Show HN: Capire – Private twitter for work communication
- fiatjaf 10y agoThis is nice. I've thinking about something like this for some time and finally someone made it. I know there have been a lot of similar solutions in the past, but no one is nearly as simple as this. I'm not a potential customer, however, but I guess there will be many.
- chengchelo 10y agoThanks for checking this out. Really nice to know it's been thought of. Wouldn't it be interesting to put this to work? Besides, I am also longing to know if the paradigm shift in the tool may change the way we communicate. Here we're not pushing information towards people, we can write with more insights and less concern on who might read it. Instead we pull what's good and worth to read. Implicit transparency was something I hope this brings, which may not be possible if not the default nature of the tool, and shall be beneficial to everyone within. Wouldn't that be cool?
- mrmondo 10y agoNice idea, but if it's not self hosted - it's not private.
- chengchelo 10y agoI agree, and it can be more private. So far private is more on level of not being public accessible, but only by invite. Implementation-wise it can be self hosted and safeguarded, like a private instance in public cloud or even on-premises. Options kept open but not pursued at first. Probably room for tweaking on the tagline, certainly don't want to mislead potential users. Is there a better way to say this in tagline for the invite-only usage but not touching the security sense?
- fiatjaf 10y agoNot all companies would like to self-host all the things. In fact, I guess it is only a minor part of _tech_ companies. This tool is for all others too.
- chengchelo 10y agoTotally, this is clearly going that path. Provided as a service has been popular theme possibly because it benefits both the service provider and adopter, for efficiency and simplicity respectively. At early stage this seems the best entry to start with.
- JeffreyKaine 10y agoSo, Yammer circa 2010?
- chengchelo 10y agoIt wasn't set to be a social network like Yammer, but solely on messaging. From my view it works in quite different way for users to discuss on this than on Yammer. But thanks for mentioning, probably need to show the differences for people to be interested.
- JeffreyKaine 10y agoYammer started out as Twitter for the enterprise and soon morphed into Facebook for the enterprise after it was clear that clearly threaded and grouped conversations helped the user stay in context and follow multiple important conversations. Sorry, didn't mean to be inflammatory.
- chengchelo 10y agoGot it. Guess I was a bit late to Yammer as it was already morphed then. Wish I knew and took this into consideration early. Still useful now, and thanks a lot for the share.
