Zephyr is our platform for teams and individuals. Chat, storage and productivity tools with integrations and analytics. We're pushing to beta right now and looking for testers, plus engineers and designers to join the team.

Come check out Zephyr at - https://zephyrplatform.com - where you can join the beta and try our demo. We're Glasgow based (Scotland), and if you are thereabouts pop me a tweet @gotzephyr for a meetup and chat.

It's not exactly criticism though? There's no real structure to what you provided beyond "I don't get it". Would be very happy to advise further if you could expand upon your initial post?

Content certainly always needs updated and every rewrite can make things clearer. Equally though if critique is given, if it can be more direct to specific parts of the content or questions raised that can facilitate a response to help drive understanding, it can provide much more help in making things better.

If you note, you mentioned the share buttons overlapping the content on the left. This bug has been fixed, so your post itself has achieved the required result.

It's on our roadmap. Plus screenshare too.

Could be a tour is used to aid UX? A quick run through to help all levels of users understand the features they will be using. You can always hit the cancel button if you have no need to view it.

I did think the site content was quite simple to understand, it's a platform that deals in comms, planning, storage for teams. Putting people together to build product and manage their workflow.

If it was a case of 2mins reading and you still have no idea then that is certainly puzzling.

You can use it to communicate, both video and text based (group and 1to1). Run your projects and tasks. Store your files and much more.

We will be integrating Zephyr with Box, Dropbox etc. Also Github as we scale up our tools for collaborative work.

When we're complete you will be able to run your workflow using our tools and connect out with other platform users to create a remote team, work on great projects and products - with our marketplace and transactional system you can push payments too via the blockchain. Full stack service that we intend to build on further.

The beta right now is a solid set of workflow tools, with free access all through beta and we expect full launch Q1 2016.

New beta launch on our Zephyr platform with workflow tools for channels (video and chat), planning (tasks and goals), storage and pinboard (decisions).

Hook up your email accounts to push mail direct into the platform for content sharing with analytics (v1) and two awesome themes (light + dark) all tied together with our commands system and card based UI.

You can create virtual workspaces with our environments and run your teams, projects, customers however you like. All free access via beta.

We have many more features to roll out over the new few months as the scale the product, both new and improvements. All feedback greatly appreciated :-)

Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing - that was how I rolled back in the day :-D

Great fun to learn, you get to race a car...faster you type, faster it goes. Education with play is the best kind!

I would certainly recommend it, I type far faster than I write now.

We're only around 20% of our final build functionality on this demo. It's just a little taste of what Zephyr can do.

Tasks, events, screenshare, integration with mail and other 3rd party systems, analytics and a lot more besides will be rolling out.

Basically you and your team will be able to create your data, visualise it how you want, analyse it and store it on Zephyr. All on one platform, across all your devices, fully secured.

This isn't our final product but if you do want to come onboard and see what we can do and how we will benefit you and your business, sign up to the beta as I would very much love your help in making Zephyr (even more) awesome ☺

That's a different spelling. I see what you are saying though. Name's just a name at present, a working title, and everything is under test to produce the best product possible for launch.

Thanks for all the comments, massively appreciated! Just remember its a first demo release, we've still much more to do before we launch, especially on the UI.

Everything has to start somewhere, but you will see many improvements as each week rolls by, would very much love to see you all on our beta so we can show you what we can do and how Zephyr will be progressing.
