IH Feature Request: DM Users

Hey IH, I have a request...could we be able to DM or email users?

I wanted to DM @jason_o about his post on graphic design for apps but found that wasn't possible! Could there be a feature where a user could DM another user?

    It's (relatively high) on my to-do list!

      @csallen Is sort by newest coming too? It's hard to check all the new ones with current algorithm, also follow threads would be nice too. Thank you!

      Do you have more engineering resources after the Stripe acquisition or is that also on your todo list? :)

      While considering this feature, something to think about is how to ensure IHers don’t end up getting spammed by folks who want to sell to people belonging to the IH demographic. Undoubtedly, we are an attractive group to sell to because we are willing to spend money online for tools and other sort of thing to run our business. Just a thought.

      Thanks man.

    Very useful, since leaving your email address on your profile isn't ideal for everyone.

      Yeah... I'm pretty careful about exposing my email address. I've been protective of my primary against spammers. The result? Email bliss since I started the account.

    You can put your email on your profile (obviously, use one you don't mind being in public).

    This would be a great feature. Luckily IH has the twitter handle button on profiles. I reached out to @Alexw for a Stripe integration question and it was super helpful.

    To be able to go one step past the comments and actually jam on some code/design would be really cool.

      Totally agree. Some stuff doesn't really fit in a comment.
