Met with Tobi a few weeks ago and love the product!

Hey, Tobi from Stiki here. Today, I want to show you Stiki! I developed the initial version of Stiki earlier this year. After years of running a design agency and working with startups, Stiki was created to solve my own frustrating problem. See, every time we made a new hire, momentum stalled and focus wavered as we all (quite rightly) slowed down to get our new crew member settled in and ready to kick ass. Internal communications were a patched together mess of email, Slack, Google drive, and that late night SMS (which usually contained ideas for some of our best work). I knew we needed a process to streamline how we shared information and knowledge. A portal, where team members could not only go to get informed, but also to be inspired. Stiki is now available to everyone. - It's simple to use and intuitive - It's Login with Slack so no extra user accounts/logins needed - It works on every device so your team can access your company info from everywhere For our launch we offer you a Stiki lifetime license for unlimited users for only $100. Checkout www.thinkStiki.com to test the app up front. Let me know your thoughts and feedback!

@tbsthl Can't wait to use! I signed up but only received a receipt. Is there a welcome email coming? How do I access?
Tobias Theil
@pappas310 Hey Benjamin! Great to hear that. Just head over to https://app.stiki.io and Login with your Slack account - just spread that link with everyone in your team - no extra user accounts needed! I'll get in touch with you shortly. If you're interested we can get on an onboarding call to get you started and to tell you some best practices how other teams structure their Stiki! Keep me posted if there are any issues!
Tobias Theil
@pappas310 You need to confirm your email address. You received that email at 12:48 - afterwards you get the welcome email.
Andrew Vernon
@tbsthl hey Tobias! Great product.... saw it over the holidays and went back earlier this week to do the $100 once deal and couldn’t find it. Any way I could still do that? Would love to give this a try for my small team. Thanks!
Tobias Theil
@andrew_vernon Hey Andrew! Best thing to do is to start the trial and then reply to one of my emails you’ll get. I’m sure we can figure something out!
Yoann Lopez
I’ve been using stiki for a few months and I fell in love with it! Very simple. The best way to manage the knowledge of your company 😄 which is usually a real pain in the ass!
Tobias Theil
@yoann_lopez Happy to have you as one of the users from day 1! 💪
James Hunt
Awesome idea. This process for new hires is a big pain point for lots of companies I’ve been involved with 👍 What inspired the pricing plan?
Tobias Theil
@thetwopct It's still early for Stiki but the product is ready and fully useable. Now, instead of implementing the whole lifecycle of a subscription (trial, recurring payment, retention emails blablabla) we went for a fast launch and one time signup fee to make it also a sweat deal for our next bunch of users. Soon, we will work on the subscription. On that note it's also worth mentioning that I'm not a big fan of the classical per user/seat pricing. Knowledge management is for the whole team. I don't want to put anyone into the situation to decide if the new intern is worth the extra bucks per month so she/he can access Stiki and benefit from the content that your team curated there. That way, we have also Slack communities with > 1.000 users using Stiki. It's not only about "employee onboarding" but also "member onboarding". This would be impossible with a per seat pricing. And let's be honest.. nowadays.. scaling software costs shit. So why not letting the users benefit from it too?
James Hunt
@tbsthl yes! Makes perfect sense. Hadn’t thought of it that way. Certainly opens out the potential user base and is a great incentive for early users 👍
Paul Steckler
@thetwopct @tbsthl Love the idea of not making things per seat. Per seat is why my team(s) don't adopt and use new tools; it's just too expensive to get engaged and prove things out.
Ovi Negrean
I've been an early user of Stiki and really love it. It's fast, easy to use, and keeps all our team on the same page with regards to our SOPs.
Tobias Theil
@ovinegrean Great to have you onboard, Ovi!
Omri Shabi
Awesome!
Andrew Mutavdzija
Nice to see this launch. Congrats, Tobias. Would be nice if there was a trial period or something, though. I'd be interested in putting something together for a non-profit org I volunteer with. I'd prefer to put a few pages together and make a proposal, but not prepared to drop $100 and hope for the best! ;) What will the subscription rates be once those are introduced?
Tobias Theil
@andym_dc Hey Andrew! Good seeing you here. I remember our email conversations. Have you checked www.thinkstiki.com? There you see the product with its functionality. Right now there is no trial. There is a 60 days refund period though. No settled plans regarding the subscription but let's say it's hard to underbid the current pricing :)
Burke Autrey
We currently use Confluence by Atlassian for this purpose. Tobias can you compare the benefit of using Stiki over Confluence (besides lower cost)?
Tobias Theil
@burkeautrey Hey Burke! Confluence is full of features you (and your team) might not need without keeping the UI/UX simple and clean. It's also quiet slow compared to Stiki. What I've heard about Confluence is that most times, only a few team members from the team get into it because it takes definitely some willpower to create content. Stiki is more lightweight, simpler and can be used by everyone from the start. Nevertheless if your team depend on different spaces, user restrictions etc. than Stiki is not ready for you yet.
Olli Schopp

Beta user here. Jumped early onto it because I realised that all my notes and company details are shattered in my inbox, evernote, trello and others. Stared really documenting my internal processes to get VAs to take over several tasks.

Pros:

simple, intuitive, great design

Cons:

it cant do the documentation for you - yet ;)

Alex Kavel

I could envision this being used for more than onboarding.

It'd make a great knowledge sharing/ company wiki.

* Keen to learn more about the depth of the tree structure

* Slack integration

* Backup. Do you allow for backups to Dropbox or locally ?

* Pricing - Surely a one-off price for a hosted product isn't particularly sustainable.

Pros:

Simplicity

Cons:

No sure

Volodymyr Morozenko

I have been one of the beta-testers for Stiki. Tobi has done a great job and listened to the feedback. Now I can say, that finally there's a smart way to have a great wiki tool and not pay fortune for Confluence and all the features you may never need.

Pros:

Simplicity, cost, functionality

Cons:

As the product is still 'young', some important features are yet to come

Fabian Spielberger
I just wanted to hunt this too. Looks actually very interesting. We use Confluence to actually cut the "App-Noise" down. Too many Apps for every single thing. Stiki might make me reconsider though, as this really looks interesting to make the Wiki process easier.
Philipp Zentner
It's all about simplicity. Love it! Knowlege management is so important. We do everything in Google Drive right now. @tbsthl Will it have role management? Different access rights?
Tobias Theil
@philipp_zentner Access rights and role management are definitely on the product roadmap and are one of the most demanded features. What you see right now on www.thinkstiki.com is one space. It's the public team space. We started with that cause knowledge management is mainly about transparency. In the future we'll add the feature that you can add more spaces. One space for marketing, one space for product or whatever is on your mind. Each space is restrictable in terms of who can access it. That way you don't end up managing too detailed user restrictions (like restrictions for tags, folders etc.)
Stephan

When you come from a traditional wiki system, you're used to six level deep nestings of folders, desperately trying to somehow organize your information. That leads to a lot of nearly-blank placeholder pages and makes you used to pages that contain little to none useful stuff. With a top-level-only approach and dynamic structures via tags my workflow became super flexible - to be honest: it wouldn't be such a great experience without the filter search, as you tend to have a lot of pages. But that's part of the app, so combined it works like a charm.

Pros:

It's simplicity and therefore the increased visibility of information - oh and the rad design.

Cons:

Completely keyboard-based authoring experience (more shortcuts, full markdown support)

Federico Jorge
Hey guys! Stiki looks great! I'm using Notion right now and have a lot of content. How hard would it be to migrate things? And how are you guys different from Notion?
Tobias Theil
@federicojorge Hey Federico! It depends on the amount of notes you have in notion. There is no importer so you'd need to copy & paste them manually. I've used notion a while ago. They definitely offer more features and elements than Stiki right now. If you need all of the features it's great but it makes the UI also a bit clumsy/overloaded/confusing. Stiki is more straight-forward, offers you a clear structure with tags and is therefore simpler to use. Especially for people who start using it. Stiki is also Login with Slack so it sits on top of your Slack team. If that is your main hub for organizing work it comes in more handy and works great for Slack communities. Nevertheless, Notion is part of one the better tools to tackle the problem of knowledge management. Right now, Stiki is perfect for teams who want to get started with knowledge management and/or who see that Google Docs/Slack doesn't solve the problem.
Federico Jorge
@tbsthl Thanks for the detailed reply. I might give it a try for personal use and will be sharing it with a Slack-based startup I'm working with.
Tobias Theil
@federicojorge Awesome! I'm happy to hear that. Let me know how it goes!
Alex Makedonskiy

As a creative director of a mid-big team I really need to say, that Stiki makes a great tool for me tracking the whole process of the creative thinking my team and I are involved in almost every day. Ideas don't get lost and can be easily reworked or improved. Anytime, everywhere and by everyone.

Pros:

You don't have to be a nerd to understand Stiki. It's really easy to use and valuable for everyone using a computer and working in a team.

Cons:

----

Christian Klang

I used the beta version and it had potential! especially usability is great.

Pros:

usability, ease

Cons:

(still) limited functionality

Lionel Cordier
Really smart idea! Can be used in a lot of cases!
