As a huge @ginatrapani fan since the Lifehacker days, always love to see new projects she's working on. Love the design, testing to follow! Nice work Gina!

@alexlazarevic Hey thank you for your kind words! The whole team at Postlight gets credit for this one (I merely cheered them on and dogfooded a bit).

I'm not sure about using the tool for team collaboration but design looks lovely and productive. Just liked the ptoduct and your vision. Probably, we need a specific use case to use YAP but do not know what it is :D

I quite didn't understand the use case here. Can someone explain where we can use this service?

@vsnthv see the article linked above. Here’s an excerpt with an analogy to IRL activity: ‘There shouldn’t be a log, because it’s not a chat room. Who needs a chat log? It’s about the moment. Imagine rolling into a pub during a Liverpool/Man City game and asking the group: “Hey could you guys share what you really enjoyed saying to one another for the past 15 minutes? I’d love to catch up!”‘
