Hey @specx! To be honest, I had no idea what Mammoth was until I saw the video. The header image and copy made me question whether it was community for connecting entrepreneurs offline. I believe photos of the product would make it much more clear. How does Mammoth differ from existing solutions?

I kicked the tires on Mammoth maybe a year ago I think, and remember not really getting how it meaningfully demanded attention over existing solutions. The video helps a lot in demo'ing a concrete use case, but was not at all what I expected from the site copy. "Do more, be more productive" had me expecting you'd pivoted to take on project management apps like Asana. It really feels like you want to convince users they can do anything with your app, which is a terrifying proposition from the user's perspective, IMO. Pick one use case that you are 10x better on and focus on that - could "get rid of group planning emails forever" or "your collaborative planning timeline" or "research together". Just two cents and I hope this doesn't come across as negative bc what you've built is really beautiful, but felt compelled to share as I remember being curious about you guys a long time ago, and on second go around still don't quite have a clear picture of how I'd tell someone else to use your app (which is the real win; others can articulate what you are). Best of luck!!

@rrhoover thanks, good idea, we'll look into adding some screens. Having seen the video, how would you describe Mammoth? In Mammoth, you add ideas and content on a single collaborative "board". As opposed to the current way where everything is scattered across emails, notes, folders and storage services. Mammoth blends documents+chat, so, instead of multiple email threads for a project, you now have a single webpage with a timeline of all content and everyone's ideas, and its easily understandable how things went from start to finish. A few public boards: https://mammothhq.com/ak and https://mammothhq.com/holly

@keepfischin Slack is a great messaging app; while Mammoth is more of a collaborative workspace (we call them boards), where you can bring in all the content (both from web and desktop with a drag-drop operation), provide context with comments and invite all the collaborators. Eventually, It's faster decisions, and better feedback in less time. Do check this video

The thing that got me excited was "Turn Conversations into Results", which made me think that this was a better method to turn direct marketing into leads, or to improve customer development or something along those lines - which at least for me, would be very useful. After seeing the video it looks like a different version of Evernote, but what's not clear is the specific use case that you excel at where Evernote lags behind - I think driving into this would really help you segment your market and get to your true users.

Ashish here, one of the co-founders of Mammoth. We are in Private Beta right now, please use HUNTERS activation code to jump the waitlist.

@marcojelli thanks for the feedback. Mammoth is centered around collaboration. Many people use it for working on projects together, studying together, working on thesis, planning trips with family & friends, writing screenplays, market research, MOOC sessions, collecting & sharing pics, among other use cases.

@dshan that's a brilliant piece of advice. We are trying to get the value-prop right & that's why we wanted to get the feedback from ProductHunters.

I've heard great things about SlackHQ; what does Mammoth offer that is superior?
