👋 Hi everyone! I’m Keith, cofounder at Tome. Our storytelling app was hunted while we were in beta 7 months ago. We’ve made some major updates since (more on that ⬇️) and launched to general access last month. Given the great response, we’re excited to share Tome 1.0 with more people and drop our first iOS app today. 🎉 Social storytelling on mobile has evolved quite a bit during the past 10 years - think TikTok and IG vs. AIM and MySpace. Weirdly enough, storytelling for big ideas and work hasn't really come along at all. Two years ago, my cofounder Henri and I started to convince ourselves that a great format for big ideas could be valuable in the workplace & the public town square. One connected to the internet, designed for mobile, & focused on the message. That’s why our mission at Tome is to help anyone tell a compelling story: if more people are capable of sharing compelling stories, we believe we get one step closer to a society that acts on its best ideas. In beta, we listened to you - you wanted more customization and branding. So, we built a more powerful text editor and added features like themes and layouts. Then, we were blown away at general access. Signups 10X’d in our first week, and Tome has been used by: - product builders and designers for reviews, strategy plans, and customer education - sales reps and recruiters for closing a client - founders for fundraising and telling their brand story - nonprofits and thought leaders for sharing complex ideas We keep hearing that Tome helps people share more polished, persuasive stories, without the wasted time and frustration that come with slides tools. Now we think Tome is ready for you. And, we’re stoked to share our iOS app, which makes creating, editing, and sharing tomes on your smartphone seamless (for those last touches in your Uber to the meeting 😅). We have a lot to build, and really appreciate your feedback. It’s free to create your workspace at tome.app and there’s no trial period, so we hope you try us out. 🙂 We’re here for your q’s / thoughts, so drop us a line :) ⬇️

@keithpeiris Hi all! I’m Henri, the other cofounder at Tome. 😄 Today’s iOS announcement + the launch of Tome 1.0 is a big moment for us. Over the past 7 months, the feedback from Tome’s community of founders, product managers, designers and creators pushed us to ship: - New, more robust text editor with more font styles and alignment options - Custom themes, so your tomes represent you / your team - Pre-made layouts, to build the page you want faster - Improved performance, so creating in Tome feels snappy and responsive And today’s update: you can now create and edit tomes in our iOS app. This is helpful if you want to capture a moment of inspiration on-the-go, or make a last minute edit. You can also: - Record video narration on top of your content - Rearrange content to shape your story - Add + respond to comments from your team - Share your tomes with a few taps Try out our newly released iOS app here: http://tome.app/ios Coming soon: more layout flexibility, branding (logos and dynamic bg color support), typeface options, and more embed tiles with your favorite tools like CodePen. We hope Tome feels magical. And we hope what we’ve built helps you share what you mean, more like you'd imagined it. 💭 Let us know what you think!

@keithpeiris @henri_liriani1 I am SUPER excited about more embed tiles...is there anything else in the works? I'd love a Google sheets integration, for example.

@keithpeiris @mhsmith Yes! We’re working bringing a lot more of the services you use to tiles in Tome in the near future. We’re prioritizing tiles that display media (e.g. YouTube) and tiles that display your work from elsewhere like Google sheets or docs. If you’d like to see any other specific tiles, please share!

@keithpeiris @henri_liriani1 love hearing this. YouTube is a great tile to have. And would love to have Google Sheets and Docs as well.

Sleek, beautiful, and compelling. It's about time for corporate storytelling to join the 21st century where format isn't optimized for being printed out.

So excited for this! The iOS app is such a game-changer for fine-tuning my Tomes on the go and getting to iterate upon my designs. Can't wait to see where the product goes!

@alex_jones32 +1 - so many moments where you need to make a last minute tweak and it's such a mess to do so in most presentation tools.

Love!!! Super intuitive drag and drop, sleek design, and a huge time saver with with Figma embed. An added bonus of responsive design -- finally no more squinting and pinching and re-positioning

Tome is so easy to use it allows me to make presentations instead of writing an email or sending a message. This improves my work dramatically — it turns static emails that get lost into collaborative documents that are organized, clean and beautiful.
