Feature request: support Google Contacts/Voice #38

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. (this isn't a bug, it's a feature request :)

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I'd love to be able to search my Google Contacts from Spotlight. Even though I 
can already a) 
sync my Google and Mac Address Book contacts and b) search the local Address 
Book with 
Spotlight, I'd rather my landing page be the contact's info page in Google 
Voice instead of 
Address Book - Voice has all the hot stuff, like call/sms links, etc.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
1.0.5 / Snow Leopard

Thanks!
-Eric

First, I don't see any way to open directly to a specific contact in any web
interface. Second, opening to the embedded Voice interface for contacts wouldn't
really make sense, given that the vast majority of people don't have Voice 
accounts
(and even if they do it's not clear why that would be a more appropriate choice 
than,
say Gmail); the dedicated contacts UI at http://www.google.com/contacts would 
be the
more likely landing page.

Given that, I don't see any value Precipitate could add here over doing your 
a+b.
Since my goal for Precipitate is to fill in gaps, rather than re-invent wheels, 
this
falls into the same WontFix category as Gmail and Calendar.
