What's a product that you wish you could bring back from the startup grave?

@jasbanwait Yes, agree totally!!

@jasbanwait wait, it still exists?

@mikestaub A small part of me died when Path finally shut down. Had the app after it was pulled and access it up to the day before they killed the servers… Truly wonder if the world would’ve been in a different place had that app taken off and mass-scale, algorithm-dependent social media hadn’t become the only option…

@undefinedprocess It taught me that market timing is just as, if not more, important than product.

@pradeeb28 YES, have you found any good alternative since?

@aaronoleary it’s not the same by any means but I’ve fallen head over heels for Superhuman, with Twobird being a close second by virtue of their sterling markdown support and prioritization functionality. Keep an eye on SkiffMail as well; long way to go but a very promising start. For the most immediately analogous product I’d also say OnMail deserves your attention. SkiffMail I have an eye on, Superhuman’s my daily driver, TwoBird is what I recommend for any Android-centric people, OnMail is usually my go to as a recommendation for people wanting an Inbox replacement/need out of the box custom domain support. (Also good for agencies or anyone regularly sending massive attachments, where whitelabeling is a plus.)

@mituhin It's kind of back! https://www.producthunt.com/prod...

@product_at_producthunt Agreed especially on the social media side of things!

@vimal_gopal1 Building consumer IoT is a tricky game - the rise of Shenzhen maker culture and 3D printing have made rapid prototyping far easier, but many IOT projects run into trouble when it’s time to produce the hardware at scale and code for the firmware. I took point on launching Hewlett Packard’s first true smartwatch, the MB Chronowing - only way we were able to do it was thanks to HP (and frankly, HPE) having a massively complex and scale friendly supply chain / vendor relationships. You should totally do it - not trying to discourage you in the slightest.

@graham_seymour Well I will probably do this just to scratch the itch and just build few quantities..I am pretty sure I cant make money out of it. :)

@lotfipouya1 Never heard of that 🧐

@aaronoleary 😂 that means I'm getting old 😅

@phyo_arkar_lwin I know this will make me sound shallow / like I have my priorities out of whack but… can’t stand the Zulip interface, personally. I admire that it’s robust and open source but it’s just not for me. I’ve used several dozen different offerings in this space (actually, randomly, had to make a list of them yesterday for an article draft) & I still maintain that Hall was something special. Swit, Chanty, & Rock are all cool and current. Brief / Brief X was promising but is an abandoned project now for all intents and purposes. I’ve kept an eye on a few new contenders like Mana. Loved Quill Chat til it was bought up by Twitter and has since gone AWOL. The hunt continues. I know this might sound very silly but one of the biggest features I DESPERATELY want but cannot find anywhere is robust end to end markdown support. Slack tries, but is, regrettably, Slack. Discord has lite markdown support but is unsuitable for many professional environments. Quill was building out tight markdown support but is again off the market now. Either way - appreciate the reco, maybe I should see how Zulip has come along since last I glanced at it - admittedly, years ago. Sorry for the unsolicited rant, just kind of got rolling there. 😅

@graham_seymour It is like Vim , when you get used to it it become most powerful collaboration tool. 5.x have Topic resolve system which lead us to ditch other project management tools and working directly on zulip. The development is very active and founder and community is very responsive. > robust end to end markdown support. This is exactly where zulip shines at , Zulip change only little to markdown , even header syntaxes works. Almost all markdown syntaxes works. - copy and paste from your GFM to zulip and works 100% - The editor now also have minimual editing buttons for Markdown.

@graham_seymour Here is the example how we use Zulip topic system as project management + Collaboration tool: https://chat.zulip.org/#narrow/s... Screenshot :
