It is basically a file messenger. It's cool because it lets you turn files and links you share into one easy to read feed. So that later you would know who sent what, when and why. Think of it as a shared folder with a messenger built-in. It also looks and works great.
Staply is not made for teams, it is a much simpler tool made for regular people who just want to share and discuss files in a group.
Now they have to use FB chat, shared folders, email or even tools for teams and we want to make the whole process easier and more enjoyable for them. Especially when it comes to finding and understanding files/links that were sent previously.
Nowadays they get a link in some cloud storage send it via email that you loose it and if you want to add one more person into the discussion it becomes messy. Or they use FB chat that doesn't work in many cases. etc.
We personally use Staply together with other instant messengers/chats and use it more like a shared folder. So like i share files(and discuss them a bit) in Staply but discuss daily routine in IM.
BTW what so you think about the landing page/product itself?
Slack is a complex tool made for teams of developers and we are a more lightweight solution, made for regular people, with a focus on file sharing and file organization.
Basically other solutions are made for teams, they are complex and have a lot to setup. Staply is simple and made for all kind of groups.
Moreover we focus not only on real time sharing. We've made it super easy to find and understand content that was shared even few months ago.
Later it is possible to filter out just files and in one click get to the place where they was discussed.
