@rrhoover dude I'm at 19% reply rate and I let very very little slip through the cracks.
Think this is more of a comment on how many emails are need not reply.
Which spawns it's whole own rabbit hole of thought.
@rrhoover - I don't know if I should be proud or embarrassed....
My global rank: 1 out of 4415
We all knew you hustled Ryan, but holy shit. @collinmathilde how do you count answered? A huge percentage of email are from auto-responders or lists and many don't use donotreply addresses to look personalized.
Am I and @imranghory the only one concerned with giving access to our email? I'm not questioning the ethics of the company behind this product, but how well do we know them? How secure is their data, and how is the data being used - really? It's going to take alot of faith, or alot of reassurances to get widespread adoption. (Or a big investment from one of the top 3).
Love the idea - don't get me wrong.
@ryannegri cleverest trojan horse ever but I will give them the benefit of the doubt and believe they are helping me with my inbox nightmare
So this is awesome. Just shared with my entire team and told them all to do it.
It would be awesome to compare to a group or a domain. Heck some companies might even pay for that. If I could get a report of all of the emails for my specific domain and how each person is doing. That would be extremely valuable. It could also drive adoption.
I want to see how I'm ranked next to my coworkers / peers.
My ranking:
19037 emails received (14 out of 591)
3639 emails sent (11 out of 591)
21h 19' response time (295 out of 591)
10.9% emails answered (254 out of 591)
Global Rank: 18 out of 591
Thanks for sharing Ryan! If you're wondering how it works, you can have a look here: http://blog.frontapp.com/inside-... Let me know if you have any question :)
I find it hard to relate to this service. Since when is receiving & sending a lot of email a good thing? And the response rate is incredibly tied to the type of emails you get (most emails don't require a response, when you're cc'ed it's typically FYI, you get a lot of automatically generated reports, etc...).
Seems a bit like Xobni at the beginning. Yes, you can pull lots of metrics. But they're not particularly relevant and won't change how you behave, so what's the point?
@skasriel the number of emails you send is directly tied to startup success. It's science.
But seriously, this is more fun than an actual utility. :)
Just a friendly reminder: Giving an app access to your email account is a huge amount of trust, apart from your email it essentially gives them access to every service you have registered under that email address due to password resets.
Even if you 100% trust the creators of the app you're also assuming that they've fully security hardened their platform because any such app is a highly valuable target for hackers.
@imranghory This comment should be at the top! Cool service, but approach with caution. There's a similar service out there called Gmail Meter which actually uses a Google Script and stores data on your own Google Account, so a much safer option.
This is really neat, had some fun with it.
I use 3 different email accounts daily, I wish I could have combined the stats in one feed instead of having to check each one individually.
@mrvladnov I have 4 inboxes I route through Gmail with a POP3 checker to pull in email every 3 min. Could this work for you?
Nice to have a tool that quantifies your efficiency like this. Unread stats would be an interesting addition.
Now that Ive done mine, Im not sure what to with this new found info. BTW @rrhoover, you're officially superman!
