spam, direct mail becomes increasingly powerful for marketing. Very smart of @karlhwhite and @toddg777 to build something to help use it effectively. If you're interested in other direct mail apps, I spoke with Lob about their API platform: https://getputpost.co/how-the-lob-direct-mail-api-grew-by-staying-focused-c36ff0d0ce4f

It's brilliant that Slack opened up an Ideaboard [1] to share great ideas for Slack apps. Slack's platform will really become a game changer as they encourage more developers to build big businesses on their APIs. I wanted to explore this concept and started a newsletter to interview API companies about killer app ideas: https://tinyletter.com/getputpost [1]...

Startups create platforms by helping developers build big businesses on their APIs. I interviewed companies like Coinbase, Postmates, and Plaid about their APIs and killer app ideas they want people to build on their platforms. Will be sharing every couple weeks in a newsletter. Here's the first edition, featuring Coinbase - http://tinyletter.com/getputpost/letters/get-put-post-coinbase

Nice! We did something similar at StackLead (http://stacklead.com/blog/new-feature-daily-summary-emails/). This looks really clean and it will be interesting to see what features they add to connect with VIP signups and improve the onboarding experience.

I've been using this Chrome extension constantly in Gmail. It pulls in a ton of info about people I'm emailing and where they work (like # of employees and fundraising). I also love that I can quickly look up someone email's address just knowing their name and company. Very slick!

Interesting. Reminds me of https://www.producthunt.com/tech/bop-fm

Is the site down?

Just read that Peter Thiel’s Founders Fund backed this company.

I'm a big fan of Clearbit. In a very short time, they've built an impressive system for aggregating BI data online. I'm excited for more targeted applications for marketers and salespeople (like the slick https://mailmatch.io). Online data exhaust is a BIG problem and Clearbit brings a smart approach for making sense of it all.

With http://www.producthunt.com/posts/lyft-line and http://www.producthunt.com/posts/uberpool announced back-to-back, this sounds like an interesting model to drive down costs. It seems like there isn't a strong network effect between cities, so Via could have an edge there.

Excited to test this out, but it's not updating with my data :-(

Google Analytics can be a real pain (we even pushed pageviews to Mixpanel for awhile at StackLead). This is a great summary email that lets you know how you're doing versus the previous month.
