I based my estimates on the best numbers I could find. That said, my spam numbers were in fact incorrect (spam is small and gets deleted). Accounting for that, people save an avera…

These are both excellent points. I've done a bit more digging, and updated the article to reflect them. Thanks!

Hi. This is Ian, Threadable cofounder. Thanks for your questions! We're sustaining Threadable by charging business users for business-specific features. Those features will actuall…

I'm an early beta user, and have been really happy with it. It saves me a bunch of time, but I think the real value is in what it teaches me about where to focus our efforts. Way e…

Good question! At the moment, getting at your archives is about as easy as with Google Groups (which is to say, not very). Right now, you could use our webhooks to funnel all email…

I agree completely! We're really excited about email transparency. Supporting it well has been one of our goals from the beginning. We have a few users who practice it (including u…

We exist, but we're still figuring out pricing. ;) As I said earlier, our plan is to charge for business features, and not by restricting the number of users in a given list. https…

Thanks glasser! One of the key changes between how Threadable works and previous mailing lists is that we can actually customize fairly deeply each message to each user, rather tha…

There's a number of reasons, but our groups implementation is the most compelling one for me: A threadable list can be divided easily into subgroups with their own subset of the li…

I agree, email is sort of a morass of old, incompatible clients and aging protocols. They need work, but the installed base is huge, so it's a hard problem. The solution is probabl…

Heh. Threadable's actually Rails on the backend, but last time I had a problem with collectstatic being slow, I used this: https://github.com/antonagestam/collectfast

Our current thought is to charge for business features. A Threadable list is a pretty open place by default. Lists are all members-only, but once you've been added you have a lot o…

Thanks, neilk. People say they hate email, but we see that as an indicator of its utility: "I hate this but use it everyday" sounds like an opportunity for improvement. As Elie Wie…

Hi, everyone. I'm Ian, one of the Threadable founders. I'd be happy to answer any questions.

Yep! The Chrome debugger for js, and pry-debugger for ruby.
