Seems kinda like FB for work. We use it where I work and to be honest.. it's not great. Engagement is low among some areas so they try drive engagement to it by having competitions on it. I don't think it works.

I think it would work for small teams though. People are probably more likely to post if it is just to their immediate team.

Really appreciate this. I totally agree - these tools aren't for every organization. Culture is what you put into it. I've been on teams that "prefer email over Slack"... (I know).. Another strong point you made is regarding how small teams are the key to early growth. Thanks!

Hi,

My name is Nick and I'd love to know what you think of my new product, Highlight (in beta).

I'm on a mission to make your working life more engaging, rewarding, and authentic.

Highlight helps work teams... 1). Celebrate colleagues & wins 2). Engage your workplace community 3). Showcase the authentic you.

All good things, NL

My two cents: For me it feels like a tool that would be introduced top-down in a company. I would target human resources and management.

Hey I really appreciate your help. You're onto something. This resonates with the data I've been gathering. I'm going to double down on this target and run additional experiments. Thanks again.

Neat! Did you use a framework or template social network/story format code to build this?

Hey - thanks for your comment! Custom built using Flutter :D
