Looking great. Big fan of Quip and used every major collaboration/note tool under the sun.
Smart:
- easy pinning and @mentioning
- awesome to have a desktop Ping notification
- slack integration can be a game changer if you use it right
- good interface
Missing:
- I personally can't stand the name. 'i sent it on Slite', 'it's mentioned on Slite', 'I Slited you the doc'. Nope.
- quick ways to change formatting (or, I couldn't find the shortcut if they're available)
- Excited to see other integrations beyond Slack
- Excited to see other ways to customize interface (colors, fonts)
- Can we get embedded tables?
Hi @alexscottco thanks for the thorough feedback !
Try also to link to another note with @+note name, super useful, especially to have wiki-like indexes ;)
For the missing points :
- Duely noted for the name ;)
- all the shortcuts are listed in the right bottom of the app, give them a try !
- One of the core feature will be its API. get ready for a LOT of new integrations ;)
- unfortunately we won't include colors or font selection to keep a super simple & readable format for everyone
- and yes absolutely for the tables, the feature will be coming soon !
Thanks again for raising those points !
@christophepas Thanks for your feedback, will poke around!

@mentioning@alexscottco thank you for the feedback. How different is Slite from Quip in terms of functionalities ? my whole team is using Quip at the moment and I am always enthusiastic at the idea to upgrade and migrate towards a better platform, but I need to make sure it is really pertinent for us to do so...
@mentioning@a_sky TBH when I'm looking to introduce tools in a team environment, I look at app speed & stability (table stakes), market share (how widely is it used already) and product stage (how likely is it to be around in 2-3 years). Newer products may out-innovate on features, but of course is more of a gamble. Switching costs for teams is high, so I would start piloting with an eager subset and see if anything sticks.
I used it everyday for months and it's just a game changer. Everything is now in Slite. I tried before Google Docs (bad search, slow, memory nightmare), Notes, Evernote and tons of other note editor but Slite is way better than any other solution.
It's a no brainer, try it, you'll see.
Pros:
Wiki+Slack+Evernote have made a baby, it's name is Slite!
Cons:
Lack of offline support and mobile version

Hey!
This is looking really good. However I'm not tempted enough to install it and try because it's always a big thing to migrate all your note-taking habits somewhere.
And I don't see the added value compared to Notion.so
Can you quickly explain me?
Maxime
@maximepico@christophepas I have the exact same question. Currently my team uses Notion for this use case, and all of our notes are in there. Do you make it easy to switch? And what makes you better than Notion so that it would be worthwhile to evaluate a new tool? At first glance they appear to have many of the exact same features.
But overall, great work! It looks very slick and useful, so don't take my above comment as discounting your work.
@maximepico@nneuman Hi Nick & Maxime !
Thanks both for your question ;) One big difference is its simplicity : put Slite in the hands of any team and they will use it, because it's a note app.
Notion in comparison has always impressed me as a product person, but most non-product people just can't get it and are overwhelmed by it.
The other super important difference is that it's not only focused on the content but on your team's interactions : you'll get notified when other users ping you on note, mention you in comments and so on.
And eventually, Slite pushes you your team's content updates, by showing you channels and notes with updates in an highlighted way. It allows you to feed from your team's knowledge when you want, and stay updated.
Today we don't allow you to import documents or notes from another tool, but we'll soon release the first version of our API which will make it super easy ;)
Give it a try, and feel free if you have any other questions !
Slite has completely changed the way we work in our team. We have been hardcore users since the very beginning, and we can't switch back to anything else. It's the perfect combination of Gdocs, Notes and Slack, to manage all the knowledge in your team and collaborate effectively. Great job from the team, especially with the new design! This is probably just the first version of a potentially amazing tool
I've been using Slite for a couple of weeks in beta, and I've come to like the product a lot – it's pretty much the perfect collaborative mashup of competing note taking apps. The new design freshened things up a bit, and the team's motivation makes me confident that there's some cool stuff on the horizon. Congrats on the launch!
We use Slite since the very beginning - this is our collaborative note app. This is where we stock our knowledge base, where I take my personal notes also.
The product is changing rapidly and the team takes our feedback into account, we love it at Spendesk :)
Pros:
Very convenient to share notes with your teammates and create your knowledge base! Easy to use, rapidly evolving product, nice team :)
Cons:
Hm we need to make personal effort to keep it clean and organized!

Actually I'd like the offline mode!! I would appreciate working on Slite in the "TGV"
We've been using Slite for months and we're completely hooked. The value porposition is clear and simple. There are huge benefits of switching to Slite to centralize all your team's content and knowledge. It made us save countless hours of iterations on Slack, where direct chat is not appropriate for collaborating on content.
Pros:
Clean design, real time editing, incredibly easy to onboard, combines benefits of multiple platforms, native macOS app
Cons:
Mobile app

Before: Notes, Slack (in multiple conversations), Evernote, Dropbox Paper, Google Drive, Github wikis and Gists, emails.
Now: Slite.
Pros:
makes it super easy to keep info in one place & it's very intuitive and slick
I've been using Slite since the launch of their beta, one year ago.
The product constantly improved and became part of my daily life. Since their huge work on performance improvement, Slite is actually the first note app that made me switch from my good old pen and paper routine to take notes on the fly. Hats off to them!
Pros:
Gets out of your way.
Cons:
I can think of some ways to make me win even more time with small UX improvements. I'm sure the team is on it.
🙏🏻 Slite wouldn't be the same without your precise feedbacks Laurent

I've been using Slite for more than 6 months now and it drastically change the way I take notes and share it amongst my teammate! Literally a no-brainer if you share a lot ok knowledge in your company! Keep up the good work!
Pros:
Enabled me to streamline my note management in a rather radical way - I can finally found a note in a note app... :p
