Bookmarklet for Exporting Email Activity to CSV
253 days ago by Brandon West
Brett Zink at yottaflow has created an awesome bookmarklet that allows you to export your email activity results to a CSV file.
Use the search bar to filter the data however you want, and then click on your new Bookmarklet.
The Bookmarklet opens in a new window with all the data reformatted into CSV.
The first time you use it you’ll probably get stopped by your pop-up blocker. Just allow pop-ups from sendgrid.com and try again.
This is a handy tool for getting your results into Excel. Our development team is working on adding an export to the Email Activity page but in the meantime this is fantastic. Thanks Brett!

TheBirdy.com: using email for personal finance management
264 days ago by Tim Falls
A few weeks ago, Brandon and I went to New York City for Startup Weekend. I had stopped by the previous SW NYC when I was there for Internet Week and API Hackday, and I was instantly impressed. I’ve been to a few Startup Weekends in Boulder and Denver, but never had I seen a crowd this large. Nor had I witnessed the level of energy that was in the General Assembly office that Friday evening.
As I walked out of the event that night, I decided we would definitely be back for the next SW in the city.
It was a good decision. Not only did we get to chill at the GA digs for a good chunk of Fri/Sat/Sun, but we worked with closely with a number of teams: Brandon rocked some code, we had some great discussions on app infrastructure, I mentored some pitch practice sessions, and, above all, we met a bunch of awesome people.
Corey Maass is one of those awesome people. And below is a story that he told us, which we thought would be fun to share with the rest of our community.
