Noor Beta

Time to replace Slack

Hey PH makers and early adopters!

I'm Mo, cofounder and CEO at Noor. Today, my 3 teammates and I are so excited to show you what we've been using for teamwork instead of traditional apps.

A lot of people told us that don't compete with big players. But we believed we can do 10x better — Our team has been iterating on Noor for 2.5 years, going through 16 major iterations. Going from a simple Electron menubar app to a full-on native teamwork app.

Noor is • lightweight • starts instantly • has a great rich text editor • utilises native capabilities for ease of use • natively integrates with your Linear

It's built on 4 principles: • Default to deep work and async • Allow high-bandwidth realtime collaboration • Give user the option to choose their level of presence (go from deep work -> whiteboard via voice in a click) • Fade into the background

It's not the first time our team is shipping. Previously in 2018 we launched a timezone app used by folks at Apple, Google, Paypal, IBM, Shopify, and more: https://producthunt.com/posts/there

This team ships! At @todesktop we've been using Noor since the early days and they have been uber-responsive to feature requests and bug reports. This is legitimately a Slack replacement! It's clear that Mo and the team have thought deeply about what small teams need to truly excel.

Favourite feature? The tasks feature with Linear integration makes it easy to see what everything is working on. Before, we tried doing a text "standup" on Slack every morning but the Tasks feature on Noor is 10x better.

Keep up the amazing work, and best of luck Mo + team! Excited to see what features are coming to Noor next!
