Team communication is broken

Team communication is broken

The modern team communication toolkit is broken: docs in one app, calls in another, posts and chat in another, and everyone ends up copy-pasting links all over the place and fiddling with permissions to make sure people can see the right things.

And even when all that works, it's still impossible to find discussions after the fact and keep up with decisions across teams and projects.

It's a mess.

Campsite is a reflection of how we think great teams should communicate:

  • posts are threaded by default, async friendly, topical, and have nested comments for structured discussions
  • calls can be recorded, summarized, and shared, so it's really easy to socialize meeting notes or customer conversations
  • docs are collaborative documents with slash commands and beautiful formatting. We removed the headache of organizing infinitely nested pages or blocks that make typing feel slow and clunky
  • chat is for everything in between; Campsite chat feels ephemeral, and we've seen this design decision guide teams towards using posts + docs more often to keep internal communication transparent

    • In the past year with Campsite, we’ve dramatically simplified our own workflow — we ditched Notion, Slack, and Zoom in the as we shipped our own version of those capabilities.

    There's a lot more to show, but for now, you can try Campsite for free:

    The team collaboration space is super competitive, and there are lots of options for people, but we're really excited about our progress with early customers. We'll keep iterating as we learn more, so I'd love to hear your ideas and feedback.

    You can message me any time on X.
