It's an todo app with Eisenhower matrix technique. It means you will enter the urgency and importance of the task. It will automatically move your task to specific bucket. For instance like this
Sorry for the delay — admittedly, I'm not very up on reddit. Who knew two months went by. OK, so our blog is slab.com/blog. We write two categories of articles — straightforward articles that address specific issues (Work Smarter) and then more elabroate think pieces (Write Louder).
As far as details for the piece — super early on here, but I want to talk to a handful of companies and share their journeys. One agency I'm talking with, for example, was on the verge of telling their team they'd be going 100% remote forever, so getting to understand that experience (how they shared the news, how the news was received) is super interesting and likely quite different from other companies' remote journeys.
Not to mention that it forces you to summarize your findings to fit "above the fold" on a small tablet. Imagine Seven of Nine's first interdepartmental email and how many pages it must have been before someone taught her tablet etiquette!
When the rule of thumb is "if it fits on a pad, no-one gets mad" it probably creates a healthy culture similar in concept to Amazon's memo culture. [1] [2]

P.S. If you don't mind me asking, what industry are you in? I wish that tablet culture was more commonplace.
We started using Slab for documentation. It's nice, built in a similar way to Slack. Everything is searchable and it helps you standardize formats. Plus it's a standalone product. So you don't have to buy a whole package that includes stuff you don't need or want.
Hi there!
There are lots of really awesome softwares that are for the purpose of creating documentation and internal wikis. Some can get pretty expensive, but others have free options for the basics and less expensive options for single-users. The go from something as simple and clean as Slab.com all the way to the (inexpensive, but terribly intricate) Confluence by Atlassian. I've tested about 15 of them in total, and our company (SellerSmile) has found that Slab is by far the easiest to navigate, integrate, and assimilate into our regular routines. If you have any more questions, I'd be happy to answer them! I'm the Process Design Lead for SellerSmile, so creating SOPs and organizing things is LITERALLY what I do! I have a whole spreadsheet on the pros and cons of the top documentation/wiki softwares out there. ;)
