@lfnovo · CEO, Skore
Hello, everybody. I am the CEO of Skore and we are very excited to launch here on Product Hunt.
Our mission is to help teams organize and amplify their most important asset: knowledge.
We know nobody cares about corporate training anymore. Why would they? Old content, ugly experience, irrelevant contexts. Right? We think most of the problem is the fact that the way we learn has changed fundamentally. Our challenges are new and our questions don't have a solution ready most of the times.
Pick you and your team: how are you learning today? I bet most of it is done through team curation of content. You share the great stuff you find with each other and it's very contextual and relevant because you KNOW each other.
The web has an almost infinite supply of amazing content and we stumble upon it every day. Most teams will share these jewels by email or Slack, which is a total waste. Email is rarely read. Slack is ephemeral, things get lost. What happens if someone joins your company tomorrow? Why can't she get access to the cool stuff your team has been sharing.
This inspired us to create Skore.
Skore is a knowledge sharing platform for teams. Think about us like a Pocket for Teams.
Besides adding any link from the web, you can upload any file (video, pdf) from your computer or even create your own wiki-style notes. You can use a Pinterest-like template for something that is more open and exploratory for the topics you want people to browse through. But you can also use our course template and create a very focused and sequenced learning experience.
All this versatility (of types of content types and templates) turn us into a very powerful solution that has been powering more than 3,000 teams worldwide. From 20-people startups sharing knowledge with each other to multinational retail enterprises training 10,000 sales people.
We are also the same makers of the Paperbot app (www.producthunt.com/posts/paperb...). If you use the Paperbot, let us know and we'll help you connect it with Skore.
Please shoot questions, comments and feedbacks at will! We are here to reply and to learn!

@lfnovo Looks good - just signed up. Quick question, are you going add other methods for sharing content? For example, I run across a link that I'd like to quickly share with a client or friend - someone that we wouldn't necessarily need or want to bring into Skore.

@lfnovo I guess the problem with
"Email is rarely read. Slack is ephemeral, things get lost. "
that in the moment of making a decision to share something most of us resort to default, which is slack/email. How would you change this behaviour? What would make your team to remember about Skore, open it and upload a link every time they want to share and discuss something?
Having a dedicated slack channel for shared links would be simpler, wouldn't it? This solves "ephemeral" problem
Still having a "gallery" of all shared links is very useful, but can be achieved with Slack integration maybe? So everything that is shared is slack and has a meaning will be stored there? Idk how to define meaning, but maybe you can have a bot that is getting smarter over time, like you paste a link and it asks you right away "Store in the gallery?"
What do you think?

@scottwwilliams hi Scott. We are not working on anything like that in the moment.

@restuta you nailed it. Our other product (Paperbot) does that. It grabs slack links and put them in a very nice interface. If most of what your team shares is on slack, it might suffice. Skore does take this a step further. Our spaces offer a level of organization and discovery that a chat will never do. Thx for your questions.

@lfnovo I understand, but you didn't answer on my main point, how would you do that behaviour change that I need to remember and actually share an article in some other tool vs Slack where my conversations are happening

@restuta Great questions you have about how do you change people's behavior when the default currently is to email or Slack or Evernote or what-have-you. Interested to know what Skore plans to do to combat that as well.
I want to point out that if you're on a free Slack plan you don't get the benefit of keeping all those links in a dedicated channel, due to the 10k (I think?) line limit. Sure, it's a big limit, but I think what @lfnovo is trying to do with Skore is make a platform where you're separating reference material from work material and not taking up that valuable Slack space with content that is meant to build and grow your company culture. Kind of like you keep a filing cabinet in your office so you don't keep that paperwork on your desk.

@xtoq @lfnovo well maybe it's what you have described, then it's like having a wiki, "everybody has it, nobody reads it" and all links are still in slack =) (I am on a paid plan and assume most teams are, since it's for teams who do business? :) And I accept this, I am in no position to debate if this is good or bad idea, I was just deducting intent from the statement which has a "story" of how we share links in Slack or Email. For case like you described a better "story" would be to compare it to wiki.

@restuta @xtoq we do have plans for Skore to be much more than a content platform and they focus exactly on the point about changing habits. History is fill of companies that tried to do that and failed. Our goal is for your team to keep doing what they do (slack, email, etc) trusting that Skore will keep the important stuff safe and accessible. We already have plans to launch some amazing things on that front in q1 together with a refreshed UI. Loved your questions.

@restuta I don't know the numbers of the world at large, but most of the Slack teams I'm part of are on the free plan as they are either startups, communities, or other smaller groups. I think that Skore could really help these smaller communities build their knowledge base where other applications fall short or cannot provide the features needed at the cost those smaller groups can afford. I still think your point about changing habits to be a good one, and something that is difficult to both design and implement in my (limited) experience.
