It is basically a file messenger. It's cool because it lets you turn files and links you share into one easy to read feed. So that later you would know who sent what, when and why. Think of it as a shared folder with a messenger built-in. It also looks and works great.
Thank you for your comment, we are requiring minimum info from you Google account (we have this option for the sake of convenience) and you can always sign up with just an email.
Thank you very much. That is a very insightful way of providing feedback.
Staply is not made for teams, it is a much simpler tool made for regular people who just want to share and discuss files in a group.
Now they have to use FB chat, shared folders, email or even tools for teams and we want to make the whole process easier and more enjoyable for them. Especially when it comes to finding and understanding files/links that were sent previously.
Staply is not made for teams :) It is more for freelancers/student/speakers/... for all kinds of their use cases when they need to share several files and links with a group of people and have a context of who shared what when and why.
Nowadays they get a link in some cloud storage send it via email that you loose it and if you want to add one more person into the discussion it becomes messy. Or they use FB chat that doesn't work in many cases. etc.
We personally use Staply together with other instant messengers/chats and use it more like a shared folder. So like i share files(and discuss them a bit) in Staply but discuss daily routine in IM.
Slack is a complex tool made for teams of developers and we are a more lightweight solution, made for regular people, with a focus on file sharing and file organization.
Thanks for a clickable link ;)
We see Staply as something like a shared folder with annotations. It is made specifically for file-sharing and it gives you a possibility to add context to the files you share.
Later it is possible to filter out just files and in one click get to the place where they was discussed.
Page itself looks nice, but why you've decided to have a custom scroll? I think it would be so much better without it. Will try to look into app itself later.
