Today we officially close down our waitlist. There’s now a beautifully pink “Sign Up” option on the Jelly homepage. Any team can create an account, start a free trial, and pay us for the peace of mind it provides. Importantly, we’re also not charging per-seat — your whole team is invited when you purchase a Jelly subscription. We’re obviously very excited about this milestone!
clap2.gif471 KB The idea for Jelly started at the end of last year. At that point we, Good Enough, had a few great products under our belt, including Album Whale, Letterbird, Yay.Boo!, and the imminently popular blogging platform Pika. All these products came with customers and people who wanted to talk with us, ask questions, get some help, be our friend, etc… so we started getting a lot more emails than we were expecting.
Those emails came with friction for our team of 6 while we were just sharing a login to a Fastmail inbox: Who was answering what? Did so-and-so see this yet? Why has this message not been archived? Am I going to step on someone’s toes if I reply now? We all found ourselves constantly “Mark as unread”-ing messages out of uncertainty.
We looked for solutions on the market where a small team can collaborate on email together, and were surprised at (1) just how complex all those systems were, and (2) how much their per-seat pricing would cost us. We didn’t need a knowledge-base, or a chatbot, or an AI doing all our support. We just wanted a simple email app.
So in February we spent a month prototyping our solution, and we’ve been using it for real ever since. Eight months later, now you can use Jelly too! It’s been a real game-changer for our team, and we hope it will be for yours too. Give it a try!

P.S. We have a lot planned for Jelly; this is just day one 😎
