Twist 1.0 - More productive messaging for teams

Twist is the communication tool for teams that need to protect their time to create. It's designed to be more focused with structured channels and threads. There’s more to work than keeping up with group chat all day.

Why have two different tabs of "threads" and "messages". Don't threads have messages in them. Also, I am unable to see how this is different from a very shiny email client..

How does this differ from a forum or message board?

Well, i've always believed that there is more to collaboration than chat and this looks incredibly promising. Will give it a shot and all the best guys.

Great work on this! It reminds me of Unison. Would you consider adding tasks to this?

Solving the other TL:DR (too lost didn't read) problem. Bravo guys, looking forward to kicking the tires on this app.

@amix3k nice to see you all getting some love here on PH. I was in the beta back in February and really appreciate the UX/UI. TL;DR What about people who refuse to leave email but still need to be in the loop? What about teams/projects comprised of hundreds of third party individuals? A challenge I face (and imagine others do as well) is working in an industry where many people are "old school" and technology is often considered foreign and intimidating. These people don't want to be "onboarded", they just want a response or to respond. I believe that is why they will never leave email. I struggle with: A) a small team that is not tech savvy and is slow to move beyond any "known" tech (Office 365 is as far as they have stretched) B) a partner network with even less desire to evolve than my team. About 80% of my work involves people outside my team. Getting either set to adopt a new app/program/tool is highly unlikely. Basically, I am stuck with email users. I couldn't find a way with Doist products to bridge the gap between the people who refuse to leave email behind and the few people willing to join Twist (Slack, Ryver, Flock, Tribecube, Glip, Todoist, etc.) With some solutions such as Yammer, people can correspond in chats via email. Any plans to address this challenge? Am I the only one? The bigger challenge that I faced with Twist is the way it deals with non-team member collaboration. On any given project we have a revolving door of outside collaborators. The names and addresses on relevant emails change daily. There could be as many as 20 people on one email and 10 more on a different email. If each of the people involved in this one conversation had to be invited to Twist at $5 a pop, you can see how this quickly becomes impractical. I see Twist as being great for small teams and internal collaboration, but unless I have missed something, I haven't discovered how it can work for a business that works with shifting third parties 80%+ of the time. In Ryver we can invite an unlimited number of outside partners for any given project/conversation. Is Twist just not the right tool for us?
