Show HN: CQ2 – a tool for thoughtful and coherent discussions
cq2.co
Discussions using existing written communication tools often turn into a tangle of sub-discussions around quotes, making it hard to follow. There's no clear view of all the comments in a specific sub-discussion and how the sub-discussion is related to its parent, forcing constant scrolling and hopping between comments to gather context for a meaningful response. On top of all that, it's tough to tell if any key points were overlooked.
Meetings are hit-or-miss. When it comes to complex and lengthy discussions, they often go nowhere. Instead of thoughtful responses, you often get knee-jerk reactions. Many meetings benefit from taking a break to analyse deeper or reflect further, but there is never enough time.
CQ2 is a better way to discuss:
It allows creating n-level threads around specific quotes (as well as whole comments). No mess of threads and no more copy-pasting quotes! One can see all the comments and parent threads of a specific thread in the same view. It's easier to tell if any key points were overlooked because it let's you clearly see which parts of the discussion became sub-discussions and which didn't. And, it’s open source!
We are currently under heavy development, and if our passion for thoughtful and coherent discussions resonates with you, we would love to learn about your team, your frustrations with discussions, and shape the future of CQ2, together.
