Hihi PH folks! We’re a spin-out from Cornell Tech and are really excited to finally share Uni with you all first as we launch our open beta 🚀🤗! When people come together to work, things tend to get messy. We built Uni to help companies organize the messiness and exclusivity around decision making and make smarter decisions! With Uni, you can lay out and schedule the questions on your mind, define the details you care about, and bring in the people whose perspectives you need to consider. Uni’s momentum engine intelligently runs in the background and makes sure the right people are pitching in their ideas and thoughts so when it’s time to decide you have a set of well thought out ideas and the right people to bring to the next meeting. The team and I will be sticking around for the day to answer any questions and hear your feedback! EDIT: Thanks for all the feedback! Feel free to reach out at hi@uni.fyi with any more questions :)

This is such a well done product. Congrats!

@aholidayiii Thanks !! You've been a great supporter and help in this!

Beautiful app! Upvoted and 5 stars for sure. I'm curious, what platform was used the make the app? It doesn't feel like native Android.
Adrian Vatchinsky
@rayliverified hey there! Thanks so much for the compliments! @stephen_lang is responsible for the designs! We used ionic. It was really important for us to support all three platforms from the start. Ionic is great and does a lot of things to conform to the native device, but we chose to focus on creating one consistent experience to start and will begin optimizing individual platforms soon!

@stephen_lang @avatchinsky I really look forward to using Uni, it seems so powerful and very well thought out. Thanks for letting me know what platform you're using. It looks and works really good! I can tell it's not native Android because I'm an Android developer. In a lot of ways, it's better than native!
Adrian Vatchinsky
@stephen_lang @rayliverified we’ll keep you posted with all the latest!!

I love this app. I've already used it to make so many critical decisions. In the past couple months, I've used Uni to make my 2020 business plan for my real estate career, make travel plans with my buddies, design my agent website, and to decide how I wanted to decorate my apartment with my partner. The uses really are endless and the product is even more useful if you sign up with other people you want to collaborate with like your teammates, colleagues, professional partners...The more people you have contributing ideas and engaging the better the insights are on this app.
Adrian Vatchinsky
@shelly_place Thanks! Super glad you're finding the value! A lot of our secret sauce which makes up our momentum engine starts kicking into play as you make more decisions. So get excited for Uni to get even better 💪

I used this app at Cornell Tech back when it was called Unicornicopia. A great app that fostered creativity, divergent views, interaction. I wish my workplace used this tbh.
Adrian Vatchinsky
@oatsandsugar the OG name <3 we have some plans to add some Easter eggs to that domain so that we can have fun w/ the original crew from ct!

Had a chance to use this app at Cornell Tech when trying to support interaction and feedback on startup ideas. Did a great job in opening a dialogue. There were definitely a few UI decisions that weren't super intuitive, so it took some time to figure out how to get conversations started.
Adrian Vatchinsky
@johnway_yih great to hear from you! We’ve been working hard to streamline and apply our learnings! Don’t hesitate to reach out with any suggestions! :)
Sheena Livingston
Nice job, guys! Seems like this could be especially effective for remote teams? Have you found that to be the case?
Adrian Vatchinsky
@sheenaliving thanks! You totally nailed one of our use cases :) We've found that as teams get more distributed keeping people on the same page in regards to key decisions and just meaningful participation in the team to be a growing challenge for managers. A lot of our closed beta trials have consisted of PMs who've leaned in at the opportunity to include their remote workers in a more meaningful way. They would lay out the key questions the team needs to decide on at the next meeting and be able to collect a healthy set of meaningful ideas to discuss from both on-site and off-site team members. This allows for a more streamlined meeting and a much more authentic and organic buy-in from both the on-site and off-site team members!

It's not currently available for Google Pixel 3, Samsung Tab 3, why? I wanted to give it a try but I can't download it and does not appear at all in the Play Store from the phone :/ Based in Italy!
Adrian Vatchinsky
@claudiocodispoti Hey thanks for pointing this out - will look into it and check it out!

This UI design is lit 🔥🔥🔥, so the app too.

Can’t wait to use this! We’re always losing track of our ideas as a team!

Was wondering if you plan to add more features for sharing to other platforms once decisions are made? The ones you have now are great, just curious if that’s a direction you plan to go for the app?
Stephen Lang
@joe_yuan1 Definitely, we want to make sure that the decisions you reach on Uni make it out into the world. We realize there's a ton of different tools that people use to track their progress while they're executing on their decisions. So far we just tackled a few of the more common ones, but we're really excited to build out support for some more niche workflows. If there's an integration you're jonesing for hit us up and we'll add it to our list.

Great to see this on product hunt. I found this on the App Store about a month or so ago. I have been using it for “long form” brainstorming with some smaller groups of people for work and social planning. Especially for work it has been a huge time saver in that we can skip entire meetings and give more time to think for an open problem that we’re dealing with. I work in a physics lab and have started using this app to have everyone offer solutions for fixing equipment, adjusting a cleanroom process, or reviewing some data. For social stuff it’s way more organized than a group chat where the info and ideas get buried. Great stuff!
Stephen Lang
@joe_yuan1 Those are some great uses for the app. I mean, how to manage shared space or equipment is something that effects other people. So why not get those people involved in the figuring out the best way forward. Sounds like you guys have a good thing going. I'd love to hear more about how you guys are reviewing your data. Physics is so cool 💫

Uni provides great framework for a team to organize and evaluate ideas effectively. It was especially helpful when preparing for meetings because many preliminary discussions can start before the actual meeting. Uni enabled everyone to know what ideas were shared, where they belong and how they were evaluated. This saved time and raised the quality of face to face discussions for our team!
Adrian Vatchinsky
@sangyoon_lee3 Super happy to hear it! This is definitely one of the goals we are striving for w/ Uni -- have fun and be creative before the meeting, and when it's time to meet use the time to define next steps + execute!

I’m a startup CEO. First discovered Uni at Cornell. So much fun.
Courtney Marmon
Great job, guys!! Great platform, great product!
Adrian Vatchinsky
@courtney_marmon thanks 😊 there's a lot more work to be done tho!
Ora Niknamfard
Awesome app! Is there a way to easily share with contractors and only give partial/project based access?
Stephen Lang
@ora_ There is! You can bring in guests on either questions or ideas as long as you’re the owner. We’re trying to encourage people to bring in more perspectives to help them generate ideas, leave feedback, and buzz ideas (upvote).
Arun Bodapati
Just started using Uni, and it looks great! The visual design is easy on the eyes and the interface is intuitive, which makes it both easy and fun to use. It almost goes without saying, but I'd bet that goes a long way to getting a variety of users engaged and bouncing ideas off of each other!
Mario Roque
Great looking app and so intuitive! Perfect for planning everything from planning a party with friends to brainstorming sessions with my coworkers.
Adrian Vatchinsky
@mario_roque1 thank, glad you like it!
