It is well designed and I like what you have built. Maybe a couple of reasons why this hasn't taken off. 1. You need to install something. I personally try not to install…
periferral on HNIt's nice and simple. I'm definitely going to use this. Only suggestions I have: - When I've sent a link to someone and go back to it later, it would be nice to see who I sent it…

Objections

StavrosK, I hope that you've posted this looking for some feedback, because after seeing your site I really wanted to give you some constructive criticism. If you want more…
jason_tko on HNWhy not just call it a bookmarklet, and explain what a bookmarklet is? "Browser button" is really vague, and most users, including those who know what bookmarklets are, won't…

Recipients may worry about spam from third-party emails.

If my friends see I used a third-party tool to email them, they might be concerned that I'm signing them up for spam. I have to trust that the email sent won't misrepresent me in…
