This looks great, congratulations.

1) Do you have any plans to allow arbitrary RSS as notifications, or integrating with ITTT? This could allow people to create notifications for services that you don't support.

2) While I don't believe everything has to be monetized, I was wondering if you do have a plan to make money, and if you do, would you mind sharing?

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Heaven forbid we have to actually _use_ a server.

I'll provide the server, you provide the client. deal ?

Looks pretty amazing so far. I've gone through a couple Google mail extensions, and using Chrome for Linux and Chromium for Linux with my google sync setup, I've had trouble finding one that works properly.

This seems to work great for Chromium on Ubuntu.

Thanks and great questions!

1. We're currently looking at creative options to support personalized notifications. One possibility is something similar to what Rapportive did and provide sites with a way to deliver notifications.

2. We honestly did this because it was a need we had. We're looking at a number of strategies. The most likely is a set of premium features for a one-time fee. That said, we might just leave it free too.

Thanks! The three of us working on it are all using different platforms and we've had awesome beta users who have helped us out a lot!
