Show HN: Jaypad.io – Planning stuff Slack style

[oeuviz]

This looks interesting! Not sure yet how I feel about the (missing) password authentication. Instead a mail with a login code is sent (which seems to work for this.. )

[schwartzworld]

It makes sense to me. Once you have access to my email, you can just reset almost any password you want, so is the password actually more secure?

As a consumer, it means one less password to remember, and I don't have to worry about how securely they store them.

[DerKobe]

To be honest, I don't know either. We wanted to try this type of authentication because of the quick-onboarding style.

Can you summarize or refer me to a summary on how this platform compares to others?

I'm most interested to see how it tackles these points:

- Profitability - Digital Sustainability (Guaranteeing that the user can use it in the future) - Interop with other platforms - Privacy

[DerKobe]

I will try to give you a very brief summary for your points. If you need anything else, just ask a follow up.

- Profitability: We have plans for paid features which are not yet available at this point (kind of micro transactions per jaypad).

- Digital Sustainability (Guaranteeing that the user can use it in the future): To be honest, none. This product is still in beta and as long as it has no sustainable funding it will not have the other one too.

- Interop with other platforms: None at the moment, but we have plans that users can write their own modules for the clipboard side of the jaypad which will open a whole new universe of interop with other things (kind of like Slack-Bots with GUI).

- Privacy: You have the link you have access. It's that simple. But one of the planed paid features is privacy related (no access without invitation, read/write restrictions, private areas, etc.).

[DerKobe]

On the point "how this platform compares to others": Think of it as a combination of single-Slack-channel/WhatsApp-Group-Chat on the one side and a EtherPad/Doodle/DropBox on the other side.

Separate noisy chat from writing down facts and stuff you would like to be able to access later on (try this in a WhatsApp-Chat or Slack-channel).

Just a head's up, there's a large typo in your main example image (Ressources -> Resources)

[DerKobe]

Oh! Thanks for pointing out. Not shure if it's a "large" typo ... I didn't write "rezorzs" ;-)

[andrewSC]

Interesting. I get a pretty Google Wave (but improved) vibe from it!

[DerKobe]

I liked Google Wave a lot and it is partly inspired by it.

[athenot]

Just get a blank page. Safari on mac.

[DerKobe]

Hmm strange. I just tried with Safari 13.04 and it worked for me. Which version do you use?

[andrewSC]

FF 72.0b11 is working for me
