It seems you have fullstory.com tracking all input & mouse events. Can you confirm? Every few seconds, a large payload goes to fullstory with all details: 47: {When: 397746, Kind: 2, Args: [8881, -1, [[4405, 2], "cell day blank"]]} 63: {When: 397746, Kind: 2, Args: [8881, -1, [[4405, 2], "cell day", [93, 2], "15", 96]]} 71: {When: 397746, Kind: 2, Args: [8881, -1, [[4405, 2], "cell day", [93, 2], "23", 96]]} 72: {Whe…

How would any website or application these days work _without_ full-blown analytics tracking the hell out of every user?

Wow, this sounds an awful lot like the exact app I want. Was thinking about how to build it, but wasn't sure what services could be integrated. Tell me if does this: - Connects with FB, WhatsApp, Messenger, LinkedIn, and Gmail - Checks the message history for each person - Optionally coalesce users based on simple heuristics (similar name) - Give you a list of people according to last contact - Tells you the my turn…

I would really like for the version of the product to move towards something like this -- a big struggle with relationship management now is some degree of fragmentation. Some of the integrations you mention (FB/WhatsApp/Messenger/LI) are hard to do since these companies don't expose API access (and we'd have to ask for user credentials, which aren't always straightforward!). I'm very curious -- would you be open to…

I've used this, and HotJar, to see if users are having problems using a site. They are mostly usability tools, not keyloggers sending your data to the KGB.

I signed up and tried to skip adding a Gmail account but it wouldn't allow me. I really don't want to just dump all contacts into an app like this because I don't really use Gmail as my contact repository and there might be stuff in there I just don't want to see. I might trigger myself. And I would rather give it a spin before committing a load of my real info. I instead used an alt which doesn't get much use. No co…

Great project. I don't see privacy being mentioned in your message nor on the website, that + the comment about the extension's permissions are a big no for me. It's 2019, I would expect such info to be given when reaching to the HN audience. We know you need to make money, the website doesn't say how, the logical assumption is that we're giving data to pay you and personally I like to know how much I have to pay bef…
