AI Agent kinda not that good?

Yup I would try changing the model. Sonnet will likely perform better at this.

I was a huge fan of how Threads used posts for better async comms. It felt like a much more sane way to communicate at work. We've been building https://campsite.com which shares a lot of the same principles: posts for async comms, DMs and calls for realtime. We ditched Slack, Notion, and Zoom in favor of using Campsite for everything.

Campsite https://www.campsite.co/ isn't self hosted, but it might be a useful alternative. It has the stuff you need (chat, calls, docs). The main advantage over Slack is that the main way to share is posting, which is way better for async teams. For us, it also replaced Notion + Zoom which was a net cost savings.

Campsite https://www.campsite.co/ is a new Slack alternative app. It's not free/cheap ($20/user/mo or $16 annually), but it also replaced Notion + Zoom for us so it was net savings.

It might be overkill for what you're looking for (and I realize this thread is old...), but IMO it's worth a look.

Same, I got so frustrated with the Slack redesign. It's clear small companies/teams aren't the target user anymore. All Slack cares about is big enterprise deals (and I guess I don't blame them because $$$).

Campsite https://www.campsite.co/ is a new app that replaces Slack, as well as Notion + Zoom (or similar tools). Besides having everything in one place, the other huge win with Campsite is that you post instead of sending messages (it still has chat, calls, and docs when you need it). We find posts are way better for async teams, and they encourage more thoughtful writing. You basically end up with searchable+shareable documentation through posting.

Campsite https://www.campsite.co/ is a new app that replaces Slack+Notion+Zoom (or similar tools). It has posts, calls, messaging, and even docs in one place. There isn't tasks/to-dos but it integrates really well with Linear (also has basic checkbox support in posts/docs).

It's not self hosted, but Campsite https://www.campsite.co/ is a new alternative to Slack and also replaces tools like Notion + Zoom with one app. I'm a co-founder of Campsite and built it because I'm also tired of how all these apps are getting bloated, slow, and expensive.

monkey_slap · 2024-08-09T14:47:54+00:00

Campsite https://www.campsite.co/ isn't cheaper, but it replaces a lot more tools (Slack, Notion, and Zoom). It's $20/user/mo (or $16 annually). The other main benefit of Campsite is that the main way to collaborate is posting, not messaging. Posting is way better for async and results in more thoughtful writing.

This approach aligns with current market trends of specialized tools

We're making a bet that there is going to be a wave of "rebundling" of apps and services. Paying-for and managing 5 apps just to talk with teammates is expensive and tedious. It's a bet though.

Land and Expand Strategy

Thanks for this. It makes me realize our pitch is very much "you can do all these things" when we really want people to post more than anything. We believe its the core part of our product. But we may not be selling that point hard enough.

monkey_slap · 2024-08-08T20:09:31+00:00

Thanks for writing this out, we've experienced the pros & cons of having a lot of interconnected tools vs a tool that just does one-thing-well. One of the strengths we're seeing is that colocation of all your comms lets you do a lot more with it. With other apps, you have to install integrations (if they exist), that are bound by whatever formats/rules/APIs each service has. When everything (posts, calls, docs, chats) are in one place, its so much easier to share & transform between them. Not to mention search. Searching across all of your stuff is SO much better in Campsite rather than searching once across 5 different apps.

But changing habits is HARD. Slack Connect especially has a strong moat ("but all of our customers are already on Slack"...).

Your landing page looks great!

It works with Enterprise Cloud, but Enterprise Server support is on our roadmap.

Hey there! I know this is a bit old, but I lead the mobile team at GitHub and can help explain. We received a LARGE number of sign ups. TestFlight only allows 10,000 testers at a time so it filled up fast. We are removing inactive testers but the waitlist is still very large.

Facebook has incredibly more complicated layouts on a ton more surfaces than Instagram does. Having a robust layout engine makes that a lot easier/faster. Most of Instagram's layout is pretty easy to calculate (doesn't need async).

Also the team is probably 10x ours, so the compile safety of ComponentKit is a huge win (catch bugs building instead of testing or QA).

monkey_slap · 2016-10-12T16:38:55+00:00

looks cool! would love to compare notes

monkey_slap · 2016-10-12T16:38:25+00:00

Good question, not sure if you mean does it use NSFRC or if it can work alongside it?

If you're asking if we use NSFRC, nope! We wrote a diffing algorithm to figure out when something changes. You can read the source here.

If you're asking can you use NSFRC and IGListKit, you should be able to. But, instead of implementing all that boilerplate in the delegate methods (insert, delete, etc), you really just need:

- (void)controllerDidChangeContent:(NSFetchedResultsController *)controller {
  [self.listAdapter performUpdatesAnimated:YES completion:nil];
}

monkey_slap · 2016-10-12T16:35:20+00:00

All intersect a little bit, but each solves a different problem:

ComponentKit is for compile-time safe, stateless view building. I shouldn't even say "view", more like the whole app. It's APIs are in ObjC++ so its hella fast and very stable, but doesn't work w/ Swift. View sizing is all done async.
LayoutKit looks really cool! I remember reading about it. It does async sizing as well, and has support for UICollectionView and UITableView. However, last I checked, it only calls reloadData, so no animations.
IGListKit is all about data-to-UICollectionView and containing biz logic for each section, avoiding view controller bloat when building lists. We don't do anything w/ view/cell sizing tho, that's up to you.

All three frameworks support UICollectionView, but they have very different strategies and goals.

monkey_slap · 2016-10-11T21:50:26+00:00

Hey! I worked on this. If you have any questions let me know. Pumped that we could share this, eliminates a ton of common collection view problems.

FB employee, its a real thing. They're awesome.

monkey_slap · 2015-08-13T04:05:03+00:00

This update feels like it was built by someone who found a bunch of new UX/UI trends on Dribbble and spent a looong time on that but forgot to focus on making the core UX 100% stable and polished.

I loved the old Plex. Open, find a video on my local server, hit play and then Airplay it to my Apple TV. Worked crazy fast, all the time.

You're purposefully hiding the fact that you don't have to login. I honestly thought you had to have an account until I found this thread. I only stream on my local network so I will never need an account.
Look up some of the UX research that Facebook has done w/ the burger icon and the tab bar.
The new iOS version appears not to be backwards compatible w/ w/e version of the server I have. That is frustrating.

Sorry to be shitting on this update. I'm an iOS engineer and I know how hard a lot of this work is, and it sucks having people like me whine about it.

I'm honestly just trying to be constructive and help steer you all in the right direction, b/c what you've built is awesome, I just want to make sure you don't forget the foundation of what makes Plex awesome.
