Show HN: Loqbooq – A decision log with Slack integration

Super neat idea!<p>Here&#x27;s my feedback<p>- we use Zulip, so it would be neat to see an integration<p>- this strikes me more as a feature than as an add-on per-user. The value of this is it makes it easier to expand the scope of decision making because of facilitating a process. Yet the pricing disincentives adding each additional decision maker and limiting the users to the core team. That seems in conflict. I would rather pay a flat fee per month.<p>- the above may indicate a lower revenue ceiling, but also I could easily see slack themselves adding something like this, or a FOSS version for polling, so I think it would make sense to keep the pricing affordable for everyone

I&#x27;ve been thinking of how to solve the &quot;decision history&quot; of a business being lost and this looks great! One question I have though is how do you propose people find these decision log entries a year or two from now?

&gt; Even we cannot see your decision contents.<p>How? I read through few other pages and don&#x27;t see this described.<p>On &quot;How It Works&quot;[0], everything after the first &quot;step 3&quot; seems mostly worthless for every team I&#x27;ve ever worked on and feels like it&#x27;s more like something that isn&#x27;t for me? Like who gets something out of those when it&#x27;s a product (that heavily pushes their <i>slack</i> integration) for &quot;teams&quot; to record decisions?<p>[0] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;loqbooq.app&#x2F;how-it-works" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;loqbooq.app&#x2F;how-it-works</a>

All the strategic decisions I’ve seen lately, management doesn’t want anyone to know how they came to those conclusions. They want that kind of information to have never been logged, or to be buried as deeply as possible.<p>They don’t want to be embarrassed six months in the future when people find out how that decision was made.<p>I don’t know how you can solve that part of the problem.

at $enterprise-dayjob decisions like this (ADRs etc) are generally recorded in the company wiki (confluence). pricing per user of loqbooq seems comparable to pricing per user of confluence.<p>&gt; Whenever you leave (or get kicked out of) a Loq, Loqbooq will automatically email you a full PDF export of the current decision Loq.<p>Oh wow, I am very much not in the target market for this service.

Hi,<p>We built Loqbooq to address some things around documentation in longer running projects. Decisions and their rationale, taken at the beginning of a project, often get lost and then discussed over and over again. Also it&#x27;s hard to pivot in a project, if nobody knows why certain decisions were taken in the first place (think software design). Finally, it&#x27;s always good to have buy-in from (non-technical) stakeholders.<p>We hope that Loqbooq can add to better documentation and decision making.

Does anyone know where companies get those style of illustrations from? I always see them

that sounds like email, with more steps and slack integration.
