Hey PH, I’m Rob, co‑founder of Cushion. My co‑founder Dave and I built Cushion last year as an internal tool so we could work on projects together. Traditional chat apps create noise that buries important information and distracts you. Slack channels feel like never‑ending meetings, so getting solid feedback and making progress can feel like a nightmare. Now we’re launching it for everyone! Cushion combines posts, messaging, and check‑ins into a new way to collaborate. Async by default, it’s a refreshingly calm and focused way to work. With Cushion, teams find they are more organised, focused, and productive. What makes Cushion different: - Posts → The default way to communicate. Single‑topic conversations, threaded by default, so everything stays organised, skimmable, and easy to find. - Connect → Close out conversations with AI. Tag your team to gather feedback. Link related posts. - Inbox → A focused inbox that rolls up all your posts and keeps them neat. Set reminders to follow up later. - Check‑ins → Regular updates on what work got done and when. This keeps everyone in sync without the time sink of endless meetings. - Automations → Automate busywork with AI, like reviewing work, creating Linear issues, and linking related posts. Plus, there’s much more: integrations with Slack, Linear, and GitHub, 1:1 private messaging, daily email digests, notification scheduling, and more. We’re 100% bootstrapped, with no outside funding, and we’re in it for the long haul. Dave and I would love you to try Cushion and share your feedback.

Been stuck stitching Slack threads and a standup bot before, and the handoff is always where things disappear. Cushion putting posts, inbox, and check-ins in one loop feels much cleaner for small teams, especially if blocked work from a weekly check-in can surface straight into the inbox.
