Loomideck INACTION

www.loomideck.com

Enterprise social network for

collaboration and projects

management.

I am Mantas, CEO of Eruditus team which created Loomideck enterprise social network. I am

not going to cook stories about our happy clients who use Loomideck, instead I will tell you how

we use it on a daily basis. I am not conventional type of CEO, I do not like formality, procedures,

consider that “done is better than perfect” and hate all that CEO-ish stuff.

Hey!

Hates email and Skype

Constantly marks that development is sort of an art

Fails at planning work

Is the real tech genius

AlexCTO @ Eruditus

An Artist from capital A

World saver, vegan and tree hugger

Hates email and Skype too

Adores the way Apple creates products (except iOS7)

AleksejHead of design @ Eruditus

The only things she cares about are deadlines and revenue

Manages several projects at the same time

Pretends to be blonde in tech related stuff

EvitaDirector of accounts @ Eruditus

On a daily basis I have to deal with these 3 mostly

Reasons to build collaboration tool

So we raised a question, maybe it is reasonable to create something what we would not reject?

Back in a days, we were trying to adopt several collaboration platforms and all of these attempts failed. Key

reasons were:

uglyMost of the products we

tried, were too ugly to be

open all the time

intrusiveThey sent too much email

notifications (overloaded

inbox was driving mad

especialy me and Evita)

asocialNone of those platforms

didn’t force us to consume

data shared by other

teammates

AwkwardClumsy feature set. This, I

think, doesn’t need to be

explained

Key goals of our new product

Perfectly crafted and intuitive interface

Not more than 2 clicks to complete major operations

The best tasks manager you can imagine

Interface which inspires you to consume data shared by other teammates

Highly advanced from technology point of view

Perfect setup for projects management

Replacement for Skype intra-team chats

We met all of these requirements when Loomideck was finally up and running!

So how does it help me on a daily basis?

Notes help me to share new ideas related with products development

and collect feedback

I initiate conversations for brainstorms instead of

physical meetings

Setup of pins, notes, tasks lists and conversations I find the best

way to handle projects.

When I read something what is worth sharing, I share it with the team I want via “Save to Loomideck” bookmarklet

I have separates teams on Loomideck for each project

I share files by drag & drop

I dedicate tasks for Alex and Aleksej and track their progress

This is the way Evita uses Loomideck

Initiates conversations to discuss projects development plans (this saves load of

money which we would spend on travels)

Shares funny and cute bookmarks :)

She shares projects relateddata with dedicated teams

Evita handles several projects teams on Loomideck and all to them are remote

Dedicates tasks for Aleksej and remote development team

Alex. The way CTO started to use collaboration platform!

And finally we have a platform which he keeps open all the time.

Alex productivity depends on the way he writes down any single task he must complete, so his tasks lists are the longest ones on Loomideck.

He abandoned Skype totally, but I always know that I will catch him

on conversations. If he is not online, I just check “notify on Facebook”

and he receives that message directly to his messenger (also to his

“Pebble” so I am double sure he gets it)

Each day he starts with a new superb track which he shares on Loomideck. (I always listen that tracks in sidebar as media player doesn’t interrupt my ongoing work and navigation)

Aleksej in search for pixel level perfection.

Probably the most hated tasks list he finds is the one which Evita

appointed him to.

Aleksej always shares new design files with Alex and finally he stopped yelling “Turn on your Airdrop” (Alex always has his headphones on), he simply drops that files into Loomideck and it doesn’t matter that .psd file can be up to 100mb size, upload of such files goes in a background, so you don’t need to wait (after upload starts, press save and widget of progress will appear in a sidebar)

He always bookmarks something amazing from design point of view

into Loomideck (all that “hug the tree and save the world” he left

for Facebook)

I always ask him for an eye popping presentations designs and leave him texts in notes or upload presentations drafts so he can download it.
