Products that do what Flat – a minimalist teamwork app that protects focus (live demo) does
Hi HN! We're Seth, Andrew, & Marcin. After a decade of wanting a simple, lightweight teamwork tool and not finding one, we decided to build one ourselves. We’re calling it Flat, and we have two main goals: 1. Everyone can figure it out in just a few minutes, from the intern to the zero-patience CEO. 2. It doesn’t create extra work for anybody.

If you check out the demo, please let us know how you think we’re doing on these goals and where we could do better. (Mobile…

Trello is close, but we find it really frustrating to use in lots of ways. And most everything else is way too complex. We think there’s a…

Hi HN! I'm Kam, the founder and one of the authors of Linen. Today, we are launching Linen.team (https://linen.team/), a lightweight threaded messaging app for your team. Modern workplace messaging apps (like Slack) are based on IRC, which is great for small groups, but as it scales, breaks down quickly: you either get overwhelmed by notifications or you have to turn them all off.
