Current increases your team’s visibility on the work happening across the company. Designers, Engineers, and PMs can share work from Figma, Loom, Miro, Notion, Drive, Github, and more. Weekly AI-powered summaries keep the whole team aligned and informed.
So proud of everyone on the team for building what Current is today! Over the past few months we’ve been exploring how to better include and enable the workflows of non-design roles. Adding CodeSandbox and CodePen integrations has enabled our engineering to easily share examples, tips and recipes. We’ve also added a GitHub integration which, to the joy of all PMs and engineers out there, posts automatically for you!
There are so many things that we’re working on, and I can’t wait for us to show you the next thing that we’re cooking up! I’m incredibly grateful for being a part of this amazing team! 🫶
Hit me up if you have any questions, I’ll be around.
Wanted to also throw a big shoutout to @lea_schwegler who completely revamped our brand in under 2 weeks! 🙌. Our goal was to stand out from the popular aesthetic many startups are going for these days...how do you think we did? 😅
I have been using Current for a while now, and I am consistently thrilled to see the incredible work being done by everyone in my team. The ability to gain visibility into the projects and tasks of my fellow colleagues has significantly boosted our team spirit, making collaboration a more enjoyable and rewarding experience.
Feeling incredibly grateful to be a part of this team and to witness the journey of our product!
Hey folks! I'm Scott, one of the cofounders of Current 👋
Since January 2022, we've been in a private beta, developing Current to help product-led teams increase visibility and alignment on the work happening across their company. Our team consists of people from places like Coinbase, Meta, Shopify, InVision, Coursera, and more. Whether the companies were small, medium, or large, we each experienced the same issues:
Duplicate efforts: ICs from Team A and Team B work on similar problems without realizing it, missing out on opportunities to collaborate and share knowledge.
Lack of work visibility for leadership: Heads of department, VPs, and Execs don’t know where to find the latest work. To address this, middle management spend hours each week creating time-consuming reports by gathering links, images, and summaries from the team.
Limited insight for other roles: Sales, Support, and other departments only see the product when it's about to be released. They totally miss out on opportunities to use any knowledge of how the product is currently evolving in their interactions with existing or potential customers.
This year more than ever it’s important for teams to have extremely high output and not waste time with processes around the actual work. We believe the most high-performing teams have an open and collaborative culture where ideas are shared early and often— and we’ve built Current to facilitate this:
One feed to view updates from dozens of tools: Share and view work from various tools like Figma, Loom, Notion, Miro, Mural, Google Drive, Github, Codepen, Codesandbox, Protopie, Rive, and Spline. Our integrations let you do things like post directly from Figma or Figjam using our plugin or automatically post to Current when pull requests in Github are merged. All posts are categorized into specific work-streams which can be followed to get a higher signal feed. No more getting lost in Figma files, trying to find links in Slack, or hunting through old emails.
Slack Integration: Broadcast posts to various channels so cross-functional partners are looped in, set up reminders to facilitate rituals around sharing updates, and get notifications for important activity on Current. We plan on adding support for Teams and other chat tools soon.
AI-powered weekly summaries: Current automatically generates weekly summaries from the posts that were shared throughout the week. No need to spend time crafting lengthy update emails—everyone is automatically notified when the new weekly summary is ready. Watch video
We’re super excited to celebrate tearing off our beta badge today by launching on Product Hunt! Our product will remain free until 2024, so we hope you try it out! 🙏 Special thanks for @chrismessina for hunt 🙌
We’ll be hanging out in the comments for any questions or feedback—would love to hear from you! 👇
I am excited to see what the future holds for Current. I believe that this product has the potential to make a real difference in the world, and I am confident that the team at Current will continue to innovate and push the boundaries of what is possible.
@scottsavarie & ?makers congratulations on this launch. Clear communication is key, especially for remote teams. looking forward to give this a try!
Actually cool SaaS that fills a need I've had weekly that can lead to unnecessary friction in teams. Nice! Can't wait to try.
Current is a great way to share in-flight work with your whole team. The Slack integrations, Weekly Drops, and work Streams make Current a powerful tool for getting on the same page.
Unlock visibility and efficiency with Current - a powerful tool to keep your team aligned and informed. What have you included in your AI-powered weekly summaries?
This resonates a lot. People spend SO much time working to prove that they're...working.
Love how this is looking and excited to give it a try. Congrats @scottsavarie & team!
Congrats! Current looks like an amazing product. Can't wait to see how it helps teams stay aligned and informed.
Love Current and the team. I need to stay on top of WIP and Current is the perfect tool for that. Hunting through figma files to get a sense of the work is so tedious. Current helps me stay, well, current.
The team are incredibly responsive and have made our experience incredible.
Very cool. Are the AI weekly summaries just based on the changes that were made (i.e. links added etc) to Current? Or does it updated on changes to the underlying connected resources?
great job!!! any tool or process that facilitates and optimizes interactions within a company translates into effective communication and keeps us all informed and connected. thanks a lot. keep it up!!!!
