Rapportive clone fills void left by LinkedIn

No privacy policy? No details about how it works (without reviewing the source)? No ToS or licensing info?

Honestly I would just be happy with an extension that uses local storage to store notes on a per-contact basis like Rapportive used to. I don't need any other fancy features and don't want to worry about a privacy policy/ToS.

I've done: 1) Install extension 2) Allow permissions 3) Restart Chrome 4) Resign-in in Gmail

Doesn't seem to work for me. :/

I installed, logged out of Gmail, restarted my browser and re-logged in.

You also need to click on the actual e-mail address in the e-mail for it to popup, definitely nowhere near as elegant as rapportive and seems to work ~60-70% of the time

Be careful. This appears to be sending the result of every Rapportive API call to 104.131.218.68

That's skeevy, beyond using the Rapportive API.

The void is simply that you can't store notes anymore, right?

I recently downloaded all my Rapportive notes to find I had only used the feature once.

The void is that Rapportive was neutered to only show linkedin instead of a contact's full set of social services.

Wow, good work. Did you get this out the door in 24 hours or was is brewing for a while?

[welder]

I didn't make it, I'm just the op.

[jayzalowitz]

How does this work?

[welder]

Looks like it uses the same api as Rapportive based on the permissions it asks for when installing.

Install, open Gmail
