> Sorry to be so mysterious about what Stacy is, it's not on purpose! The site's barely a few days old because we just landed an interview with the Ycombinator startup incubator for their summer 2011 session.
This doesn't inspire confidence that you are going to launch any time soon
Funny story - we've been focused on other related projects this summer because we launched part of the underlying tech as an API (called EmailYak) just to get it out of the way so we could start prepping for the YC interview. Meanwhile, unbeknownst to us, it was getting paid customers and we probably interviewed for the wrong thing! It's even had an acquisition offer. Craziness.
Now we're circling back around to building several apps on top of the API (including Stacy) to show what it can really do. Here's a few sneak previews:

Thanks for catching that text!

Now we're circling back around to building several apps on top of the API (including Stacy) to show what it can really do. Here's a few sneak previews:
* GitDash - instant mailing lists for GitHub collaborators - http://alabut.com/projects/gitdash/
* Messagify - it's like a private Disqus. Or something. More like Facebook Messages or Twitter DMs, actually. http://messagify.com
The new EmailYak site will also have a bunch more documentation and blog posts describing all kinds of use cases for receiving email:

Sorry for all the plugging, we're just pumped about turning in our YC applications in a few days.
