Love the minimalist approach - but not for business use. I use MixMax ( https://mixmax.com/ ) every day and the additional functionality its provided has been a big deal for me. More is more in a business use-case I think.

Mixmax | Web or Cloud Engineer | San Francisco | https://mixmax.com We're a growing, tight-knit team looking for a full-stack engineer. Mixmax’s mission is to do the impossible with email. We believe everything you do today on the web should be possible in any email. We launched a Gmail plugin earlier this year that brings apps (interactive content and workflows) to Gmail and it's been a huge success. Here's our Twitter wall of love - https://twitter.com/MixmaxHQ/timelines/560278179810533376 - and we recently won at Launch Festival (http://www.launchfestival.com/). Already thousands of customers depend on us for their daily productivity. We have an A++ list of investors that previously backed companies like Twitter, Heroku, Lyft & Square. We’re an incredibly mission-driven, diverse and fun-loving team. We value personal and professional growth equally and have built multi-million dollar products together in the past. We're based in downtown SF. Stack: Node.js, Express, Meteor, Redis, Mongo, Handlebars, AWS Check us out at mixmax.com.

I'm using something called MixMax (https://mixmax.com/) It has a lot of bells and whistles, but I use it only for scheduling meetings over email.

This sounded interesting, but turns out it's just the screenshot from their homepage [0] [0] https://mixmax.com/

Yes! I learned of Mixmax (https://mixmax.com) in a Who's Hiring post from last fall, interned with them from January to August of this year, and am returning early next year after I graduate. We're still hiring like crazy :).

Hey, https://mixmax.com/ has scheduling. http://www.boomeranggmail.com/ has it as a main feature. Also http://www.getsidekick.com/ will add it soon. If in doubt, check: https://zen.market/?q=schedule%20emails

Mixmax seems to be doing well with a Chrome extension for Gmail. Not sure if they're profitable though. https://mixmax.com/ (I found out about them because they use Meteor.js and blog about it)

Yeah sorry I had a brain fart and was thinking of stable pagination w/ compound sort+filter. It doesn't matter if id is UUID, sigh. Where date > y or (date eq y and id > x) order by date, id This can't be completely fulfilled by an index. It'll have to sort/merge somevresults in memory, very CPU expensive.

What do you guys think of Mixmax? Heard of people liking their service for making appointments within Gmail, and e.g. receiving read receipts. From their privacy policy: > [...] Mixmax may securely access or store your name, your Gmail email address, your Gmail emails and other conversations, and your Gmail contact list [...] We may anonymize your Personal Information so that you are not individually identified, and provide that information to our partners. https://mixmax.com/privacy.html https://mixpanel.com/privacy/
