Looking for feedback about an idea: Aligning project expectations among stakeholders

Hi IH,

Hope you're having a great Friday.

I would like to have your feedback about an idea to align project expectations among multiple stakeholders: A Google Docs-like document where you can add your comments in multiple formats - short text, rich text, audio, video, Loom, Figma, Google Drive, and many more.

I came across the problem several times while I was outsourcing to multiple contractors for a project. I find difficult to keep track of all the conversations I have with each individual contractor, their suggestions to the project, and the changes we agreed to make. Often times it's just me digging through our emails, chat history, Google Drive, Loom videos, and more to update that one Google Docs document we use as source of truth.

We need this source of truth to make sure everyone involved is aligned with the project expectations, but I wish there is an easier way to consolidate all the comments from different channels. Does anyone here share the same frustration?

I would love to hear your thoughts!

    First thought: can you describe the product in one sentence?

      Hi! Here's my one-liner: A Google Docs where collaborators can comment using any format - text, audio, video, and more

        Nice! Obv I'm biased now that I got the pitch already, but: I can see how that could be an interesting product. I sometimes use Loom to give feedback on some PDFs. That's kind of a workaround for what you're building, so I guess I had that problem. And using Loom for this always seemed to be a bit of an overkill, so having video-commenting options integrated in docs seems interesting.

        How would you monetize this? A freemium model is the first that comes to my mind.

          Hey @MatthiasGabriel! I quickly drew up some mockups and created a short demo video to describe this product. Would you find this useful? https://www.loom.com/share/0173fe59d6c24737b091b38b5be3c4c0

            That’s pretty cool! I think it’d be useful :)

          Thanks for the feedback! Yes I also believe freemium model is the most fitting
