Show HN: Spiti – Private video library for high-performing teams Hi HN I’m Therese, one of the founders of Spiti. My co-founder, Sai, and I are thrilled to launch Spiti to the HN community! We’ve been working on a better way for teams to organize, access, share, and collaborate on internal videos. Recently, we built the ability to record, too. It is built specifically to enhance remote and hybrid teams’ access to internal knowledge and context lost in historical conversations. ------- *tl;dr backstory:* We’ve worked in start-ups and larger companies. In our previous stints, searching for stuff took up a lot of time. Tooling solved for better access and collaboration in most cases, except videos. Recorded meetings, webinars, product demos, explainer videos, customer conversations, etc. were always scattered around in various folders on the cloud, links in emails, and Slack. But those videos are important, and easy access would save the team and us at least a few hours every week. ---------- We designed and built Spiti Team Video Library to address these challenges head-on and provide teams with their own private video library or, as we describe it — an internal YouTube for your team. One of the things we crafted carefully is its intuitive interface, designed to ensure a delightful viewing experience for otherwise boring team videos. Spiti also integrates seamlessly with popular storage and collaboration tools — Zoom, Google Drive, and Slack— making it easy for teams to centralize their meeting recordings, onboarding, and customer conversations — no more hunting for a video lost in the cloud or links lost on Slack channels. *A few key capabilities:* - Native Screen Recorder (for MacOS) - Native integration with Zoom, Google Drive & Slack - Securely connect and collaborate with individuals or teams outside your organization through Spiti Connect - Organize videos into Playlists - Comments and keep the conversation going - Embed entire playlists in Notion, Coda, and webpages - Search in a video through auto transcriptions for every video *Interesting ways our customers use Spiti* - Adding clarity to bug reports - Product demo videos for your customers - Reviewing GitHub PRs faster - Employee onboarding made async and repeatable We'd love to talk to you and learn how Spiti can improve your remote team's productivity and provide feedback on what we have built so far. We understand that collaboration needs vary from team to team, and we're dedicated to tailoring our platform to meet those specific needs. We look forward to your comments! https://spiti.xyz May 9, 2023 at 11:15PM
Women Pioneers at Muni: Adeline Svendsen and Muni’s First Newsletter By Jeremy Menzies To close out Women’s History Month, here’s a look back at one woman whose work to bring Muni staff together in the late 1940s created a legacy that lives on to this day. Adeline “Addy” Svendsen was founding editor of Muni’s first internal newsletter, “ Trolley Topics .” Adeline Svendsen sits at her desk in the Geneva Carhouse office building in this 1949 shot. Trolley Topics was a new venture when it started in February 1946. As Svendsen wrote in the first issue it was created, “to bring a little fun, a little news, and a lot of good will to all our fellow employees in the Railway.” Just two years prior in 1944, Muni merged with the Market Street Railway Company, expanding the small municipal operation into the largest transit provider in the city with hundreds of employees, vehicles of every shape and size, and dozens of facilities scattered across town. The newsletter was meant to help unite ...
