Hey there! Thanks for hunting us @cyril! Iโ€™m thrilled to introduce what weโ€™ve been building for a year now to the PH community & to the world ๐Ÿค— Slite brings all your companyโ€™s work in one place: you can create your knowledge base, work on project docs and even take meeting minutes. As youโ€™ll quickly notice, Slite is simple for anyone to start using and we intend to stay that way, especially as we increase our feature set (stay tuned!). Give it a try and tell us what you think! Last but not least, a very special thanks to the first 50 teams of our private beta, you rock! โค๏ธ Cheers! ๐Ÿ‘‹
Ognjen Vukovic
@christophepas I will give it a try for sure! Be sure to check out our tool, it will be very interesting to you. https://www.producthunt.com/upco...
Joseph Landesman
@cyril @christophepas Slite looks great and congratulations on your success! Would there be any interest to raise money? Not a VC.

We've been using Slite for a few months and it finally solved our long research for the perfect knowledge sharing app :)

The adoption by our team was impressive, and Slite makes our knowledge management a breeze

Pros:

Amazingly easy to adopt & use, Beautiful UX, Great collaborative features !

Cons:

Nothing

Christophe Pasquier
Thank you so much for the kind words Benjamin ! We benefited so much from all your feedback, you ๐Ÿค˜

We have been using Slite for a couple of months with my team. At the really beginning, I didnโ€™t really get the point of using a new note sharing app since I was using Notes (Apple) and we already collaborate on documents with Google Drive... but Slite is for a different use case. Notes (Apple) is more about my very personal notes when Google Drive is more about high level files. Slite is actually between those two use cases. Itโ€™s as easy to use as Notes but with many more features which makes it 10 times better to collaborate with your all team! We spend now hours on Slite everyday and we really love it. Waiting for the mobile apps!!! ๐Ÿ™
Pierre Renaudin
@emmanueldarmon Wow what a nice comment, love to count you in our users. Sure, the mobile app is now our main focus. Take a look at our roadmap ๐Ÿ‘‰ https://slite.slite.com/public/s...
Andreas Duess
@emmanueldarmon Thanks for that - you answered my questions. I too am struggling why we would want to use this in addition to google docs and Slack. What concerns me is that adding another tool lends itself to content getting lost. Keeping all of our content in the Google ecosystem means that everything is searchable from one source. This looks great for people with no deep previous integration though.
Christophe Pasquier
@emmanueldarmon @andreasduess It really depends on your use cases, but a lot of our pilotes left entirely google docs to switch to Slite. To us, note is the perfect medium to hold your thoughts, your meeting minutes, but also your knowledge and the goals is really to replace all the writing tools & integrate with your daily tools so that your team can access its knowledge in one place If you want to know more, we wrote about it : https://medium.com/slite/why-not... ๐Ÿ˜‰
Emmanuel Darmon
@andreasduess @christophepas My daily use with notes tools is now 95% Slite and 5% Google docs (spreadsheets only)
Christophe Pasquier
Awesome @emmanueldarmon ! And absolutely for the spreasheet use case, you definitely another tool (not really part of the knowledge as we mean it)
CyrilPaglino
Hey everyone ๐Ÿ‘‹ Today Iโ€™m excited to hunt Slite! It's a beautifully designed collaborative note app with a Slack feel. Super easy to use, they're really onto something when it comes to sharing & creating information with your team. I've been following their work for a while now, and Iโ€™m always amazed by their super talented and productive team! Check it out ๐Ÿ™Œ
Christophe Pasquier
Forgot to reply, but thank you so much for the hunt and the kind words @cyrilpaglino you ๐Ÿค˜! (And by the way we were actually on tribe to follow the launch in remote between SF and Paris ๐Ÿ˜‰ So thanks also for that !)
Luc Chaissac

We've been using Slite for few months, and we can't be more happy. Best benefit is that it's a perfect way to improve transparency inside our team and to onboard new teammates!

Pros:

nice experience, channel organisation, improves transparency, centralized knowledge, no brainer, daily use base

Cons:

no mobile app

Pierre Renaudin
Would love to hear from your use cases and note examples you love to do with Slite?
Luc Chaissac
@pierre_renaudin something great for teams that scale is to create a note where new team members can explore company culture, add personal informations and search for resources, here's a preview of our "Onboarding intro note": - https://muxumuxu.slite.com/publi... We even use it to share short meeting notes with our clients: - https://muxumuxu.slite.com/publi... And to gather all our informations/knowledge in one place, processes, devices, passeport informations, HR informations etc...
Audrey Labuxiere
Hi Slite team, I must say I love your product! I never liked Evernote because there were conflicts on my notes too often... They even lost some of my notes :( important ones... I need a tool I can rely on and Slite works pretty well. Thank you for that. Is there an iOS app on the way?
Pierre Renaudin
@audreylabuxiere Thanks. I would love to know how you use Slite with your team? Which kind of notes you publish through Slite?
Audrey Labuxiere
@pierre_renaudin We have a channel for each client, and a company one. Inside we have all kinds of notes, meeting notes, process notes... we also made notes to onboard new colleagues so they know more about the company and us. I like things sorted!! ;)
Pierre Renaudin
@audreylabuxiere as we do ๐Ÿ’š
Christophe Pasquier
@audreylabuxiere Thanks so much for the kind word !! ๐Ÿค— And about the mobile app -> It's our next main milestones and we're already working on it, so stay tuned and if you want more info, you can check our public roadmap in this public note : https://slite.slite.com/public/s...
David Miotti
I'm a Slite user on a daily basis. Back few months and years ago when I was looking for a place for project documentation, meeting/call notes, preparing content and sharing them with my teams. - I tried Dropbox Paper for years : Nice and clean interface / Bad file organization with folders - I tried Google Doc for years : Bad interface / the worse file organization I could ever see Slite : The clean interface and note organization are easy to understand. I'll never go back to Paper or GDoc. Exactly the product you need for sharing notes with your team. Just give it a try, you'll never regret. Great product guys that easily compete with Paper and GDoc. ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ
Pierre Renaudin
@davidmiotti Happy to have you as a user David. As a developer, how do you use Slite? What kind of notes you love to see from your teammates?
Harrison Malone
@davidmiotti @pierre_renaudin I've had similar frustrations with Paper and GDoc so this could be the one that could finally works for me!
Christophe Pasquier
Awesome @harrisonmalone_ give it a try and let you know what you think ๐Ÿค—
Tom Benattar
Once again an amazing product from eFounders! Good luck guys, your product sounds awesome ๐Ÿš€
Pierre Renaudin
@tombenattar Thanks for the kind words!
Cecil Kleine
I've been using Slite to draft up documents together with different teams, and they're actually using it! It makes collaborative note-keeping very pleasant compared to Google Docs and Slack's built-in notes. Looking forward to see how this product evolves. Congrats on a great launch Slite team!
Pierre Renaudin
@cecilkleine Thanks! What features you love the most? ๐Ÿ’š
Cecil Kleine
@pierre_renaudin My favorite thing is how easy it is to organize everything. Would love to see my editing history in the future!

Alex Bass
What a successful launch! All of the beta users coming out and sharing their kind words. Congrats Slite! Not to just add on to that.. but we have been using it for a few weeks now and have been very impressed. We are a heavy G Suite team and even have heavy IT focused documentation within IT Glue for our company. With Slite, we have found a very nice middle ground and use-case though. Personally, I was using Google Keep for any notes that didn't feel like they fit in our main IT Docs and our CRM for other notes. We tried WorkLife for a year prior (acquired by Cisco, now Cisco Spark). But Slite is just different and cleaner. We tried making Asana our place for these misc and meeting notes. It just felt "off". Then comes in Slite. Yet another tool to try out. After having used it to nicely organize meeting notes and misc notes for a week, there was something different about it. I found myself and team gravitating toward it. The markdown support is very quick and clean, the referencing other notes with @nameOfNote, the organization by collections, the UI/UX, very friendly team, everything just worked. A few weeks later and I find myself recommending it to all of my friends for their teams. Even if you aren't a team and are just looking for a better place to store and organize your notes, Slite is that place. Only feedback is that it badly needs an Android mobile app. A quick Chrome Store App (link to Slite) would be awesome as well so that we can deploy it to our team and clients through the Google Admin Console. Excited to watch Slite grow over time, keep up the awesome work!
Pierre Renaudin
@alexhbass Woo I can feel you excitement while you're using Slite. It means the world to us. You are using GSuite, you'll be glad to know we're focusing on developing the Single sign on. We will get back you when it'll be released ๐Ÿ’•
Alex Bass
@pierre_renaudin yesss! The more SSO for G Suite, the better! One less password to deploy and for users to have to deal with. Happy your team is embracing Google, never a bad idea! Noticed recently that even companies like QuickBooks Online just implemented Google SSO. How lovely it is logging into all of my SaaS with just my Google Login. Love it! ๐Ÿ˜ This reminds me of a random aside. Would absolutely love some type of future "stylus sketch/note taking functionality". Purchased a Google PixelBook a few of my clients have the Samsung Chromebook Pro (believe it or not, businesses are jumping into Chrome OS). At the moment we still have to use Google Keep for taking down notes with a stylus. Going into a client meeting, swinging open the Chromebook into tablet mode, and jotting down notes is now a norm for us and clients. If Slite eventually supported a way to do this, we would be able to fully get off Google Keep for work-related notes. Thanks so much!
Steven Rueter
This is beautiful, and congratulations! I fear, though, that if simple collaborative team notes becomes a thing, Slack will just add it as a feature...what are your thoughts @christophepas?
Christophe Pasquier
Hi @rueter, They actually tried ;) Slack fixes all the synchronous part of your team's interactions, and a few years ago they thought of fixing the asynchronous part. Their solution was Slack posts, with the success we know. To really fix this you need a separate product, which is Slite ๐Ÿ˜. This being said, be sure that here at Slite, Slack is one of our biggest inspiration and we aim at integrate deeply with it ! You can actually already share a note from Slite to Slack, try it out and let us know what you think ;)
Steven Rueter
@christophepas thatโ€™s awesome, I will definitely check itout. If Slack wasnโ€™t able to figure it out, but you guys are, and the similarity in names, and the general inspiration, who knows, could be a potential acquisition ๐Ÿค‘ Really impressed, good luck!
Alex Scott
Looking great. Big fan of Quip and used every major collaboration/note tool under the sun. Smart: - easy pinning and @mentioning - awesome to have a desktop Ping notification - slack integration can be a game changer if you use it right - good interface Missing: - I personally can't stand the name. 'i sent it on Slite', 'it's mentioned on Slite', 'I Slited you the doc'. Nope. - quick ways to change formatting (or, I couldn't find the shortcut if they're available) - Excited to see other integrations beyond Slack - Excited to see other ways to customize interface (colors, fonts) - Can we get embedded tables?
Christophe Pasquier
Hi @alexscottco thanks for the thorough feedback ! Try also to link to another note with @+note name, super useful, especially to have wiki-like indexes ;) For the missing points : - Duely noted for the name ;) - all the shortcuts are listed in the right bottom of the app, give them a try ! - One of the core feature will be its API. get ready for a LOT of new integrations ;) - unfortunately we won't include colors or font selection to keep a super simple & readable format for everyone - and yes absolutely for the tables, the feature will be coming soon ! Thanks again for raising those points !
A_Sky
@mentioning @alexscottco thank you for the feedback. How different is Slite from Quip in terms of functionalities ? my whole team is using Quip at the moment and I am always enthusiastic at the idea to upgrade and migrate towards a better platform, but I need to make sure it is really pertinent for us to do so...
charles lee
@mentioning @alexscottco @a_sky same here! quip is great but maybe a little slow to innovate since the acquisition...
Alex Scott
@mentioning @a_sky TBH when I'm looking to introduce tools in a team environment, I look at app speed & stability (table stakes), market share (how widely is it used already) and product stage (how likely is it to be around in 2-3 years). Newer products may out-innovate on features, but of course is more of a gamble. Switching costs for teams is high, so I would start piloting with an eager subset and see if anything sticks.
A_Sky
@mentioning @alexscottco Agreed! thank you for this very concrete advice as well...๐Ÿ’ก I like how Slite is reactive vs Quip, a little more smoothe I would say...
Vianney Lecroart

I used it everyday for months and it's just a game changer. Everything is now in Slite. I tried before Google Docs (bad search, slow, memory nightmare), Notes, Evernote and tons of other note editor but Slite is way better than any other solution.

It's a no brainer, try it, you'll see.

Pros:

Wiki+Slack+Evernote have made a baby, it's name is Slite!

Cons:

Lack of offline support and mobile version

Maxime Pico
Hey! This is looking really good. However I'm not tempted enough to install it and try because it's always a big thing to migrate all your note-taking habits somewhere. And I don't see the added value compared to Notion.so Can you quickly explain me? Maxime
Nick Neuman
@maximepico @christophepas I have the exact same question. Currently my team uses Notion for this use case, and all of our notes are in there. Do you make it easy to switch? And what makes you better than Notion so that it would be worthwhile to evaluate a new tool? At first glance they appear to have many of the exact same features. But overall, great work! It looks very slick and useful, so don't take my above comment as discounting your work.
Christophe Pasquier
@maximepico @nneuman Hi Nick & Maxime ! Thanks both for your question ;) One big difference is its simplicity : put Slite in the hands of any team and they will use it, because it's a note app. Notion in comparison has always impressed me as a product person, but most non-product people just can't get it and are overwhelmed by it. The other super important difference is that it's not only focused on the content but on your team's interactions : you'll get notified when other users ping you on note, mention you in comments and so on. And eventually, Slite pushes you your team's content updates, by showing you channels and notes with updates in an highlighted way. It allows you to feed from your team's knowledge when you want, and stay updated. Today we don't allow you to import documents or notes from another tool, but we'll soon release the first version of our API which will make it super easy ;) Give it a try, and feel free if you have any other questions !
Mathias Richemond
Slite has completely changed the way we work in our team. We have been hardcore users since the very beginning, and we can't switch back to anything else. It's the perfect combination of Gdocs, Notes and Slack, to manage all the knowledge in your team and collaborate effectively. Great job from the team, especially with the new design! This is probably just the first version of a potentially amazing tool
Pierre Renaudin
@mrichemond Thanks for giving us this energy!
Juan Buis
I've been using Slite for a couple of weeks in beta, and I've come to like the product a lot โ€“ it's pretty much the perfect collaborative mashup of competing note taking apps. The new design freshened things up a bit, and the team's motivation makes me confident that there's some cool stuff on the horizon. Congrats on the launch!
Pierre Renaudin
@juanbuis ๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ˜‡
Maylis Amram

We use Slite since the very beginning - this is our collaborative note app. This is where we stock our knowledge base, where I take my personal notes also.

The product is changing rapidly and the team takes our feedback into account, we love it at Spendesk :)

Pros:

Very convenient to share notes with your teammates and create your knowledge base! Easy to use, rapidly evolving product, nice team :)

Cons:

Hm we need to make personal effort to keep it clean and organized!

Pierre Renaudin
Sure, look here for our next milestones ๐Ÿ‘‰ https://slite.slite.com/public/s...
Mathias Richemond

We've been using Slite for months and we're completely hooked. The value porposition is clear and simple. There are huge benefits of switching to Slite to centralize all your team's content and knowledge. It made us save countless hours of iterations on Slack, where direct chat is not appropriate for collaborating on content.

Pros:

Clean design, real time editing, incredibly easy to onboard, combines benefits of multiple platforms, native macOS app

Cons:

Mobile app

Jennifer Ho

Before: Notes, Slack (in multiple conversations), Evernote, Dropbox Paper, Google Drive, Github wikis and Gists, emails.

Now: Slite.

Pros:

makes it super easy to keep info in one place & it's very intuitive and slick

Cons:

no offline support (yet)

Laurent VB

I've been using Slite since the launch of their beta, one year ago.

The product constantly improved and became part of my daily life. Since their huge work on performance improvement, Slite is actually the first note app that made me switch from my good old pen and paper routine to take notes on the fly. Hats off to them!

Pros:

Gets out of your way.

Cons:

I can think of some ways to make me win even more time with small UX improvements. I'm sure the team is on it.

Pierre Renaudin
