[Beta Testers needed!] Can your inbox be more than just to read emails?

Hi fellow IHs,

Me and my team have been working on DragApp (https://dragapp.com).

We want to build the best Shared Inbox in Gmail, so that teams in small businesses can collaborate and manage different workflows (e.g. emails, tasks, customer service) right from inside Gmail.

As a small business, we see ourselves forced to move back and forth across Trellos, Zendesks, Pipedrives and lots of different tools to get things done, which is not very effective. There must be a way to stay in our Inbox. That's why Drag was born.

We have a Beta version live and are looking for passionate Beta Testers to help us build the best product we can :)

Anyone interested in being part of it? Happy to answer any questions you may have.

Thanks in advance!

    Looks interesting. I've seen more of these projects launch, eg kanbanmail etc. How do you stand out? I'd love to give it a spin, especially since inbox was announced eol.

      Thanks, Daniel! About your questions:

      • We are in Gmail, so the place people are familiar with (it means you keep your Gmail settings, rules, etc. It's less intrusive);
      • We are shared. Not only for individual organization;
      • We have multiple kanban boards for different workflows.

      Does it make sense?

      Thanks!

        Yes. So signing up is all I need to do to join the beta?

        O jeez, $ 49 per month! Nope, nope. Too steep for me. So this is an ad? Not a request for beta testers.

          Noooo it's not an ad at all! We just want to make sure we get the right people to provide highest quality feedback we can have. Thought the IH community would be a good source for that.

          Because the tool is for teams, this is a symbolic amount as the price never changes and is for unlimited users (team of 10 = $5 / month, and so on).

          1. 2

            Yes but your initial post actually mentions you're looking for "passionate Beta Testers to help us build the best product we can". You hide the fact that beta "testing" still costs a whopping $ 49,-- a month. This might not be much for large teams, but small teams or IndieHackers might not look at it like that.

            Also a team of 10 still pays $ 49,- a month as a team. You can downplay this any way you want, but I would first look at adoption not shady ad postings.

            I'm normally not this pessimistic, but I felt played thinking I could finally look at a decent Inbox alternative and then seeing a "beta offer" which is still a huge hit to any starting Indie Hacker. Am I that naive? Is this the level dragapp is playing at?

            Btw I just now noticed the link to the Drag Solo plan, why not openly advertise it?

            On another note, how real are the testimonials on the home page. Oh wow, you took this template https://mediostic.com/homepages/home-landing-6/.

            Good luck with this.
