We built this because we feel email is still one of the most popular tools for casually reviewing and getting feedback from a group of people. Unfortunately, the “Re: Re: Re” reply chain becomes unwieldy after a while, and there’s always someone who “never got that email”. And once the replies starts trickling in you have to constantly consolidate the results.
We want FlowControl.io to be a collaborative document review tool through email. You can track everyone’s status through a live dashboard, people can respond on their phones or email, and our automatic reminders saves you from having to nag people. We’d love to know what you think about this idea!
- DontGiveTwoFlux 13y agoI'm a little confused by how this actually integrates with email. What will I see in my email when I use flowcontrol.io? What isn't in my email that requires going to the website to use? If I sign up, do my collaborators need to sign up as well? The more new technologies I'm exposed to, the more reluctantly I approach them. I think the idea can work - do more with email. But I want to know a little more before I sign up. That being said, I'm in the middle of a bylaws review with an organization I'm a part of. This may be a helpful tool, and I'll try it out.
- flowcontrolio 13y agoGot it! We're designing it so your collaborators don't have to sign up, to minimize friction for them, and should be able to address your other needs as well. Will follow up with you separately.
