Hello! I'm launching (aka "it's online") an early stage product that I'm building called ReplyBin. It's a functioning product, but pretty bare bones. I'm hoping to get some early feedback on it. You can see and sign up for it here to test it out: https://www.replybin.com/ReplyBin is a web service that allows you to trigger pre-drafted email sequences with an API call. You use your own...

Ask HN: SendGrid Transactional Templates, or no?

Re:Show HN: Get Leads from Sharing Links to 3rd-Party Content on Wednesday September 06, 2017 @11:04PM (#15188886)
Hello HN Community! Our product is in beta and we are hoping to get feedback on it and/or the website. Any feedback is appreciated, positive or negative. The product is currently free. It's targeted at online content marketers who share 3rd-party content.

When content marketers share links to 3rd party content via email newsletters, blogs, or social media, they do not benefit directly from any visits to those links. We provide a way for content marketers to overlay their own custom messages with a button on the content within the links that they are sharing. This provides an opportunity for these marketers to convert the visits to their own sites.

Thanks for reading!
