Hi everyone. I've spent a big chunk of my life on apps like slack/discord/fb groups/whatsapp groups/telegram groups and i hate that they get useless after basically more than 50 people join them (tons of channels and red notifications bubbles and just the best people and content getting lost in the message stream, to the point i have to mute/archive them all).
so i'm launching a new desktop and mobile app to make the legacy apps obsolete for myself and for anyone else who resonates with my experience.
i come from the 3rd world and have spent most of my teenage years and all of my twenties trying to earn the right to move to a location with high talent density, and in the meantime i've heavily depended on these apps for giving myself and others like me an equal opportunity to be surrounded with the brightest people in my areas of interests, make authentic friendships and exchange knowledge and build competence *in spite of our location*.
in the process i've become really opinionated and insightful about why and how these apps fail, fallen in love with this problem/product space and business case and just gone all out to build a superior product that doesn't feel like the modern day cubicle or freaking yahoo messenger.
integral is new, and this is the public beta version. we could wait til feb to launch for more features to be available but we're launching it early to get some early adopters/clients to build this with/for and also to 10x luck.
on a high level, the app has 2 types of features and roadmaps: 1. communication features (posting/commenting/direct messaging etc.) and 2. knowledge/relationship transfer features.
communication features are ready enough that i migrated a paid founder community that i run from slack to integral.
knowledge/relationship transfer features are work in progress and i'm building them throughout nov and dec. also releasing our mobile app in Jan 2025.
thank you for your attention and support, i appreciate you.
