This is really great - refreshing to have something that's instantly useful, with no need to signup/login. Really fast, immediately helpful - this is wonderful.
After installing the extension, open the extensions menu, find it and click "Inspect views: background page", then check the JS file that it references.
Submarine has a slightly different approach to Highrise - it focuses on minimising data entry, so emails with a contact are automatically stored without having to remember to bcc the app. Similarly, it also auto-archives conversations you have with contacts over Twitter, which I don't think Highrise does.
It's got quite a big focus on search too, so you can run reasonably complex searches like "journalist twitter followers > 2000 covered:yes last emailed more than (1 year ago)", which will show you (as you might expect) all the journalists that have more than 2000 twitter followers, who've previously written about you but that you haven't spoken to over email in more than a year. There are other commands too, and I'm planning on adding more over time.
Finally, I think the Chrome extension is pretty cool - the image on the homepage does a better job of showing it than I can explain, but it gives you a little button in Chrome that, when clicked, pops up with a contact's details if you're on their website (or Twitter, Facebook, Linkedin etc profile).
Hi HN - I've just shipped the first iteration of Submarine, a CRM that's built to store all your team's marketing contacts. It auto-archives conversations over email and Twitter, and has a Chrome extension that brings up contact data if you're on a contact's website (or Twitter, Facebook, Linkedin, G+ or Pinterest page).
I'd love some feedback on the landing page, and on the app itself (there's a free 30 day trial, and you don't need a credit card to try it out).
Noted, thanks for the headsup - I'll look into that and fix it. I've not spent much time yet making it responsive, so haven't done much iOS testing, but I will.
According to In The Plex, that deal was actually very close to going through up until that moment. Excite's VCs pushed to get the new CEO on board at some point during the negotiations with Google (and up until that point, Excite's engineer-led founding team had the most control). Strange to think how different things might be if that deal had gone through.
I've been using Atom as my main editor since the beta rolled out. I love it - it has the (very) occasional quirks and glitches which you have to forgive as it's in beta, but once you get used to navigating around, it's really fast and fun to use.
