It started as a side-project that grew organically thorough word of mouth. When we realized the huge potential, we decided to turn this into a venture-backed project and applied to YC. The rest is history :)
Second, we want to develop tighter integrations with various applications. In another thread we discussed how a Text Blaze snippet could automatically include the name of the person you are replying to in Gmail. This works, but it very technical currently. We want to build higher-level advanced integrations for all the common sites our users use to make this much easier (Gmail, Google Spreadsheets, Airtable, Monday.com, LinkedIn, Salesforce, Intercom, etc...).
