A note-taking app for technical teams

[domino]

Mircea, CEO and co-founder of Memo here. We're super excited to announce Memo!

Memo is a note-taking app for technical teams. With Memo it’s quick and easy to save and find code snippets, meeting notes, links, Slack messages, or other short work notes – right inside Slack or on the web.

You can write notes using both Markdown and Slack formatting, including @users, #channels and :emoji:. Organize them in boards, and even link different boards and notes between each other for quick access. All boards can either be kept private or shared with your Slack team.

We're looking forward to hear your feedback or questions!

P.S. We have full support for Slack's new message menus feature: https://blog.memo.ai/10x-your-slack-apps-ux-with-message-men...

I want to add this so that my team can check it out, but I'm very very hesitant because that would mean Memo would be able to see the contents of those notes along with any metadata.

We have very sensitive information in notes and can't afford to widen the surface area of possible data leaks. Sure, Slack might get hacked - that's still an issue.....but adding even more untrusted, unpaid services that can read our information is not a great path to go down.

I think it would be huge if you would add a small video or gif to the homepage. I'm having a hard time understanding how the UI works by looking at the screenshot and I find that is critical to me making a decision for a note taking app.

[domino]

That's a good point! We used to have a video, but it was hard to maintain, but we should revisit that.

We have some different graphics in our Slack App Directory description: https://slack.com/apps/A0G9XHRE0-memo-notes-at-work - do you find these more helpful?

Sign up ... "ok" ...with Slack ... "no"

[domino]

Why not?

[Odenwaelder]

Why would I post proprietary code in your app? I don't know about your security measures.

[lima]

Yep. Not going to happen at any reasonably paranoid organization.

Really wanted to test it out but asks to signup using slack, could not join(Currently, I do not have a team to join or login). You should alahways a demo or something; or at least some really simple login/signup!

[domino]

Sorry to hear, we are planning to add G Suite and GitHub sign-in soon.

If you'd like to get a better idea of the product you can check out the graphics in our Slack App Directory description: https://slack.com/apps/A0G9XHRE0-memo-notes-at-work

We also have more screenshots on our blog: https://blog.memo.ai/

You might want to consider Twitter integration (different target, I know) but you'd solve a huge problem of size limit of 140 chars which people are solving by posting images of text. Also far fewer issues of proprietary content and confidentiality.

[domino]

We haven't considered that so far since our focus is on technical teams at work, but it's an interesting idea

> Memo is free for teams of all sizes while in beta.

Sounds ominous.

[domino]

Sorry, English is not my first language. What would be a better way to phrase it?

[artur_makly]

why is this better than free trello?

[domino]

Good question! We're focused on different use-cases (note-taking vs. project management), as well as a narrower niche (technical teams vs. any group of people, teams, families, etc.).

We use both Trello and Memo in our and the usage is quite complementary.

Do you use Trello for note-taking at work?
