Congrats to this team on launching! As someone who has his team's knowledge spread apart in so many different areas (dropbox, my desktop, gdrive, box), I've first hand seen the problem of not being able to find the answers to the questions I often have. I was waiting for something like this to come around.

Our team has used Slack for a few months and it's been a pleasure. They are very responsive and quick and transparent about new feature updates.

Pros:

- Quick to set up, create a structure and write articles

- Supports tagging for more flexible organization

- Lightweight and easy to use

Cons:

- Lacking certain components and integrations

This is dank. Between GDrive + Gmail + Slack + Confluence I can't f**king find anything I need. This is actually the best thing ever. And it looks great, some real design chops going on.

Awesome, have always found it a pain to produce a proper knowledge base.

Hi @jhchen, this seems similar to Tettra (https://tettra.co). Can you highlight some of your differentiators? Thanks.
Jason Chen
@tlazay One main difference is Tettra seems to be content with a single player editing experience. Our perspective on Slab is collaboration is crucial to producing high quality content. Our users love using our inline commenting to solicit and give feedback on content and real-time collaboration gives everyone the peace of mind they are always looking at the latest and no one will overwrite anyone else’s work.

Hi @jhchen, I'm currently looking at tools for my team to document our processes and knowledge. Slab looks quite interesting, well done! I've been trying quite a few similar products in the last weeks and I have to say I'm struggling to get my head around what makes each tool unique / better for what use case etc. For example, I'm currently trying Slite (https://slite.com/) which does look (and sound) quite similar. Would you be able to help me understand what makes Slab different in your opinion?

@mnstefan jumping in for @jhchen here :) Thanks for the kind words! You're right, there are definitely a lot of writing tools out there and the differences can be nuanced. Perhaps the biggest difference between Slab and other tools like Slite, Notion and Quip is that we don't try to be the only tool in your stack. Slab both searches across your other services and lets you embed content from them - we already have tight integrations with Google Drive, Slack, GitHub and are working through our list to add more like Trello, JIRA, Asana and more. For example, pasting a Google Sheet in a Slab post can lead to some serious magic, you should try it 🔮 Slite seems to have a good answer for personal and collaborative notetaking with their UX and apps on mobile, desktop. However, if you're looking for a tool that will work well with all the preferences of people on your team and help you keep things together when there's an inevitable proliferation of tooling, Slab might be a better bet.
