what are the main improvements you'd like to see?

Have you used it for managing email groups in an org? It’s shockingly, shockingly awful.
-
Sure, just wondering what you would approach first to improve. Might be helpful to entrepreneurs who are thinking about the space. Admin tools? General UX? Something else?
-
Said another way... the thing that beats Google Groups probably has 1-2 key insights that serves a population of users particularly well. What are they?
-
Roadmap: 1. Snappier admin UI on top of existing GG. No migration required. This alone is a great MVP. 2. Autosync with other groups / folders (Github, Dropbox). 3. Clone Slack and make it unslow. 4. Profit.

I want this too, but even with a superior product it’s impossible to compete with free/subsidized within a bundled suite. Haven’t seen a single individual SaaS app at meaningful scale that competes with a part of gapps/o365. Nobody buys an entree when they already got the buffet.
-
Graveyard full of amazing new products for email, calendar, contacts, docs, spreadsheets, mailing lists, file sharing, etc. Only a small number or power users will ever pay. Enterprise requires full bundled suite and still pays <$5/usr/mo. Even open source doesn’t save you.
-
the bundling results in a monopoly that is holding back innovation for productivity tools. Huge market failure and everyone suffers. (Even ppl at Google stuck with their own stagnant tools.) The blocker is market and business model, not user desire or good product/tech ideas.
