I’m building Stashdog. Think of it as an operating system for all your physical stuff. Everyone has stuff and things, and Stashdog is a digital tool to help you deal with the various frustrations those physical things bring. Track all your belongings visually by picture and hierarchically by container and location. Tag, organize, share and search. Attach receipts, warranties, manuals for easy access. Set reminders on your Google/Apple calendar to keep on top of things. Manage prized collections and tell the story of each item. Public and private sharing with role-based access. Export custom reports. Use AI to enrich item details and get research-based valuations. Free to use and available in both app stores.

These sites are just digital versions of a Nathan For You episode.

One of my coworkers was fantasizing the other day about starting a company where they don't send any internal emails. His plan involved prioritizing face-to-face communication, dedicated Slack channels, and a suite of tools that made it easier to index, and search across Slack. It was an interesting thought experiment, but it broke down in a lot of areas, and I think our conclusions were:

1) It would only have a chance of working in a small organization with a single team, or few teams that communicate regularly and effectively.

2) It's one thing to favor other channels of communication, but outright banning of email didn't have a lot of benefits other than forcing people to favor said alternate channels.
