I really like the product, it's beautiful and easy to use ... so much so that I really want to find a reason to use it ;-) But I am not sure for what I should really use it, if I want to share a mock-up or a design proposition to my team, I will use InVision, if I want to work and discuss on a google doc with a colleague, I'll do that directly in the comments of the document, if I want to share a link to an interesting articles, I will either use hangout or if it is more important and I want us to be able to find it back, I'll go to Podio where I can organize items in different categories and tags.... But I'll keep searching because I really want to use Skarpline !

@pbriod Haha. Thank you for the nice question Pascal! I'm still laughing ;) Each one of the great tools you mentioned works well for its purpose, but things get tedious when you need to combine many tools and many projects in a modern and effective workflow. You'll need to check everyone of those websites for other people feedback, you can't organize things together (you might want to group a couple of PSD files, with your InVision links, Trello board, and related resources for your mobile app developer project for example). Add that to the rest of the features, and you'll get everything you need in one place, or a perfect quiet time (Focus Mode) when you want to keep working on everything without being periodically distracted. We first built it to our own needs, but now our baby has grown so big, so we want to share her to the world ;-) I’m not sure how big your team is, but here is how it works for us. We meet everyday in Skarpline 8.15 for daily standup. We have a Link card that starts a Google Hangout. We chat and make fun here with giphy and varios integrations we have. Work gets uploaded as files (e.g. design) or articles pointing to Google Docs or anything else. People ask for review and we document all discussion right there on the card. We keep track of the status, e.g. code commits, scrum workflow via pivotal tracker etc. We organize it however we want. Skarpline looks totally different to me than to a designer and different to a back-end developer. We all work on different topics and with different things. Also, we have some external freelancers attached to the company. We share work with them from Skarpline as well. Both cards and chats. Happy to jump on a call with you or continue the discussion in Skarpline ;)

@storbaek Very interesting ! thanks for the detailed answer ! I do see the value of having all in one place, I am not sure yet that Skarpline could be this place, as it doesn't seem to cover important feature of the different tools that we use. I'll find a specific project that we could use to give it a try !

Is there a desktop app or mobile app planned for this? I would find it way more useful if so. Great job on this product though!

@hustlinhack Hi Kyle! Yes, both are planned and we'll be doing mobile first. We are currently designing the mobile interface based on a new concept we've been working on. Thanks for asking!!

Thanks for the hunt @bentossell!! Delighted to be on PH. We built Skarpline after scraping a product we had built. We focused on solving our own need and the challenges we saw in modern communication and collaboration. One of our early users made a pretty good description what makes Skarpline unique right here http://bit.ly/1YXzy8L (former Slack user). And, we’re doing a small announcement with “PRESS RELEASE: We are now a Unicorn Startup”. http://bit.ly/1MOgxw8 Take the web app for a spin. I’d be happy to answer your questions. Ask me anything ;)

Great product! I had to pleasure to meet Dan (@storbaek) while in Copenhagen and I know how hard the team is working on Skarpline. I think Skarpline's best feature is its simplicity, since I find it both visually appealing (with cards, folders and all) and also easy to use (connecting to an API is very simple). I think non-tech people will especially love it =)

Great product. However, I see two big challenges; 1) It doesn't look very quick to setup. Its important because this would be big within startups. 2) It might be too much information to store. I see how you guys are trying to be very organized, but people use lots of different tools. So for us the front dashboard page, would look very complex because we use more than 10 tools. For how it looks now, I would prefer to stay with Slack and pull the info to Slack, as we need to. If you show from the screenshots, how a CEO would see the dashboard vs how an engineer would see it. That could make a difference. Hope it helps!

@sercanlir Hi Sercan, Got it! My thoughts on your two points : 1) Nowadays, you cannot introduce a complicated product to the market. We’ve used it ourselves for some 9+ months together with early users. Some use it as a Slack/Hipchat replacement and keep cards light. Others use it primarily for cards. It’s extremely flexible here. 2) Here are two examples from me ( http://bit.ly/1KZktbZ ) and an engineer ( http://bit.ly/1Q6SuyZ ). I use files, links and integrations (e.g. Pivotal Tracker and Twitter), while my colleague has more integrations (Bitbucket, Google Cloud and GitHub). Our designer has way more files. 3) I’ll add a third comment ;) We communicate on these cards, give feedback and reviews to each other etc. It’s just a different way to work.

@storbaek Thank you Dan for sharing your thoughts. Screenshots you sent along made a lot of sense to me. One advantage I see on your platform is the well organized files versus "bad UX with pinged files" on Slack. I think you guys can capitalize on it. Best of luck!
