Why would you charge a drunk CEO less?



Nobody’s buying at $1000/month but “giving them half off” makes them think they’re getting a deal.

What they don’t know is they could just have a file on their computer named “is this offensive (open when drunk).txt” with contents that read “yes”.


I have fond memories of Gmail's "no emailing drunk" feature and I swear it saved me a couple times.

I think it no longer works, or, well, I grew up.


Mail Goggles - apparently released in 2008[0]. I can't find it, so I don't think it exists anymore.

Um… there are liters lawyers and PR professionals that make their living with that kind of service. And for a certain personality type… I don’t see the 1k$/month being the relevant factor. I’d bet there would be buyers for that service. Though: Probably not enough to actually sustain the liability insurance that you’d need to deal with the complaints of a faulty product


It's OK. If the client tries to write a nasty tweet about you, or email a lawyer about you, it will "help" the client, by telling them this is offensive and blocking the action.

Doubly so if you try to uninstall it.


You sound extremely business savvy, looking for business partners?


Right? That's where you make the revenue in your freemium pricing model.
