Nifty start. The need for a hosted service like this is more for secure apps where third-party services may have some privacy implications.

I think the default UI needs a little more work. Intercom also lets you email users based on certain triggers, is there an email integration that you are building towards?

Edit: Just curious, what made you code the server in Go?

Thats a good point re: secure apps/third party services. we also wanted to run a hosted service for the lazy who may not want to bother learning how to run each of the pieces ;)

Thanks for the feedback too, in complete honesty, it was a combination of we were interested in the language, and overheard it was good with concurrency... that was enough for us to give it a shot.

Edit: Also apologies for not answering your question re: email integration, its going to be one of the first major integrations we do!
