@andygcook you guys at Tettra.co are using something to internal wiki's? Do you know some tool for small businesses communication? We are using google docs to create our alignment docs, but it's hard to find content over there.
@oandre Have you tried Quip? For document sharing, editing, Quip is great. @andygcook
@pravilz @oandre My team is building an internal wiki for teams right now, so we use Tettra.co at Tettra :)
Right now Tettra's for Slack teams only, but we plan to add Google Apps login support soon too. If you're not using Slack, Google Sites would be my suggestion for an internal wiki for your team. The new version is pretty good for creating a static handbook like experience. It lacks features to help you keep your team's knowledge up-to-date and organized, which is something we're working on at Tettra. We also make it easy to access Tettra right from your Slack through a /slash command.
You could also checkout Nuclino, Notion.so and Quip, although my belief is that those three are less wiki-focused and are more replacements for Google Docs that you can happen to turn into a wiki with enough jiggering. There's also the tried-and-true Confluence by Atlassian. It's a solid product and does basically everything you'd need, but can also feel like overkill at times because it does everything you might not need too.
@andygcook @pravilz @oandre Tettra is pretty slick - but I am just not prepared to open yet another knowledge silo and then pay an additional monthly fee. No slight on the Tettra guys intended, the product looks great and you got to make a living. This is part of our existing google suite and a great addition for internal comms.
I do love Google's Sites as I use it as a quick Learning Management System (LMS), however when I played withthe newer Google Sites, I do see that its not a 1-to-1 migration of the previous feature set at all 'just yet'. That being said, Google, like Apple and others, does allow for sync, integration, and ease of use across documents with other Google products that make life easier. Hoping someone from @google can provide more insights?
Can't beat how simple and quick this is!! Making a site is pretty much easier than making a Google Plus post.
Great ! is this a prototype of a WIX / Site builders / WP killer ? An advanced mode with just a few more elements to drag/drop - a shopping cart widget - a few tweaks and publish under your own url and it will be the perfect tool for most of individuals and SME webmasters. No ?
Easy to use. An ideal solution to quickly built a website within a team who don't have huge web experience.
As @rrhoover mentioned, it looks like more of an intranet or internal simple page builder for businesses to create a simple page fast and share with their coworkers. Definitely not powerful enough to make high-end websites (aka. WordPress-style).
The old Google Sites looked like a relic from the late 90s. They finally gave it an overhaul so it's material design and looks to be integrated with Google Drive/Suite.
The only thing is that they forgot the API :(
Pros:Complete overhaul of the old ghetto UI/UX, some nice templates to create your site
Cons:No API
Not bad. I gave myself exactly 20 minutes to build a site, just to see what I could do on a first run. Here's what I managed:
https://sites.google.com/view/sm...
Out of touch with the market. Doesn't provide the features people are interested in. Looks more like another way to get people to discover Google Docs.
I started using Google Sites for PureMetrics's internal wiki last week. I see a lot of missing features, due to which Google may have a migration headache (hope they do plan a migration feature)
1. No keyboard shortcuts (in Classic you can create and edit all with keyboard shortcuts, makes it quicker
2. No widgets : For example so subpage listing or sitemaps
3 No comments 😔
So they release the new Google Slides a few months after we set up a WordPress theme as our intranet (alongside Gdocs and Slack), after YEARS of not updating it. Google, I love you but aaaarghhhhh
There are so many better solutions to website building. Sites is a poor answer. Google would have done better buying out Wix, Squarespace or IM Creator and launching that under its brand.
So much better than the original. Just wish the footer wasn't so enormous or could be removed/modified.
Would love it if they incorporated data studio into the new sites. Or maybe, alternatively, functionality from sites into data studio. Either way, it would be great to be able to incorporate data and rich content together. I'll wait patiently...
