Things that have pissed me off about sendgrid so far
1. Pricing page does not actually say you're being charged per month. I assumed, but still.
2. Signup page asks for pointlessly unnecessary details. What do you care what my address is?
3. Signup page asks for a Username (in email format). What is that? WHAT IS THAT? HOW DID IT GET PAST YOUR UI QA?
4. After signing up, I received no less than 3 emails. A registration confirmation, an automatic payment notification, and a payment confirmation. Buried in one of these is a link I have to click to confirm my email address works, but nowhere on the dashboard does it say that (I clicked around on the dash for ages before I looked at my email)
5. When I clicked the link to confirm my email address works, the only message I got was "You have already logged in"
6. All the documentation is in a vanilla mediawiki. Seriously unprofessional.
7. The issues system is a third-party provider, that requires that I log in all over again. Tell me, how are you going to figure out which real account my twitter account relates to so you can check my problem?
8. The "Add Newsletter" wizard goes into a loop.
9. The Apps page is completely broken, presumably until I'm provisioned.
10. Apparently, despite saying nothing about that anywhere that I immediately read, my account has to be manually reviewed and approved. During this process, it tells me I'm still being provisioned. We're going on half an hour now, I'm already bored enough to write this list.
zzzzzz
