Hi Product-hunters ! Great to meet y'all 🤗 and thanks to @mwseibel and to @ycombinator for the Hunt! I'm Raf, the CEO of Spot (https://justspot.io) and together with @ulysse_mizrahi we are super proud to announce the launch of Spot to the public. We've been working on it hard (kudos to all the team! ) and we can't wait to see what you think. We've been using it internally for a while now - and I think it's pretty neat ❤️. Without further ado: ❓Why we decided to build Spot 💩 Documentation is always a mess. Even with the best intentions, drives and wikis always end up poorly maintained - and nobody really wants to spend time managing or adding to them. Is this page up to date ? Where should I put this document ? Ugh 😩. 💬 We resort to exchanging vital knowledge on Slack, which is lost as soon as it is written. Questions get repetitive, and nothing really sticks. 🧠 But good knowledge management is crucial, especially in the remote age, when teams are growing. We can spend up to 20% of our time searching for information, new hires need to ramp up quickly and self-serve, people leaving the company leave with their knowledge, and time-consuming projects can end up duplicated. 👀 We've seen this before. As a Product Manager at Google - I saw first hand how good (or bad 😀) information management practices can turn a team's productivity around. 💪 What Spot does for you team 📖Spot is your team's hub to document their work, backup important knowledge and search for whatever they need. It's not a wiki, it's not a drive - it's an entirely new kind of knowledge base. 💡Thought of a great idea ? Found out something new ? Want to document a bit of knowledge for posterity ? Jot it down in a Spot card, link it to a few others - and you're good to go. No hierarchies to navigate, no long pages. 🤝Spot works hand in hand with your other tools - not parallel to them. Connect them to Spot and let the magic happen. See an interesting thread on Slack ? Back it up. Perhaps even write a Card to expand on it. 🔍Spot's search is fast and smart. And it searches everywhere. Cards, but also Drive, Notion, Confluence or any tool you might already be storing important knowledge in. 🧨 Enough already - how do I get started ? 🚀Just drop us a line so we can onboard you. 🤑If you get started before July 31st, we'll offer you $300 in free credit. This will cover for 5 active users for 6 months.

I like the idea but I don't understand what the result looks like.

Hello @shashcoffe ;)) Thanks for checking us out! (also fromnotion.com looks super interesting!) Spot assembles a light-way knowledge base which stays fresh and functional as cards are easy to create, connected with rest of your docs, slides, relevant slack threads, other cards etc.. The system is based on a strong ownership model to make sure an owner is always on top of a question, colleagues contributions etc... Would love to give you a demo and have your pointers ;))
