I know a bit of Japanese and it didn't strike me at all. Is it just the "baka"? :-)

#32Why the name? To those who know a little bit of Japanese, the name is rather amusing.
What would it mean in Japanese? If you know a little bit of Chinese as well, you could read it as 我 + ばか – meaning something like "I'm an idiot", perhaps. :)
But then again, I guess an amusing meaning can be found for any word if you allow interpreting its parts in different languages.

#33A while ago I used Hubspot CRM for a bit. I think it's slow and quirky, and to me it's a big red flag how hard they make it to get the data out (or, well, 2 years ago at least). But Hubspot gets one thing right that I never understood other CRMs can't do. If Hubspot sees an email from name@company.com, they automatically make a new contact for that name, and a new organization for that company (derived from the @comp…

Thank you for taking the time to write this :)!
I populate some things based on the domain but not all that you mention. I like these little smartness things and I want to do this. It's one of the things I'm going to try to make this autumn :).

#35On your sign up page, this one sentence isn't quite clear to me. - "That's a total, no matter how many people your are."

Backend is Clojure, frontend is ClojureScript :).

#39> We believe in a different type of CRM
Marketing page doesn't convince me that it's a different CRM. Lists usual stuff. Actually quite lacking if the business cannot apply their customizations/business rules/validations/workflows.

#40I really like the site. How did you come up with 7 days as a trial period? Seems like it may take longer than a week for someone to really see the value. I could be totally wrong though.
I just picked a number. I want to offer a way to try it for free. However, My focus is to provide the best possible experience and support for paying customers, and I can't really do that if I'm supporting free users. If you need more time to evaluate, I can extend your trial :).
I agree 7 days is not enough to see the value.
It is important to make the investment on your trial users and early adopters.
