Team collaboration software

GC works inside and across all the apps you use at work to find comments that need your attention, magically create a “single source of truth” for each project you’re working on, and helps you easily keep up with your teammates to see what they’re working on.

Hey Product Hunt! Danny here. I'm a maker at heart, constantly seeking elegant solutions to challenging problems. General Collaboration (we call it GC for short) is our answer to a challenge that's plagued teams for years. While I love dedicated tools like Figma for design and GDrive for document creation and file sharing, let's face it – their comment systems are often an afterthought. GC steps in where these giants step back, offering a dedicated home for the conversations that drive projects forward. Since bringing GC into my daily workflow, Email alerts? Muted. Push notifications? A thing of the past. Now, there's just one place to check for updates, and it's been a game-changer for my focus and productivity. Want to nerd out about how we built GC and how it's reshaping collaborating across all these platforms? Shoot me a question, I'm all ears

Hey Product Hunt! I helped lead design for the latest iteration of GC. As a designer, this was a dream project: How often do you get to work on a tool that you actually use? And when I say use, I mean multiple times a day, an instant switch from “this problem frustrates me” to “I cannot do my work as effectively without it.” Here’s the story: Last spring I got a message from Elliott. He had seen my LinkedIn, thought I might find value in the tool he was building, and asked if I would beta test. I downloaded GC and immediately everything changed. I run a small studio with two other designers in SF; every morning I see comments come in from Linear, Notion, Google Drive, and Figma… So many Figma comments. With GC I have a tidy home to triage all of the conversations. In the first few days I noticed that I replied quicker, unblocked my team more effectively, and felt a significant reduction in stress about the state of our projects. But there were things I wanted to be tweaked or changed to make it even better. So I started a google doc and proceeded to give Elliott a weekly write-up with ideas for how GC could be more effectively tuned for the problems I faced. After a few weeks, Elliott reached out to ask if we had availability to work alongside his team on the tool. We spent the summer building and launching GC as a Mac App. The latest edition is faster, more powerful, and exactly the kind of daily driver I need to keep my projects rolling along. I am not joking when I say my life would be worse without this app. In the coming iterations we’ll be taking the application further. We see GC as the connecting thread between all of the tools we use, it’s helpful today but has the potential to revolutionize how we work. Give it a try, reach out with any questions or ideas. I’ll be the one sitting down to read user feedback, I can’t wait to learn about your experience!

Obviously biased, but truly one of the coolest recruiting experiences I've ever heard! In the 2+ years we'd been building and beta testing we conducted well over 200+ user research sessions. So grateful that one of them was with you @asaburroughs and that you loved the product so much that you decided to join the team. And just think how much further we've come and how much better GC has gotten since you joined!

💡 Bright idea

@elliottpoppel awesome, thanks for the reactiveness! I would like to follow discussions on topics that require my attention / that I want to be on top of. For example, "ProductHunt launch". Probably I'd prefer to see these separated from the direct mentions.

@manu_hortet - That's a really, really great idea. You're making me think of when I was a PM on a team that build infrastructure that was used by quite a few other teams. If I could have followed a few key words / phases and seen when other teams were talking about us that would have been a godsend. This is DEFINITELY making the roadmap! Thanks again, Manu!

Fantastic. It reminds me of the Texts.com app but for work platforms. Which is great because that app saves me so much time and gives a bit of piece of mind I haven't missed anything. I like the idea of putting it all in an inbox to deal with also. Do these get automatically cleared if you resolve them outside of the GC app? Congrats on the launch! 🚀

@jonnymiles - That's a great comparison, Jonny! Super similar to Texts.com, but for work apps, plus we've got the "superpowers" of the For You tab, People tab, and Projects tab which are worth checking out if you haven't already! And yes - whether you reply via GC or you reply to a comment inside the native app the comment will be "Mark as done" in GC, clearing it from you to-do list. You can also manually "Mark done" if a comment doesn't require a response.

@jonnymiles Really like this comparison, Jonny. We thrive to make professional communication as seamless as Texts does with personal discussions.

@jonnymiles one other thing we want to introduce that may save the need to always resolve in the apps is providing better context from whatever doc the original comment appeared in. So if its a figma file, getting screenshots of the frame would be amazing

General Collaboration is the missing comment layer for SaaS apps. That is — rather than constantly bouncing between Figma, Notion, Google Cloud, Linear, Github, or Asana, GC is your unified inbox to read, reply, and triage all the discussions that are buried in each of those apps. And not only do you get to crank through your comments on time, but you can also eavesdrop on what your teammates are up to, so you can maintain a wider context of what's going on within your company. I had a great time supporting @elliottpoppel with this launch and recommend you give it a try to see how GC can improve communication and collaboration on your team.
