Howdy Strangers,
My name is Ian Mechura. I am a software developer in the process of designing and launching a team communication and collaboration product.
I came up with the idea by constantly being bombarded by unnecessary emails at every company I have worked.
Dealing with an overflowing inbox has caused lots of pain over the years and now I have set out to do my part to right the situation.
My intention is not to compete with or replace email. I think that email is a useful tool, its just misused because often it is the only thing available.
Take a moment to look at the product goals and tell me what you think
Product Goals:
- Relieve the burden of email misuse
- Provide an alternative to spamming an organization with automated emails
- Reduce the loss of valuable information scattered in individual employee inboxes
- Allow the individual to filter content instantly based on their preferences in a personalized and centrally located feed.
- Facilitate targeted distribution of information.
- Create only a single record for each message to reduce storage and bandwidth usage
In my next few posts I will describe specific cases where emails where misused and how they impacted my work life.
