Launch HN: Spinach.io (YC W22) – Better daily standups
Firstly, congrats on launching. Hard work is hard.<p>I don&#x27;t want to be negative on your launch day, but at the same time feedback is important.<p>1. I couldn&#x27;t see myself or the many agile&#x2F;lean teams I&#x27;ve been part of using this. I don&#x27;t feel enough of a burden when walking the board for this to be worth the money.<p>2. A user in spinach.io costs effectively the same amount as a user in Slack, the difference is that I&#x27;m going to use Slack all day every day and assuming the use of this tool it&#x27;s a once a day task.[0]<p>3. Bringing &#x27;intention&#x27; and &#x27;structure&#x27; feels a little like it will become a straitjacket.<p>4. Moving talking during a standup to &#x27;prep time&#x27; seems like it would remove any of the time benefits you&#x27;re quoting. Worse that time would better be spent updating Jira&#x2F;Trello&#x2F;whatever, people don&#x27;t do this reliably, so the prep becomes one more thing that doesn&#x27;t get done.<p>This is only one data point, and there is of course the classic &quot;what do we need Dropbox for we have FTP&quot; HN comment, so don&#x27;t be disheartened either. As PG has said (paraphrased), one of the reasons to launch quickly is that you haven&#x27;t really begun until you&#x27;ve launched.<p>Having said that I&#x27;m happy to continue providing feedback as you iterate (my contact details are in my profile).<p>[0]: Enterprise price point is incredibly hard. Got to get enough dollars to make it worthwhile, but that excludes smaller businesses like mine that feel like a death by a thousand cuts from all the SaaS subscriptions (I know you have a free plan).
