Noor is the chat app for teams who want to ship cool things _together_. Slack has been primarily serving large enterprises and doesn't care about building high quality software. Noor is a native app, focused on simplicity, teamwork and speed.
In addition to the cool name, and great new perspective to work/chat/collab experience, I adore how you nicely mention people who helped you and the tools you use :) And now for the feedback: 1. Tasks and daily chats are great, I can see this as a major pain point for many remote/hybrid teams. Even though in Slack you can technically achieve similar behavior using a bot + chat named daily, having a focus in the actual tool is way better in many ways. 2. "Physical space" is not something I would use a lot, but might be useful for some teams I guess. 3. Having a whiteboard to load within the app would be nice to have 4. A decent search capabilities 5. It would be nice to have a home section next to the "tasks" button. Use case: The section would have a grid of links (like apps on mac os or bigger cards). This would be useful to have a common place for the team to have a single place with all assets, be it a notion page, docs, other links, etc. Number 5 is my personal favorite (after number 1, of course 😅) because I switched from Slack to JetBrains Space for a few reasons: 1. Losing my history and not being able to search properly for what I didn't lose yet. (Noor doesnt have such issue as far as I can tell) 2. It was nice to have everything work related in one place. Although, now I realize there is too much clutter in JetBrains Space, so whatever you add to Noor, please make sure it's really needed there, or let people hide it. 3. Kanban board, actually not just the board, but the fact how easy it is to share tasks with the team and invite them to a task by mentioning the person and following the discussion in the chat. In other tools, you would have to share links, go to another tool in the browser, and go back to discuss the task, etc. Whilst this is a nice feature, I believe it is not a good fit for Noor, just mentioning why we switched to JetBrains Space. > A lot of people told us that don't compete with big players A lot of people say the same for what we are doing, but hopefully in 5-6 months we will release a great competitor :)
I am seriously looking into this, and I do agree it's time! Interface already looks better than Slack! Congratulations on your launch! New Noor user here! 🚀🚀🚀
Congrats on the launch!🎉 I like the concept of this app, it's worth replacing Slack and I'm really looking forward to future updates. The UI is simple and easy to use.
