Spot

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.

Congratz on the launch & amazing product Let's go @raf_col & team! 🔥🔥

Cool tool! Tired of being lost across Slack, Quora, Reddit, Notion and Intercom

Really cool concept, solving the real mess of managing knowledge, content and documentation inside an organization- love how you have reimagined the wiki.

Congrats on the launch and amazing product!

Congrats on your launch @raf_col & @ulysse_mizrahi! As the first beta-tester of the product, I can attest to 2 things: 1. The speed of execution & agility of the team 2. As a Knowledge Manager, I see the pain point of having unconnected sources of information (more than that, truth) across a company, and the difficulty of maintaining all those pieces in the long run. Spot is the connective tissue for knowledge!
