Comment on Show HN: Daily email summaries to keep up with your teamparent

Comments

We've seen Peak, and it's encouraging that there are others in the automated productivity space. There are a few major differences between us and them, however:

Peak focuses on the individual. We focus on the team. There was an excellent article today (http://marcgg.com/blog/2013/11/12/peak-productivity/) discussing the issue with ranking team members based on their output, especially when information is far from complete. We're trying to boost productivity by demonstrating momentum, instead of by micromanaging individual players.

We are not a destination site; we're a passive email that does not interrupt anyone's workflow. Just check your email (on the phone, even) and you'll know what's going on with your team -- you don't have to keep a tab open and keep checking back to find out what's going on.

Finally, we're engineers, not a design firm. We move and ship very fast. We will respond to changes in user needs and behavior instantly, releasing/changing/removing features and applications as necessary.

Good answer :)
