Shipping deadlines? Checkout lines? Traffic? Christmas morning panic? Amateur hour—all of them.

Whether you’re forgetful, inconsiderate, or just plain unorganized, eleventh-hour gifts don’t always demand springing for exorbitant shipping fees or, worse, diving between Target’s sliding doors mere milliseconds before the store closes.

Woke up today with a 100-degree fever & found out Google is now our competitor.

Last week, we started building signwith.co/ - a simple, pay-per-use e-signature tool for people who are struggling with complex e-sign tools.

The plan was to build quietly, run a private beta, get 50 users in 15 days, and then do a launch. Easy peasy.

But since Google dropped into the e-signature space - we needed to talk.

I just released a free demo (no login!) for "Talk to Me Human", a game about social persuasion. You speak out loud to play a variety of conversational challenges, and the NPCs talk back.

I hope you enjoy, and would love to get your feedback!

Also I don't necessarily trust some of my email providers (nor my self hosted one) and soonish have to clear one out because I run out of storage.

So what tools are you using to backup your emails? Is there a service which takes care of this automatically?
