This is a great tool. I've used Google Docs in the past to collaborate with others on an idea. It's not real time and there are often conflicts.
The interface is great (while some design work might help). Seemingly trivial things like the search for an idea as I'm typing one is brilliant and keeps dups from showing up. I haven't done this in a collaborative manner just yet but am inviting a friend now.
This is a great service for free. I would consider paying for it if it really does help make the brainstorming and collaboration of an idea easier. The cost would have to be nominal though, since other methods still work even though they're might not be as effective.
Additionally, it would be nice to invite someone by email address in addition to a username. I have to email or IM my friend to sign up and then wait to get his username and then add him. Would be great if I could enter an email address and it would ask them to sign up and automatically add them to the idea.
Not sure I love the name though.
- jbr 17y agoTry inviting jbr to your list and I'll come interact with you to show you live updating features.
- jmathai 17y agoThat's really sweet :). An IRC style chat on the left column would be a nice addition. Nothing fancy, just a way to message / chat about the ideas. It could even be auto-update message board for the idea.
- jbr 17y agoThis is now a high-priority feature for us; I see the value in this. We usually have campfire open at the same time, but it really is tied to the brainstorming process.
- jbr 17y agoYou can invite people by email address and Stormweight will send them an invite. When they sign up, they'll go straight to your list.
- jmathai 17y agoNot sure why I didn't see that it explicitly said email address. Awesome. I can also see value in a mobile version of this app.
- jbr 17y agoWe have an iPhone app in the works and are working on beefing up the email integration so you can send commands and requests by email, since all smartphones have strong email clients. Right now you can add ideas to lists by email and request the names of your lists by email. Next up is the ability to request the group's merged favorites by email. Thanks for your input!
