Yo, . Let's setup Front for the olark and support emails. I'll ping you later with the deets!
let's do it!
Hunter
btw Mathilde the way your engaging everyone is awesome. That's how you take advantage of being at the top of PH :)
Hunter
thanks :) this is a crazy day!
was well-received several months ago on Product Hunt. - the email space is super competitive. How are you standing out and acquiring new customers?
Hunter
You're right. By making a collaborative email client we try to innovate in the email space, but for companies. This space is not too crowded yet... but we'll need to be fast!
Can't wait to see what this looks like native! Awesome work
Hunter
thanks Liam! :) We can't wait to have you on board.
This is great! Setting it up for my dance team now. One question about the sign-up process-- it was unclear at some stages if I should sign up with my personal email or with the group/team email. I figured it out now but maybe include a simple one-line instruction each time the user is typing someone's name and email so that it's clearer!
Hunter
you're right, it's not clear enough. We'll improve that in the next days! Thanks a lot :)
We made the switch at Exposure ~1 week ago and are pretty jazzed. One of the few products I've been especially impressed with recently.
Hunter
Thanks Kyle! Much appreciated.
This is a damn cool idea. Can't wait to try it out, I wonder if this will compete with other team communication tools like hipchat and etc.
Hunter
I don't think so. I would say: Hipchat/Slack is for internal communication, Front is for external inquiries. But happy to have another point of view :)
Just set this up for our hello@ email address and it's already fixing several shitty parts of our responding-to-customers workflow :)
Hunter
Thanks :)
, how do you feel your solution compares to Help Scout's offering? () We've been using HelpScout for a while vs other popular (but bloated IMO) forms of customer support and we love the "one inbox to rule them all" form of email support.
Hunter
for the moment the main differences are: we are desktop vs they are web, (and we are now mobile) + we integrate your tweets too. If you're on Google Apps then it works with IMAP so that everything is synchronized between Front and Gmail. The vision is not the same I think :) email me if you want to know more!
Hunter
The first version of our mobile app is live! Web based for the moment - native in a few months :) I'd be very happy to have your feedback.
