👋 Hi PH! We're Scott, Jake, and Akshay – the co-founders of Monolist. We started Monolist after years of spending too much time managing work, and not enough time doing work. The number of tools we use every day has drastically increased, work is spread across so many places, and important tasks slip through the cracks. So we built something to bring it all together. Monolist is a global inbox that pulls in your most important tasks, pull requests, documents, and messages into one feed where you can search, or take action with full context. The "feedification" of work, driven by tools like Slack, forces us to make thousands of micro-decisions per day. Feeds are great for some things, like discovering important updates, but they're terrible to-do lists. We want to move away from a world dominated by notifications. We want to give you one list that tells you what you need to do across all the tools you use, with all of the context necessary to actually complete the tasks. Please send any feedback to me directly! akshay@monolist.co Akshay

@monolist @akshay_nathan Looking great! I've added it to my task management collection on https://softwareforprojects.com/...

@monolist @akshay_nathan Interesting! Is it a dev only approach or do you consider it applicable to other R&D personas such as product or design?

@cwehrung In the long-term, we want Monolist to be the place everyone starts their day at work. At the moment, we're tailoring the product primarily to engineers, who deal with a lot of information across tasks, pull requests, and alerts. However, Monolist can definitely be used by other roles, particularly for managing tasks, document comments, and alerts, in addition to providing a search layer across all the tools you use.

Hmmm. This will make my life a lot easier!

I’m a software engineer and I use monolist every day. As an engineer, I care most about the real-time statuses of my pull requests (did it get reviewed? Did my build pass?), and pull requests I am reviewing (did I forget to review something? Am I blocking someone?), google docs/sheets, calendar, and maybe 10% of emails that come through my inbox. Monolist is great for my needs, and I don’t know of any other product that pulls together all of my different work-mandated apps, and presents them to me in an efficient, intelligent way. When I first started using Monolist, it was hard to break my habit of switching between tabs to check the status of gmail, github, gcal, and google docs/sheets. I realized I wasn’t just checking statuses inefficiently, but I was context switching and only half-finishing tasks, then forgetting about them once I got a ping or notification about something else that required my attention. Monolist saves me time, and unloads my brain a bit by keeping track of things I’d otherwise forget. I’m excited for the future of this product, and what other integrations/time-saving features it releases!

Really cool app! You should consider posting on www.remote.tools as well :)

@monolist @akshay_nathan Great job guys, looks really good so far. Would be good to see list of current (and potentially roadmapped) integrations somewhere -- will help inform decision to buy.

@monolist @akshay_nathan @olamide_lawal Thanks Olamide! The integrations we currently support are: Asana, Jira, Trello, GitHub, GitLab, Slack, Google Drive, Google Calendar, and Gmail. You have a good point that we should outline these more clearly somewhere obvious. We'll look into doing so ASAP.

Hey, I was wondering - how is this product different than Taco (https://tacoapp.com/)? Also, what made you decide to price it at $20/month? Are you planning on offering tiered subscription plans?

@roni_bar Hi Roni, At Monolist we're focusing on engineers. Rather than simply pulling tasks from your other services, we give you the tools to prioritize and complete them from within Monolist. A pull request you're assigned to will automatically come into Monolist, and you can schedule it for later and approve and merge it when you're ready. We have no plans for tiered pricing now, but feel free to reach out to me via email (akshay@monolist.co) to talk about your specific use case.

This is pretty darn cool looking, but I don't live in the google ecosystem so it's missing a lot of value there for me. MSA (Microsoft Account) + Office 365 would make this great!

@richardsimp yes MSA n 365 would be Huge!..
