As I wrote in previous post https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48933167

I wanna keep myself accountable while working on a project, so I'll be sharing my standup here

If I miss a day I pay 20$ to some charity (comments pick)

Re:Help me be accountable with my time on Thursday July 16, 2026 @09:58AM (#48934688)

Show HN: RAG Engine – Connect external data to LLM in minutes

Hello HN,If you’ve ever tried building an AI app that needs your own data, you know the pain — spinning up a vector database, writing scripts to fetch data from different sources, keeping data in sync… It’s a lot.So we thought, why not simplify this process and make it as simple as couple API calls? One to add data source and another to search across all your data.Well, that’s why we’re...

Well with intercom you can send one message to all users. And then one user can't participate in discussion with everyone.

You can also send polls to everyone and everyone can see the results which makes people more engaged.

DMs are not available to everyone, you decide who can have access to direct chat with you

Nice did you subscribe to launch? This way we'll be able to contact you later
Re:I came up with a better way to communicate with users on Thursday September 22, 2022 @12:21PM (#32941106)
Lol, fair point. But first I need to make people use it)
Re:I came up with a better way to communicate with users on Thursday September 22, 2022 @11:37AM (#32940429)
Criticism is good thing. It even helps me to see my product clearly)

So let's see 1. Taku is not just a chat popup window. You don't talk with only one user at a time. You have constant connection with all users. 2,3. Notifications won't be always on screen. Only when there is a new message. And yeah I'm thinking about enabling "Mute" for users who don't want to be annoyed)

Re:I came up with a better way to communicate with users on Thursday September 22, 2022 @11:28AM (#32940251)
Hmm, I think for that case we can have some kind of mute option. I'm actually thought that some users gonna be annoyed with it.
Re:I came up with a better way to communicate with users on Thursday September 22, 2022 @11:17AM (#32940058)
It's open only on landing for demo purpose. But in real product it will be close and if some message from comes users will see alert and if they click it then the whole box will open
Re:I came up with a better way to communicate with users on Thursday September 22, 2022 @11:16AM (#32940036)
It's not entirely chatbot nor group chat. I think discord server is the most closest to Taku but also not entirely.

Right now yes it's mostly positioned for early stage product that have some suer base but they wanna know more about their users so they can know what they should work on

Re:I came up with a better way to communicate with users on Thursday September 22, 2022 @10:27AM (#32939222)
Thanks for all these feedback. Yeah it's a first version definetely a lot to improve on
Re:I came up with a better way to communicate with users on Thursday September 22, 2022 @10:19AM (#32939106)
Right now a lot of stuff are still unclear. What ind of product you have? I'm looking for products that are willing to integrate Taku so I can refine it until it brings value.

If you're interested send me an email [email protected]

Re:I came up with a better way to communicate with users on Thursday September 22, 2022 @10:17AM (#32939089)
They won't need to go there, Taku is integrated directly into website/app. So if they are signed up in your system then they have access to Taku
Re:I came up with a better way to communicate with users on Thursday September 22, 2022 @10:16AM (#32939072)
Hmm haven't tested in dark mode. Will fix thanks for the bug)
Re:I came up with a better way to communicate with users on Thursday September 22, 2022 @10:09AM (#32938978)
Thanks for the feedback!
Re:I came up with a better way to communicate with users on Thursday September 22, 2022 @10:05AM (#32938910)
Hmm so PLG is a space but do you know some implemenations?
Re:I came up with a better way to communicate with users on Thursday September 22, 2022 @10:00AM (#32938850)
You wouldn't need a traffic on it because it's integrated directly into your website/app. If you have people there they will be able to see and interact with it
Re:I came up with a better way to communicate with users on Thursday September 22, 2022 @09:55AM (#32938784)
Yep that's exaclty what Taku is. Great that you like it
Re:I came up with a better way to communicate with users on Thursday September 22, 2022 @09:53AM (#32938753)
Yeah I think this is main problem with products where all people can post. But I think you would be able to limit who can comment if you receive a lot of comments. Because you'll collect data on users through polls and forms
Re:I came up with a better way to communicate with users on Thursday September 22, 2022 @09:44AM (#32938647)
Was it valuable tool?
Re:I came up with a better way to communicate with users on Thursday September 22, 2022 @09:40AM (#32938611)
Users will be able to communicate with each other in threads that only company starts. And it will be used to see what most of the people are thinking
Re:I came up with a better way to communicate with users on Thursday September 22, 2022 @09:39AM (#32938605)
Yep exactly there are different approaches right now but they don't solve the problem comletely.
