Wassup PH folks 👋🎉 We’re @clara_rua, @guillaume_morin & Chris: designer, mobile developer and founder of Slite Mobile has been users' #1 request since we first launched a year ago on PH, so we're really excited to present Slite for mobile! And we're not leaving anyone out: we're launching on both iOS and Android 🤜🤛 A few words if you've never heard of Slite: our goal is to build the best documentation tool for teams, focusing on simplicity and collaboration. This starts with our desktop and, obviously, mobile apps, built for teams to easily write together and retrieve each other's work through a simple yet rich collaborative editor. A big thanks to our first few hundred beta users for their feedback! We can't wait to hear what you think :) — now over to @clara_rua & @guillaume_morin

@guillaume_morin @christophepas This first version focuses on the basics: note taking, note searching, hierarchised organization, and team collaboration (live editing, notifications, comments and replies). Being away from your computer shouldn't prevent you to jot down ideas, share and see what's happening in your team. Whether you need to adapt a presentation content before jumping into a meeting, edit an article on the fly, take notes during a conference, document your research... stay synced wherever you are Ⓜ️🚕🏡🚆🛩🛸 We hope you'll enjoy it as much as we enjoyed working on it! 😉

@clara_rua @christophepas 🤖One important point: Android's ecosystem is more fragmented so we’re still in public beta. We know we've got work to do on killing some beta bugs and on the keyboard support. If you encounter issues and are willing to help, please reach out, it'll help us polish the app as quickly as possible!

Been using Slite + beta testing their mobile app for the past 6 months, after coming to the realization that Slack/Google Docs just weren’t cutting it for knowledge preservation. It’s now our knowledge repo for meeting notes, runbooks, project READMEs, code snippets... basically everything. The thing that shocked me the most was how teammates had ambient exposure to new shared knowledge, without them being explicitly notified by myself or others, or them having to search for it. Like Yammer in its heyday – software with zero interruptions that somehow magically maximizes the cross-pollination of information, with zero fiddling on the writers’ end. Eager to see Slite continue to evolve.

@schukin thanks so much Dave, really appreciate all of your feedback 🙏

🤓 I've been using Slite on the desktop for a long time now. I have to say, this is the most complete team knowledge app I've ever used.

It's great now that they've released the mobile version so our team notes can stay in sync across all platforms 🔥

Thank you to the team at Slite 🌈Kudos to making a great tool for humans!

Pros:

Well designed, perfect for teams

Cons:

I've been waiting for a long time

I've been using Slite for few months to sync up with my meetup co-organizers. Being able to jot down ideas quickly, let them comment and collaborate quickly, from mobile is an absolute win.

Even though I think Slite is quite excellent, the mobile app isn't (yet). On the iPad you can't use Slite at the moment. The mobile app is just an iPhone app. And even in Safari on iPad Slite is not really usable at the moment.

@obyor Sorry to hear that the Slite mobile app isn’t up to your expectations yet. Although iPad support is not our top priority, we’ll be working on it in upcoming releases. In the meantime, the app should be running and working on iPad - could you give me more details on the problem you have? It’ll help us improve your experience. Thanks again for your feedback!

@guillaume_morin I'm a little surprised that you call Slite usable on the iPad. - When you select text, Slite's toolbox is overlaid by the standard iOS tools for copying and sharing text. So you can't format text on the iPad, convert it into an enumeration or a task, and so on. A key feature of Slite cannot be used on the iPad at all. - The scrolling on the iPad is really a disaster. Not only does it behave differently than other web apps, so scrolling a long note is really annoying. In Safari on iOS 12 on a 10.5" iPad Pro the app is a bit too wide, so you have to scroll horizontally back and forth to use the icons on the right. - Using tooltips on a touch device is pointless. They also disturb many places, because they overlay buttons or dialog boxes (like the sharing link dialog) or simply remain open and can only be closed by a reload. The whole thing is just so frustrating, because otherwise Slite is just so incredibly good and fun to use. In my team it is used as the most important tool next to Slack and Trello. The iPad experience just doesn't fit in at all.

@obyor Oh, I think there might be a misunderstanding here 😉 I was actually talking about the mobile app, not the web app. Indeed the web app is not optimized for the iPad but you should be able to download the mobile from the app store and use it on your iPad. Let me know if that works better and feel free to let me know if you have some troubles to get it!

@guillaume_morin It turned out that I was still on v1.0 without iPad support. The new version rocks!!! Thank you! 🤟

Hey guys could you tell me the main differences with Notion?
Christophe Pasquier
Maker
Hey @vladkorobov thanks for asking! There are and will be many similar features between the 2 tools and the big difference is on our respective focus. Our 2 focus are simplicity and collaboration. Both are tied as we aim at having all your team on Slite and therefore can't afford to have a tool only usable by productivity savvy people. We also love to unclutter the experience as we believe the fate of traditional wikis come from this overcomplexity: nobody write or read those because of it. So in Slite you'll find a super clean UX, a kick ass yet simple editor and a tool daily used for all your teammates, whatever their role. It makes it the best solution for larger and non product/dev only teams. From my pov, it seems Notion focus is to replace all your toolchain (with a "unified workspace"). It makes sense in some situation especially in very product savvy teams or for individuals. Let me know what you think!

@christophepas thank you for the detailed answer

The mobile version is slick! Well done

I've been using Slite on desktop for over a year and had been waiting for a mobile app for some time. I started using the mobile app about a month ago and WOW: the desktop version is super sleek and easy to use, and Slite managed to pull it off a consistent experience on mobile.

I had long looked for a collaborative note app that didn't feel like it was trying to do a million things at once and made it easy for my team and I to work together and actually GSD, so I'm pleased we chose Slite and never looked back.

And what's great about Slite is that even as more features keep coming out (and they do very regularly) the experience remains just as simple. In fact in some ways it's actually simpler! Couldn't be happier to see the app remains true to that promise. 👏

Pros:

Makes collaboration feel simple

Cons:

None so far

Georges Abi-Heila
Early adopter of Slite, we couldn't live without it anymore! Knowledge repo, task management, note-taking: centralising everything in the same collaborative interface is a huge time saver. Not having mobile access was indeed a major frustration, that is now fully solved ;)
Robin Choy

We have been using Slite for more than a year and it quickly became the vital knowledge hub of the team. However, we sometimes have to access that knowledge on the move and prior the mobile app - it was a pain. Now that it even easier to use Slite on mobile than Google Docs, we have seen adoption go through the roof within the team. Great work @team!

Pros:

Slite mobile was the only thing missing to the otherwise amazing Slite Appe

Cons:

No offline access?

Andrey Vinitsky

We've been using Slite Desktop for almost 1 year. It's been super helpful for our entire team.

Pros:

Slick app, very handy for teams on the go

Cons:

None so far

Alex Lazarevic

I'm using Slite for work for almost a year now, so consider myself an early adopter.

Perfect to create, organize docs, work with your colleagues together on them. As an internal KB or wiki, guidebook, onboarding manual for your employees or (for example) - hard to beat.

Mobile apps are a great addition, so now I can check the notifications and mentions faster and stay up to date without having to open my laptop.

Special mention goes out to Slite team for being very fast to respond to any feedback/issues - which has a high value in my opinion.

They have a public roadmap - with voting, a very transparent no-bullshit model I love to see.

Pros:

Super easy to use

Great for collaboration

Clean and simple UI

Extremely responsive team

Cons:

Nothing really

Benjamin Pipat
Really excited to see the Slite team taking their app public 😍 Our team has been using Slite for close to 2 years and we now use it for our company-wide knowledge management: super intuitive UX, strong collaboration features & instant search make team knowledge a breeze ❤️ The mobile app release completes the product for on the go note taking at conferences or flash meetings. Can't wait for future releases !
Laure Albouy
@bpipat thanks Benjamin and the entire Seelk team for the support and feedback in the past two years :) 💫
Thomas DIDIER

Early adopter of Slite, I don't see myself using another app anymore. I've been using Slite for a year and beta testing the mobile app for a few months, for pro. and perso. uses. The user experience is already great and I can't wait to discover what's coming next!

Pros:

Great & Intuitive UI - Perfect for taking notes on the go

Cons:

None so far

Yura Riphyak

Slite is a great alternative to Notion for product teams. Simple, swift , intuitive. Have been using it for almost a year - and super-happy for the progress teh team is doing.

Pros:

Great intuitive UI. A delight for all Slack fans - like myself.

Cons:

No all web features available for mobile yet.

Been so excited for the launch of the Slite iOS app. We use the desktop app every single day here at Page Anchor, and to be honest - I can't think of a better notes app for small teams! ✍️
Sid

I started using Slite today, love it so far

Pros:

Stunning UI and functionality. Has everything I need to take notes.

Cons:

Would be great if note entries had a *show time stamp* option

Ted Chen
Clean and joyful UI with strong and useful functions, would definitely use it !!!
