We’ve built something very cool. They’re called Fractal Conversations. Fractal Conversations help you and your closest collaborators think better, together. Using them has changed the way our team works: we are more effective, more connected, and less frustrated than ever before. As an added bonus we have dramatically fewer meetings, and they’re shorter.
We designed Fractal Conversations around the idea that conversations should have no bounds beyond what you are capable of thinking. Natural, spoken conversations branch and split constantly, loop back, repeat. They can go in any direction without constraint. We wanted a written conversation tool with those same capabilities, but with the additional structure and permanence that software can offer.
As we prepare to launch Fractal Conversations, we’re looking for a few brave souls to try it out and give feedback. You will be our pioneers.
To pioneer Fractal Conversations, please do the following:
- Find at least one other person (or a group) who wants to use it with you.
- Send an email to try-conversations@workflowy.com
- In the email, CC the other people who’ll use it with you
- Tell us who you all are (briefly)
- Tell us what you want to use it for (briefly)
In the next few weeks, we will start turning on Fractal Conversations for select groups, and asking for targeted feedback. We hope you’ll join us, and if you do, we hope it will transform your work in the same way it has ours.
Important Notes:
1. Fractal Conversations are built into Workflowy. You can have them on any content inside a shared node. They are not a new product.
2. This post is intentionally mysterious. We don’t want pioneers to know anything concrete about it before trying it, because we want to also test how we introduce it to people. The actual product isn’t some futuristic thing. It’s just a better UI for complex conversations. If you aren’t interested in trying something you know nothing about, for fun, this isn’t for you.
