Hi everyone! My name is Logan. I'm the maker behind Story — thanks for checking it out! I started building Story because I felt that all the major productivity tools and project management apps seemed to have a fundamental problem. Which is that while many of these tools do a great job at helping you organize and control "WHAT" you are doing. (Creating and prioritizing tasks, making assignments etc.) None of these tools seemed to be built from the ground up to help you connect with "WHY" your work really matters. That's what I felt was missing from so many of the work experiences I was a part of, "Why do these tasks matter?" I built Story because I think meaningful work is less about "creating tasks and making assignments" and should be more about feeling like you're playing a necessary role in a bigger story. So I spent 10 years working to deeply understand what's wrong with our current paradigm for work, and how it could be changed to make work more meaningful for everyone. I founded my company (The Elkadeo Way) to build resources and tools to help people learn and apply the principles I discovered in work and life — and Story represents one of the biggest efforts of this mission that I'm excited to share with you! Story will be launching in Private Beta soon, which you can join by becoming an early supporter. By joining you'll also get access to other amazing perks and resources that you can start using right now, including my flagship course on how to build and run the teams of the future: "The Unstoppable Team Builder." This is a highly rated and "must-take" course for any founder or builder, and you can get instant access to it today!

I love how Story app zeroes in on how each team member starts with vision and the why behind their role for the shared goal. 25 years, working for 7 different managers, all with varied styles of assigning tasks has always felt it was missing the key elements to stay engaged. Story truly feels different. I am really excited to see how this tool changes how my team connects and works towards our shared vision! This is seriously unique app! Thank you

If I was part of a larger team, I'd 100% buy this. No brainer. I love your video on your page, I'd love to hear how you made it! I didn't listen with audio but was able to get the point. This feels like something really important as I see everyone move towards gig economies. Probably not fitting for a comment here, but while I'm thinking about it... Maybe we're seeing a move towards (as a founder/owner): Full time employees - Desperate need for this type of tool, huge alignment needed to avoid principle/agent issue. Contract workers/freelancers - Don't need this tool, hired for a job. Agencies - Hired specifically for X or Y, nothing else. - Thanks for the launch and creating such a thought provoking tool!

Hey @esus thanks for checking out Story! It's great to hear your thoughts and feedback. Regarding the video, I have a background in video production and used and Adobe Illustrator and After Effects workflow for most of the graphics and animation. Thats also me doing the voice over 😅 Yes, love your thoughts on the future of work. Different people in different situations will want or need different levels of context and connection. In cases where you have more fluid or creative teams, you can take advantage of more of those emergent 'role building' features like what's shown in the video. And in situations where roles and expectations are more defined and straightforward, you could easily run things that way as well. My hope is people discover the tool has the flexibility to help support them in telling whatever story it is they are a part of. Thanks for your thoughts Esus!

I'm sure it's on the roadmap, but can you talk a bit about how you see Story plugging into existing tools like Jira or Linear rather than requiring teams to switch over (or about migration if the plan is to have teams move)?

@logan_bean Looks awesome. How is team management & tiers going to work? Can an early-supporter who purchases manage a small team that can join the space for free? (Essentially, can I purchase to try with a few other people without having to get them to purchase?) Is there going to be medium & enterprise team tiers where you pay per seat or per company size, etc? Is hosting/managing a space/organization the only "purchase" necessary? What about integrations? What if any are available? (Hopefully code hosting services like GitHub & design tools like Figma for sure.) Will your development team be building some of these or relying on open-source developers & outside companies to build these on their own agendas? Will Story strive to provide many common services built-in so it doesn't turn into an integration madhouse? Many people hate switching between platforms for different tasks that use the same company data (Slack vs Teams vs Zoom, JIRA+Confluence vs Notion/Trello/other PM solutions). Will Story include all the usual features people tend to switch between platforms for (chat/messaging/meetings, documentation, tasking, tracking/analytics, version/change control, user feedback/bug reporting, etc.) or does Story intend to be a focused solution for a specific need, rather than a one-stop shop for everything? Even if it's focused right now, do you anticipate it becoming a one-stop shop for everything based on feedback down the road?

@dunnapey Hi Peyton, thanks for all your great questions. A lot of what Story becomes will ultimately be informed by our user feedback, but here are a few answers I can share with you right now. Regarding the plan for early supporters, yes. You'll have a life-time plan that includes a specified number of guests who can play roles in the stories that exist inside your plan, and those people won't have to be paid users. We haven't finalized that specific number of guests yet, but it will be more than enough for most people to run several teams under that plan. Integrations = yes. Starting with just about anything you can imagine using tools like Zapier. Story will most likely be a focused tool especially in its earliest days. I'd love to wave a wand and put absolutely everything anyone ever uses to connect and work together all under one roof, that would be amazing. But a vision like that probably won't be realized with Story in the early days. Our main focus is to be a kind of 'nervous system' or 'operating system' that helps all the parts of a teams 'body' unite together around a clear and collectively understood vision. Once we have that nailed we'd love to play a bigger part in becoming as useful as possible, so please do keep telling us sounds important to you! Thanks for your thoughts and feedback!
