Hey ProductHunters! 👋
I’m Seth, one of the founders of Flat, and we’re excited to share it with you today and get your feedback!
Our motto is: simpler is better.
We built Flat out of frustration with the complicated project management tools we’ve used at previous jobs — things like Asana, Monday, ClickUp, Jira, etc. What we wanted was a simple shared space where we could organize our work, make priorities clear, and stay aligned as a team, without all the friction and complexity.
So we set out to build a tool that was so simple and easy to use that anyone could pick it up within five minutes. Our strategy for achieving this has been to combine familiar, proven concepts like collaborative document editing, status tracking, comment threads, and kanban boards. As a result, Flat feels immediately familiar, and new users can hit the ground running.
Flat also doesn’t aim to be an “everything app”. Instead, it complements the apps you use and love by serving as the home base that ties them all together. Don’t write blog posts in Flat — that’s what Google Docs is for! But do use Flat to capture the goals for each post, and track them through their lifecycle. Don’t hold brainstorming sessions in Flat — that’s what Miro is for! But do use Flat to keep track of the whiteboards for later reference. Don’t hang out and celebrate wins in Flat — that’s what Slack is for! But do use Flat to ask questions or raise issues on a topic without worrying about balls getting dropped.
Flat isn’t done; we’re hard at work making it better every day. But we think it’s ready for you to check it out, and we’d be grateful for any feedback you have to share in the comments below! We’ll be here all day to answer questions.
Hey Seth, Excited to see how Flat can streamline team collaboration without the usual complexity. Good luck...
Fantastic tool! It offers simple, delightful, and collaborative work tracking, making project management a breeze. Perfect for teams looking to stay organized and work together efficiently. Highly recommend for enhancing productivity and team collaboration.
Congrats on your PH launch.
Just created an account. So far I find the interface very smooth and simple!
Great application. But per user per month pricing is a no-no for me. Just bill for a storage, or just allow a handful number of users with that storage combined. Such as 100 GB storage + 10 users = one single monthly bill. However, great job again.
Team, congrats! What is the process for integrating new features into Flat while maintaining its simplicity and ease of use?
I've been a beta user for some time. I love Flat. It's simple. It does everything a project management tool needs to do and doesn't get in my way.
Great job on launching Flat! Can you share more about the features that make it stand out from other project management tools? How do you keep teams aligned without being intrusive?
It seems like a helpful project. Instead of lengthy status updates, we can all log into it and see real-time updates on project progress, saving us valuable time.
It's not trying to be everything to everyone, which means it stays true to its core mission of keeping projects organized and teams aligned.
Looks super exciting! A sleek design, easy to navigate: just what the teams need to stay organized. I also love it that you offer a free plan for smaller teams. Best of luck with the launch and the product, folks!
The ability to create custom workflow in it has been a game-changer for tailoring the platform to fit our unique project management needs. It adapts to us, not the other way around.
Congrats on the launch! Flat sounds like a dream for simplifying project management without the usual headaches. Can't wait to see how it evolves with user feedback. Best of luck!
Helpful tool! Since switching to this tool, our team morale has improved. We feel more in control of our workload and deadlines, which has reduced stress and improved our overall productivity.
The pricing structure of this tool is fair and transparent. We know exactly what we're paying for and we're not hit with surprise fees for additional features or users.
It's user interface is so intuitive that even team members who are less tech-savvy have quickly adapted to using it. This ease of adoption has been crucial for our team's productivity.
The ability to set priorities and deadlines in it ensures that we're always focused on what matters most. It helps us avoid getting bogged down by less urgent tasks.
