    Nude sunbathing etc has been a feature of model railways for as long as I can remember. All goes over you head until your 15 anyway. The adults chuckle knowingly and quietly, you d…

    I am so keen to visit this attraction. Pecorama was just the tiniest bit of a disappointment!

    +1/ YouTube is the worst rabbit hole on the internet. Hugely addictive and yet full of so much valuable content. Good work.

    I like how you can have titles half way down the columns.

    Straw poll on teams in our batch, yes they are 'raising successfully at demo day' roughly in line with previous batches. Far fewer in-person investor meetings as you would expect. …

    This is a cool idea and an interesting insight. Glad to hear about what a 'normal' YC interview is like. Reminds me of amateur theatre, waiting in the wings to go on. YC could do t…

    Agree completely. One thing is for sure, I Zoom a lot less now! I guess the imperitive to build a strong company remains the same, there is just no substitute for going out into th…

    Thanks so much :-) The pins will definitely do this. I didn't quite manage to get it to work ahead of the video but the idea is each pin is a link back to the message from where it…

    You're so right. They would get hugely annoyed. Plum Mail isn't a messenger really, I mean sure you could use it as such but then you could use email like that too and cause just a…

    All good points. Plum Mail is B2C and HN is a well-informed technical audience it's probably fair to say. We felt we needed something less abstract than just a fruit in the name to…

    Thanks Adontai. Agree on the video. Not made a video like this before! It was a fun experience but there are certainly improvements to be made there. Thank you.

    Yes it could. That's a little way down the road development wise but sure, cool idea. Version 2 of the pins will include links back to the text in the email thread. If you've got 1…

    Nice looking site. Plum Mail just isn't an email client or a shared inbox. We can offer shared inbox functionality in Plum Mail if users would like it but you can also do simpler p…

    Hi again, I answered this one up above too. Free to all (system is open to all) with premium features for a modest fee.

    Agree. A system with none of your friends or colleagues on is pointless because there is no one to talk to. I'll try to be really clear about what Plum Mail is and is not! We haven…

    Thanks for your constructive feedback on the video. We realised yesterday the video says literally nothing interesting until 30 seconds in! Had quite a lot of flak about this lol. …

    Thank you. Keen to agree with the point that email is useful and good at in the right place but groups certainly needs work!

    SMTP is not used under the hood. You can send messages to anyone with an email address. That person may not have accessed Plum Mail before. In that case, the message sent to that p…
