So... you just happened to hear about this new chat app and you just happened to post literally the longest sales pitch I ever read on Hacker News, and I mean longer by an order of magnitude? Mind disclosing your relationship with these folks on whom you are lavishing all your attention?

Expensify's CEO really does send out these exceptionally long and conversational marketing emails, apparently to anyone who ever used (or was required to use) their app. It's a somewhat charming approach in its own way, but the emails were quite frequent and not always that interesting so I unsubscribed.

However: because Expensify does have that habit, I don't think it's unreasonable that the poster just happened to receive this marketing email.

I'm a customer which is why I got the email. I posted it because I think it's a pretty fascinating and unusual product announcement from a fairly well-known startup, and the way it's written (and its length) is a big part of that.

I could've summarized the claims, but I don't think that would've done it justice haha.
