Jell - Keep your team up to date without another meeting

Hey Product Hunt! I'm really excited to show you Jell. We launched the original version of the product about a year ago under the name "Flock", but relaunching today on Product Hunt with a new name and a ton of new functionality. WHAT Jell is an easy way for you to share your plans and progress with your team. It can be a replacement for a daily standup or scrum meeting, or a more comprehensive reporting tool and way to help your company track long-term goals. In addition to the web app, we have apps for iOS and Android, or you can post to Jell completely from Slack. WHY I've long worked on teams where it seemed like we just kept getting out of sync, and the solution clearly wasn't adding more meetings to the calendar or sending more emails (or Slack messages). The first iteration of Jell was a quick way to bring focus to our daily standups, and quickly turned out to be a great way to develop a habit of structured communication to make teams more effective. You can read more of my thoughts about this here: https://jell.com/blog/why-jell/ WHO Jell started as an internal tool at Formstack as a way to help us communicate effectively as a fast-growing remote company. Since then we've spun Jell out into a separate company, and are a team of 3 engineers and designers working on it full-time. I'm eager to hear your thoughts and questions, and hope a few of you find Jell useful to your team. Thanks!

I love this. We've been doing something similar using a slack channel but I feel like we're outgrowing it. I'll have to give this a try!

Our team at Ebates has been using Jell for some time now and it's been solid at keeping our team with a few remote workers in sync. When we couldn't make Skype/synchronous standups work due to time differences we tried daily emails, on top of plenty of JIRA updates but that still wouldn't cut it. Right now Jell reminders and digests keep the team on the same page and if someone misses an update a little bit of shaming in our hipchat channel goes a long way :) Important part is starting to leave a bit of feedback and comments on other peoples items, that gets folks a bit more invested in posting updates. Nice work @ade New domain is sweet!

Been using it at MadKudu for a month. Love that it forces you to take 5 minutes to plan your day and work on what's important. The Slack integration is killer. We still need to figure out how best to integrate it with the rest of the workflow (Asana, Github) though.

Other than the name change, what changed from the Flock era?

We do very religious standups everyday and we are a team of 100 people. One problem this product solves is -- the sticky-note mess. We loose things, replace things here and there. Not sure you mention that pain in your content. Nevertheless, your product addresses the very exact problem. I am going to use the free plan and see how it is better than using JIRA's Agile Board (as some folks are already advocating it)

So excited to share this with my teams!!!!

As a Sales Director, I think it will be a great solution to the not so great internal Salesforce tools. Will give it a go!

We've been using Jell at Workfrom and love the integration with Slack! It's so slick - post your update in Jell and boom! everyone sees it in Slack. The daily summaries are great, too, especially when I'm traveling or am otherwise "offline" and not hanging out in the chats.

This may very well meet my need of a fully integrated task management system within Slack, on top of a great goal-tracking app! Giving this a try starting this week.
