I've been using this for the past couple weeks and it's completely changed how I share links with friends. It's definitely the fastest, easiest, most convenient way to start a conversation with one or more people on the piece of content to find online. @shwinnabego and team really put a lot of thought into the app, which comes through in the onboarding, commenting, and sharing workflow. Definitely worth the download if you haven't already!
Been playing with the beta for a while now. @shwinnabego is one of the more thoughtful, young product guys I've come across, and it definitely shows in what the team and he have put out so far.
I don't think there's much I can add that hasn't been said already, but to echo others... Congrats to Ashwinn & team for building an awesome piece of utility and a great mobile experience to support it. I've been fortunate enough to meet Ashwinn in person and to watch Point grow of late. I'm hugely impressed by the product itself, but also by the dedication and the rate at which this small team is rolling out feature after useful feature. Keep it up Ashwinn!
Any idea when the Safari for Mac extension will be ready (assuming you guys are working on one, that is)?
Congrats on the official launch by the way! Point is great, and now the app is out, I can start convincing friends to download it :)
I've said this before, but Point is by far the most awesome thing I've found in the history of Product Hunt. Ever since I've found it I've been using it every day and I'm a big big fan! Now @shwinnabego & co are launching Point for iOS and make it even easier to share and discuss links with your friends! Wohooo!
@bramk agreed - Point is by far the most handy tool I've discovered on PH (along with Pablo by Buffer). Also - slickest UI and onboarding experience in recent memory. Solid app all around.
Hey PH! Bringing point to the iPhone has presented some interesting challenges we’d love your feedback on. For one, getting people to use Point from the apps they use (Safari, Twitter, NYT) has presented an education challenge.
Secondly, figuring out how to adapt the conversation/webpage split from point desktop to smaller screens has been an interesting design challenge.
We’ve also released some great updates to the desktop extension since our last time on Product Hunt: the ability to search through points, email integration so you can point @emails who aren’t on Point, and some other impactful improvements.
Excited to hear from you!
Point really has changed the way I share links privately. One of my all time favorite PH discoveries - both of the product and team
Nice job guys! I've been using Point since the beginning and the addition of a mobile app has totally changed my experience. Receiving notifications and sharing on the go turned Point from a "only when I'm at work utility" to something I use more regularly. There's lots to cram into that tiny phone screen and they did it well. Bravo.
Just discovered this. This to me is the evolution of Google Reader, which is what so many of my friends and I used to share and comment on articles. WAY TO GO, GUYS!!
Looked forward to the mobile app since the chrome extension released last year. Congrats on shipping and can't wait to get friends to start using the service!
Wish the app onboarding was as slick as the extension, and would love to see Twitter login rather than/in addition to Facebook.
Have loved Point from day #1. And I'm still in love with it. It has made sharing links with my team easier than ever. Thanks for building such an amazing product @shwinnabego 🙏
I've been using Point since it first popped up on Product Hunt, and my biggest complaints were that it was difficult to share annotations with friends who didn't have an account, and that it wasn't available on mobile. With this update, both of those requests have been fulfilled and it's super smooth to share articles through Point, perhaps better than any other available options.
I need to mention that highlighting on mobile is incredibly tedious in general. Somehow this app figured out how to make it easy and enjoyable. I think the differentiator is that users are more likely to share a paragraph or a sentence rather than an individual word or even a segment of word, and that's reflected in their mobile highlighting functionality. Keep up the great work @shwinnabego and team!
I can without a doubt say Point has been my most used product I have found on Product Hunt. To be able to share and discuss links more privately with a few selected friends is something that is lacking in Facebook or Twitter, and one of the great things Point provides. @shwinnabego and his team did a great job with the iOS app. As a beta tester it was quite obvious how much they cared and took into consideration the feedback I had to give. Excited for what is to come!
