Seems cool but this is the exact type of product from Google I would worry about getting sunset. Maybe it’s the first product announcement that I would actually not demo because of the constant droning about shuttered systems in use by millions of people. There might be an sla or lifecycle disclosure that is different from my perception but you know what they say about perception!?
Concerns aside I like the idea of building this on top of the document management system/repository. I often feel like task mgmt and pm tools do a poor job of managing documents and files at scale. A good example of this is Basecamp. It’s a great tool for simple small projects but when it comes to multi stakeholder teams and long running projects the file mgmt side suffered.
Good job on the product. I hope Google can fix the perception problem.

- edparso 8y agoHi social-quotient, I understand your feeling, I've been spending the last month moving back to Gmail after hearing Inbox will be sunset. This will not happen to Ripley. And thank you for identifying the problem between purely pm software and then purely storage software. Once you hit a real scale it can quickly become unmanageable. We originally developed Ripley to help us manage all the spec documents our clients were sending us and then changing regularly. At one or two it was manageable, yet to check each doc for changes or to rely on clients sending us messages or comments became unworkable very quickly. Ripley manages that by understanding the underlying doc is not just a URL. It's a google drive file with a rich API Ripley can interact with.
