Paste: Making slides simple
- mderazon 9y agoThis looks a lot like the new pinkish Dropbox re brand. So much that I was sure it's a new Dropbox product. They also have a product called "Paper" which confused me even more
- hboon 9y agoTo be far to FiftyThree, between the 2 of them (and only the 2 of them), FiftyThree used it first https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7171724 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7171724
- stevievee 9y agoTo me, this is a super niche product. As expected (from fiftythree), the apps are beautiful. However I found the lack of editing features to be "limiting" as opposed to "simple". The collaboration aspect is interesting but definitely not at $8/month per user. It might be a nice to have but existing productivity suites (from bigger players) have significant overlap of features. This is coming from someone who uses the "Paper" app (also by fiftythree) religiously on my iPad Pro.
- crispyporkbites 9y agoSuper niche? PowerPoint slides are the format of choice for communication and thinking in the corporate world. If Paste could take even 1-2% of that market they would have it made.
- banned1 9y agoEverybody thinks they can get 1% !
- SerLava 9y agoHa yeah. If it was easy to get 1%, then a hundred more people will enter the market after you and take 1% each and leave you with nothing :)
- stevievee 9y agoI called it "Super niche" as a nice way of saying "borderline useless for most people"
- nasredin 9y agoDo these hip young companies realize how much historians are gonna be pissed at them? "Paste" "53" or is it "fifthythree"? What happened to being unique? Or even searchable FFS!
