Notejoy is a collaborative notes app for you and your team. It helps you get your most important work out of the noise of email & Slack and into a fast and focused workspace.
I first used Notejoy when it was barely an MVP. It's now all grown up and worth checking out especially if you feel like you want to try an alternative to what you're currently using for creating and sharing documents with your team. Notejoy is built from the ground up with team collaboration in mind and that's what makes it different. Give it a try and see for yourself =)
I'm rarely a beating drum advocate for products - but Notejoy is an exception. We've been using Notejoy over the last 9 months and it has been a total game changer for our team. Previously, we used a messy combination of Dropbox Paper, Evernote, Google Docs, Confluence, and other products to try to capture and organize our team's knowledge. Finding and updating information was a nightmare. With Notejoy, we now have a single, well-organized place to collaborate, store, and share knowledge. From meeting notes with follow up tasks to post-mortems to AB test results to weekly updates to product specs to onboarding tasks/training... our team now stores just about anything in Notejoy that they want to share, update and collaborate on together. The real-time editing by multiple users, Slack integration, and updates about who has viewed/added to documents make Notejoy a total game changer for team productivity and communication.
That's really cool! How does it compare, feature-wise, to Slite.com? It seems really similar.

@lorismaz curious here as well. Have been using Slite for about 3 months now and the team is great, UX is awesome. Slite is one of my favorite apps, replaced Keep for me and many Google docs. One thing seems to be that NoteJoy has a mobile app which Slite does not yet have one. Curious to hear this though, looks nearly identical to Slite with just a slightly different organizational paradigm.
Congrats on the 🚀 @sachinrekhi and @adachen! Document collaboration could always be better as it has such a big impact on how team's communicate (especially distributed teams like ours).
How does Notejoy differ from Google Docs, Quip, and others?
Thanks for checking out Notejoy, @rrhoover! 👍
Notejoy is different from Google Docs and Quip primarily in our approach to organizing and finding your team's docs. While other products tend to focus on improving the document editor itself (which we have spent time on), we think the workflow of sharing / collaborating / finding hasn't seen a lot of innovation.
1- We have a concept of team libraries in Notejoy, which is like the file folder 2.0. They work like Slack channels where you can invite in team members and they can collaborate in real time to discuss, manage, organize content. From our beta, we've seen this is pretty game changing for teams to be able to do things like see who's viewed what, post reactions, have threaded discussions, and pin notes.
2- Search is way improved. A common complaint is that you can never find anything because search in Google Docs is pretty broken. We improved note search in both UX and speed, which makes a huge impact on how people use the product as a way to store things they don't want to forget later

Notejoy has been transformative for our company. Prior to Notejoy, our internal company knowledge was scattered everywhere- stuck in Slack message pergatory, Google Docs, random emails, and an outdated corporate wiki. Almost overnight, Notejoy helped us completely transform how we managed our employee onboarding, training, day-to-day operations, document sharing, and process documentation. We are now more transparent than ever internally, since Notejoy helps each employee have access to all of the company's knowledgebase easily. It has empowered our individual team members, it also has made me feel more confident as a founder that our company's valuable intellectual property and proprietary knowledge is being accumulated in a centralized place. I say this without any exaggeration- Notejoy has positively impacted the way we run our entire business. I was skeptical initially as well- isn't this an unnecessary substitute for a combination of using Google Docs, internal wikis, and Slack? Trust me, it's so much more than that. You owe it to your company to try it out. Every single person on our team, whether individual contributor or manager, has found Notejoy to be pretty gamechanging.
Pros:
Ease of use, speed of rolling out to entire team, impactfulness on productivity and transparency
Cons:
In-app messaging and permissions across users could be improved.

I was lucky enough to get early access to Notejoy almost a year ago, and even though I was a dedicated user of other productivity tools like Evernote and Google Docs, Notejoy blows them all away. I have even gone to the trouble of importing all my notes and documents off those platforms and into Notejoy.
If I look back on my career, I can't tell you how many times I've been tasked with a high priority initiative with the knowledge that someone must have already done similar or related work, and yet I've been forced to recreate all of it from scratch because no one in my network knows where all that prior work is saved (or the resident expert has retired or left). With Notejoy, it's never been easier for me to store, share, and distribute that knowledge, and it offers a natural platform that tracks and measures collaboration in a safe, secure, industrial-grade environment.
I've even taken to using Notejoy in my personal life, and my wife and I will collaborate on things like drawing up travel plans, updating old family recipes (sorry, grandma!), and even adding or crossing off shared life goals.
Notejoy is what you make of it. That's the beauty and simplicity of a very well-designed product. And with a free sign-up, the price is right. I know this sounds like an ad, but it's one of the few products that has worked its way into my daily life and maintains the same staying power at Day 300+ as it did Day 1.
Pros:
Excellent syncing, friendly and intuitive UI/UX, easy to collaborate, and flexible to any individual and organizational need
Cons:
Only wish I had this years ago

This is a very crowded space. I haven't had much time with Notejoy yet, but it will be interesting to see what makes it different/better than Google Docs, Dropbox Paper, Box Notes, Quip, Notion, Speare or any of the dozens in the vein of Bitrix or Podio.
One thing I don't like is makers continuing to put a huge segment of the global population on hold. Launching a project like this in 2017 without an Android app is like showing up to work without pants! Half dressed.
@just_s Sorry for showing up without pants today 😅 But we do promise the Android app is very high on our roadmap and we'll keep the PH community updated on when it's ready.
