the ux looks very nice!
Nico Spijker
@raiyanyahya Thank you so much, we have made loads of changes to make it as intuitive as possible. Loads of work from @wandile_mamba went into getting the UX into what it currently is.
Raiyan Yahya
@nicolaas_spijker well than I am definitely following @wandile_mamba . Good Job!
Wandile Mamba
@nicolaas_spijker @raiyanyahya thank you. All the improvement is thanks to our very responsive users' feedback. 🙏
Vitalii Gerzhan
Congrats and good luck! Quite a beneficial set of features.
Kenzo Fong
Thanks @vitalii_g! Would be curious to hear which features you like the most?
Vitalii Gerzhan
@kenzofong one stop for chat, tasks and notes.
Kenzo Fong
@vitalii_g that's also what a lot of our users like! By having all of these in one space they can simplify their workflow quite a bit. They also like the ability to quickly and easily work across organizations.

Hi everyone, Nico from Rock here! Super excited to see Rock live on Product Hunt today. This could not have been possible without the support of @kenzofong @wandile_mamba @burhanrashid52 @kacper_n @iqbalperkasa @tomasz_grzybowski @izabela_szotek and many other team members, users, partners, mentors & advisors, and others! 🙏 I wanted to take this opportunity to do a shout-out to everybody building a community or anyone who is passionate about building communities.👀 We've spoken with tons of community managers and members of open source projects, DAOs, and other projects to learn more about your day-to-day struggles: 1) Slack, Discord, and other messaging tools make communicating a lot easier, but can quickly become chaotic with no project management functionality. 2) It can be tricky to get everyone together and collaborating often requires hacky solutions or outdated systems. 3) Pricing can often be an issue as well as most tools require either expensive plans or put limitations on the free plan resulting in you losing messages/work. We think Rock can help, so let's connect if you're currently managing a community or thinking of creating one! 🙌 In return, we'll make it worth your while with resources and rewards to make managing & growing your community easier. 🚀 If this sounds interesting, let's connect on Rock: https://space.new/nicolaas Cheers and see you all around, Nico

Is this something similar to clickup? Or an alternative for teams?
Kenzo Fong
Hi @abid_unnisa, we're more messaging focused than ClickUp and we've heard from users who switched that they really like the more intuitive user experience on Rock. As for Teams, we work nicely not just with Microsoft services but also with Google, Dropbox, Figma, and a bunch of others.
Abid Unnisa
@kenzofong True, that definitely is a backlog of ClickUp. Would love to explore Rock.
Kenzo Fong
@abid_unnisa now is a good a time as any :) and if you ever need help just send us a message through https://space.new/hello! What are your main issues with ClickUp?

Great service constantly improving, great staff and vision and love the features! It is the only service my team relies on and it has been pitch perfect thank you!
Nico Spijker
@pissy_ham Super thrilled to have you with us on Rock and thank you so much for the kind words! What is your favorite Rock feature so far?
robocop
@nicolaas_spijker the integration with pabbly honestly, the webhooks bot is also wonderful. These features set it apart from all the others. Plus it all just works.
Nico Spijker
@pissy_ham Super cool to hear! Any feature suggestions or new functionality that you would like to see moving forward?
robocop
@nicolaas_spijker well one thing would be to let the bot/webhook (Pabbly) send a message to the space, I get making a note and creating a task, but that is the only thing that is missing for me (which says a lot because I use a lot of the features.) One distant second would be to add more notification sounds to mobile (iOS) and MacOS, though I love the default because it is very distinctive from the other alert sounds.
Nico Spijker
@pissy_ham New notifications sounds are actually on the roadmap! Webhooks allow you to send messages, could you maybe send a message to the support space so someone from the team can help you out with that?

Hey ?makers, where did the idea come from? Congrats on the launch! 🤙
Nico Spijker
@galaxyx7 You have probably noticed a big shift in how people perceive working with movements like remote work, the great resignation and quiet quitting being trending topics. As the workplace evolves, so should the tools that we employ on our day-to-day to get work done. The more you can do in the same place the more effective, and how teams collaborate has changed so much that we need to change our approach to collaborating online. @kenzofong Originally came up with the idea as a solution for people spending too much time in meetings or unproductive time. We hope to improve people's day-to-day activities to maximize for deep work while minimizing distractions. You can actually learn more about it in this article: https://rock.so/blog/stop-slacki... Super curious if your workflows have also changed in the last few years and how you're approaching the future of work with your own teams. :)
