Curious, was this increased productivity sustained? If so, for how long?

Unfortunately whenever I import my Open-API spec to Theneo I get a success message, but it never becomes a usable collection.
Can you help me out?

I think the issue you don’t see “pop up” competitors is the inability to market “great support” empirically. There is a lemon market comment somewhere that is dead on. You can have all the high cost experts on staff but Everyone is going to think your marketing is full of it until they try your services or are referred via word of mouth.
Yes, you need to remove permissions. That is absolutely imperative. Do you delete the data after uninstall?
Perhaps give an option checkbox in your initial walkthrough of the app to allow the footer only on emails using EasyEmail.
I retracted #4. The first email I got after the loading robot screen made me think the "learning" was complete. I got an email much later saying it was complete. The UX confused me. Perhaps instead of popping up generic message before the learning is done, you can show a message, still analyzing data. So I cannot in good faith comment on the suggestion quality.
Black mirror is same vein, but different concept:
Getting loans, buying cars, via a single reputation score is different than giving people a tool to curate the content they wish to consume.
By having access to a "user's reputational history" across multiple sites, you can see where their reputation is coming from. Then you as a consumer of internet media, can choose what site reputation to put value on. Letting you curate and avoid toxicity, or live in your echo chamber if thats what you want.
Its like asking a couple friends if they'd loan their weed wacker to the new guy down the street, they say he acts kind of shady but has always brought back their garden tools. Same thing. You ask users of a couple sites how this other user has acted. They say he made some jokes, but also had some valid points here and there.
We don't then say, oh they made crude jokes, charge them an extra $1000 for rent.
An accounts "history" and "reputation" will be tied to each site. A liberal who posts regularly on echo chambers on both sides of the aisle will have a middle of the road reputation. On Fox news for example you'd see next to their comments:
FoxNews.com Rep: -123 Global Rep: 38
A high global rep is due to the high score posting comments on WashingtonPost articles. Where you would see:
WashPost.com Rep: 161 Global Rep: 38
I'd expect someone with a reputation of 0 to be an honest individual gaining views on both sides of an argument. Someone with a global rep of -1833 is probably a troll or someone who doesn't interact with "like-minded" people, which could of course be seen by looking at the history of where the reputation came from.
You as a consumer, would most likely flag site reps to show on all pages, so maybe you on every site you visit would see a users reputation like so regardless of the site you are on:
Current Site Rep: 3 FoxNews.com Rep: 283 WashPost.com Rep: -87 Global Rep: 221
And you could, of course, dig into their history of reputation, and even Hide/star particular users who you notice are trolls/note-worthy to you personally.
So for point 1: I'd say let "no reputation" sites attract customers. If people want to participate in completely anonymous groups they are responsible for the groups they choose and the opinions in them. Good on them.
But for the rest of the people who lack the awareness, knowledge, or motivation to seek out these communities, we have a responsibility to find a way to make non-anonymous communication less toxic.
For point 2: Knowing the reputation of a user for the site you are visiting as well as their global reputation helps the reader make a more informed decision about the worth of this person's comments to them than without. Lets use politics. Assume a user with liberal tendencies argues intelligently with conservatives in Fox News comments where his comments are downvoted because they are diverging. They also comment thoughtfully on r/SandersForPresident where his views are appreciated and upvoted. When I see this persons comments on Fox, I will see his fox new's score is -128 and his overall score is 3. A troll on the other hand may have a -348 on Fox news and -828 overall. From this I can conclude conservatives don't like the first user, but some other people do like the first user. I can also conclude the second user is a troll, or doesn't ever participate in groups that share somewhat similar viewpoint. All of which you can see in their history, where their scores for various sites are listed, perhaps you could even bookmark scores for specific sites you want to see. Of course, this is binary, and can be improved with dimensionality, but is still better than nothing at all.
For point 3: Hell, what is someone hacks your bank account? I think a bigger concern would be someone automating downvoting of your account or upvoting of their own. Which would require more thought.
1. The link to the privacy policy comes AFTER you take all my data. 2. If I uninstall your extension you have it programmed to give me an exit survey, but it doesn't prompt me to revoke access for your app from my account? So you can continue to read all my communications. At the very least tell me how to remove it when I uninstall your extension, or fill out your exit survey. Don't just hide the fact that you retain access indefinitely. 3. You are appending your marketing to the bottom of every email regardless if it used your product or not. Thats crap, I don't want to spam every single person I communicate with. Let me opt in, or only append when your plugin is used.
I get its a prototype, I get the "potential", but it seems you put 0 critical thought into making the app safe.
1. The reputation system is affected by voting on all sites in which you participate.
2. The history of your participation across sites is viewable in your history (ala reddit, HN)
3. Your reputation is displayed with you participation wherever you participate.
Sites could then put reputation limits only allowing users above a certain reputation to participate. Making the cost of toxicity increase.
The biggest problem would be getting the walled gardens to adopt the system.
If Rolex company manufactures a new collectable Rolex and gives it away to someone who already owns another collectable watch, this does not mean that both watches now have half the value of the original.
Furthermore, if I produce 1000 knockoffs of the original luxury watch and give it away to the Rolex owner, it does not reduce the value of the luxury watch either.
In fact, the value of the 1000 knockoffs plus the luxury watch is higher than the value of just the luxury watch alone.
There is still a scarcity of luxury watches, as well as demand for ownership of both the luxury item and the knockoffs.
As long as more individuals wish to purchase said commodities with fiat the commodities have value, regardless of if they are given away or not.
I typically charged a couple hundred bucks so that they would have "skin in the game". 100% of the people, I or someone else funding, failed to finish the course. Having skin in the game is absolutely critical to their success.
In this case, it seems they have nothing to lose, and I suspect if they are willing to beg you for cash, they would have no problem going elsewhere.
I suggest some sort of deal where he has to put something in other than "time and effort". Perhaps have him "pay" you in other ways, such as chores around your house. Mowing the lawn, etc.
