Great, looks interesting.

Now for pete's sake, put a link to your service on your blog.

Agreed! I loved the post and I think I'll really enjoy the service, but had to go looking for the link to the actual service. (It didn't really help the menu is hidden). Just add a link in the first sentence. That's the first place I'm looking for links. Nice work overall guys!!!

I added a link on the word "Streak" in the first sentence. Thanks for the advice.

We will look into adding a link on the side of the blog as well so it is always there.

Excellent, thanks. That's exactly where I would expect to click!

This could be a timesaver overall, but looks like too much work upfront, which only some highly organised people might use. Are you pivoting Streak from a sales CRM to a general purpose productivity tool?

Actually we're expanding our scope. We found a lot of users were using us for more than just CRM. Bug tracking, product dev, todo lists, hiring, fundraising, etc. all make sense within the context fo your inbox.

We have several templates to reduce workload upfront (we dont have one for apartment hunting yet) but if you have any ideas on removing the friction, let us know

You know what? Ignore my comment above. I'm not even looking for an apartment right now, so my opinion doesn't matter.

Good luck with your scope expansion!

Looks pretty cool but shimming into gmail that way makes me super nervous.

The side menu thing on that site makes the scroll bar completely unusable.

Ya, blogger has a bunch of issues. We'll probably have to move away from it if they don't fix them soon.

Also it is a blank page if you do not have Javascript.

In our defense, if you don't have javascript Streak won't work.

a blank page even after enabling javascript on every host - google, googleapis, blogger, blogblog, streak - suspect cookies are required on some of the hosts too
