    Struct▲329

    Hi HN! I’m Jason, a product designer at Struct Chat. At Struct, we're frustrated by the clutter, distractions, and inefficiencies plaguing existing chat platforms like Slack and Discord. We've built a radical new chat platform that leverages threads, feeds, and AI to help alleviate these problems, and give you back more time in your day. Struct uses a thread-first approach to keep conversations on-topic. It applies AI-generated titles and summaries to help you decide what's worth your attention. Threads are then organized in a real-time feed, keeping all your conversations up-to-date and at…

    HERO▲382

    Hey HN! I’m Kevin, the founder of HERO. Thank you so much for checking out our launch today. We built HERO because serious work deserves better tools than paper-based documents built with word processors built in the 90s. If your team works on contracts, policies, SOPs, technical specs, or any structured, formal documents, you know the pain: - information buried across multiple files, sections, exhibits, etc. - repeated copy-pasting - outdated definitions - impossible cross-referencing - version chaos - hours wasted searching for the right clause, number, term, or page HERO solves this by…

    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. Most chat apps have threads tacked on but aren't built from the ground up with this design in mind. We wanted to create a thread-first experience where you can organize and prioritize conversations…

    We built Sortabase to let communities collaborate on visual databases of the things they know and care about. The fields of each database are defined by its moderators using a no-code drag-n-drop interface, and the resulting database is easy to search, filter, sort, and contribute to. The platform is 100% free to use - take a look, and feedback is appreciated!
