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.

Thank you!

I completely agree with this - those flashing lights, music and big reveal is all optimised for a dopamine hit. It feels pretty manipulative.

Interesting to note that the average founder age is 30.27 (median is 29). Not that that's old, of course - just that I imagined it'd be younger.

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).

Thanks - I agree with you, and you're right, finding an elegant headline is tricky. I'll keep thinking.

Thanks - it's built with Ruby on Rails, and it probably took around 5-6 months, working off and on on it alongside client work.

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).
