This looks to be rewrapped version of the open source knowledge base Outline: https://www.getoutline.com https://www.getoutline.com / https://github.com/outline/outline https://github.com/outline/outline
Specifically, their editor is a separate component: https://github.com/outline/rich-markdown-editor https://github.com/outline/rich-markdown-editor
I assumed this was a clever marketing product from the outline team, but it seems to be entirely separate.
- m12k 6y agoAnd Outline already has Slack-integration. So someone ported the Slack integration to Teams and is selling it as a new product? Clever, if a bit provocative. I wonder if there'll still be a market for it once Outline gains Teams support as well.
- martin_a 6y agoEh? Outline is that service that improves news-reading, isn't it? https://www.outline.com https://www.outline.com Maybe people should really start thinking about better product names?!?
- Hitton 6y ago1) outline.com is the one that appears to be newer 2) people shouldn't expect to have a patent on generic English words
- NoSorryCannot 6y agoTrademark. There are a great many that are generic words. Fortunately they are limited to the markets the owner is participating in and the consumer confusion test relieves trademark squatting somewhat.
- martin_a 6y ago1) I don't know which one is newer, outline.com is just the one that I know, never heard about the other one. 2) That's right! Nevertheless we have a problem where there are either 2...n software solutions with the same name (like here) or where the names are so fictional that you'd never guess what the software is about when hearing the name. My point was: Let's find better ways to name our app/software, so that it's clearer which one we are talking about.
