This is a classic product failure. I went to your page and don't know what problem you're solving of mine. I've adopted a zero-inbox policy for the last several years. What problem are you solving?

Not trying to be a d*, just providing feedback, if you changed your landing page to identify the problem you're solving, it would make more sense. If it's a problem I'm unaware of, you need to convince me that this is a problem I should be worried about.

In the 15s I spent on your site, I couldn't figure out what you guys do, other than you're going to do something with my email (my most personal, prized possession on the internet).

Thanks for the feedback, (I don't think you're a d*) and you're basically right. This site, though, isn't actually a product (yet). It's a test, to prove our inbox concept. Like glorified customer research, in a good way.

That being said, maybe we could have been more explanatory. It's hard to know where to land for a "teaser" sort of thing. We'll think of you when we make the "real" product site later. ;)

Thanks again!
