I just tried it & this is pretty slick. I want to switch from writing emails to this entirely. I do however have some small but important blockers: 1. That purple chat bubble in the email. I cannot have that thing be sent to any of my serious contacts – I'd much appreciate it if I can just send as plain text. 2. Ability to control subject line. I also cannot have "{my name} <> you" be sent out as subject seriously. When starting a chat I'd like to be able to set the subject. I also have some non-blockers: 1. I'd like to add a signature to every email 2. "chat@parse.pandamessage.com via sendgrid.net" is it possible to remove "via sengrid.net"? Ideally, it would say "{my email/phone} via Panda Message" Great launch! Following.

@parse @junhohong Thanks for the comment! We can do all of what you mentioned above. Just a quick question though: The reason why it says "via sendgrid.net" is because we do not ask for permission to send emails on your behalf via Gmail API (when we ask for Gmail auth we ONLY ask for contacts not for read/write permission). Would you be willing to grant the send permission to this? (How about the read permission?) Also, one other option is the email does not have to come from "chat@parse.pandamessae.com" - we could for example give you your own USERNAME@pandamessage.com email to send it. Please let us know which of the options above would be most suitable!

@tyler_weitzman Ah got it. Honestly, after having tried the app I'd love to give it read/write permissions, much like an email client. But before trying the app, I would have been pretty concerned if it asked for read/write permissions because I didn't really know what the product did... USERNAME@pandamessage.com is better, I'd definitely take that over the parse email.

Panda makes it easy to interface with clients that I do not want to join my slack (or create a shared channel).

Hey all! When I was 16 I launched a messaging app called Black SMS that reached the top 10 social networking apps in the App Store. It encrypts individual iMessage to protect them locally. Since then, I've studied encryption at Stanford and dropped out to work on this new product, Panda. It uses upgraded technology from Black SMS, but is multi-platform and has way more features like calendar, zoom, voice integrations. Panda is really fast and servers as a professional messenger - think an email replacement that feels much more like slack, but you can use it with people outside your team easily and at scale (unlike guest channels). Panda does not require a download for users receiving messages. Nor do they have to make an account: Through Panda you can DM any person with either their phone or email. Since LinkedIn Sales Navigator and Rapportive extensions have both shut down, Panda also lets you confirm email addresses and find Linkedin accounts through Panda as well. Super excited to get your comments. We work fast so expect version two in less than a week with your comments integrated in :) P.S: There's a bug on Android for creating conversations, we already fixed it but Google Play is taking longer than usual to approve updates due to COVID19. Please be patient :) We also have an upcoming design and calendar integration update for iOS.

I hate email. Hate it more than taking out the trash, but I can't add external clients to our slack channel. Panda makes it super easy to have a chat like experience with everyone including outside partners. This is great for conferences but recently having it for group zoom calls has been amazing! Also ++ for the calendar integration.

So amazing to see your hard work on this, Tyler. I think it solves a real problem and could see this getting really really big.
