#3Sounds like a smart way to replace emails with no replies and avoid useless overhead in having your employees using/learning a new product.

#4It mentions "they have to signup with their work email", so there's some notion of the page data being private.
I'm curious how well protected it really is.
Also, is the first email from domain X to sign up the default admin for that domain? How do you resolve disputes?

#5Last week we had some fun building a lightweight (mostly to see how chrome extensions work) tool to let companies send company announcements in all their coworkers' new tab.
If this sounds a little odd, here's how it works:
1. Install the Chrome extension [0], open a new tab and you'll see sample content. Hit the signup button and create a new account.
2. Now that you have an account, configure your company's page and invite your coworkers (they have to signup with their work email).
3. You're ready to create and publish announcements from the admin area. Everyone in your company will see them when opening a new tab.

#6Homepage. You've re-invented the homepage.
I've worked in companies where the default homepage was the announcements feed on the Intranet. Didn't make people actually read them though!

Hi,
Antonio from Sametab. You need to signup w/ Google or validate your working email before being able to read the announcements. This security rule is enforced into the database (it's Firebase Firestore).

Feel free to ask questions!

The first one becomes the admin. We already implemented a RBAC system for managing users' permissions. You'll be able assign admin permissions from the webapp soon.

Drop us an email and we will re-assign the permissions!

Basically, yeah.
The hard part is not getting information in front of people, it’s keeping it brief and well-managed enough so that people read it.
