Chances of meta clearing E5 with screwing up one coding one round and acing all other
I have recently interviewed at Dropbox. I kind of liked overall Dropbox culture and the work. But in one of the interviews they presented Paper demo. I didn't quite understand the use case. I would like to know your thoughts on that product.
It shares many of the same use cases as Google docs, but I find the interface simpler and more pleasant on the eyes. Happy to answer anything more specific.
^this...only nobody really uses paper outside of Dropbox and they’re super salty if you ever send them a google doc (learned from experience lol)
Confluence killed it and so do google sheets and o365. So paper is to clean the shit right now
Paper has similar use cases to google docs but is a much worse product in terms of quality and performance. The team working on it has no clue about building a useful product
Basically it’s combining ML + Google Docs. Essentially, it guesses the type of document based on what you’re typing, so no need to worry about formatting at all. Just type away. Apparently it’s quite good at this. Internally within Dropbox, they use it for all ERDs/RFCs and internal documents and such. Guy I met at Dropbox was telling me all this, was pretty impressive.
As a Dropboxer I’m not sure if you’re trolling or just misled....
That’s what the dude told me lol. Is this wrong?
Many mid size tech companies use paper for documentation and collaboration. As a product, it hasn’t grown its adoption as we hoped. But as a Dropboxer, I like it more than google docs. It’s simpler and let you focus on the content vs the formatting.
It's a great product, so easy to use and has lots of cool features. I was forced to use OneNote, then Google doc , then paper. I have to say paper is the best among the 3.
So everyone agrees that it's an alternative to the Google docs.
Not even close in terms of formatting power and content organization. I would say Paper is more like Apple Notes with ability to type in real time.
Very similar to Quip as well. A modern cloud doc editor.
what did u like about it? paper is just a plugin for bells and whistles like collaboration / goog docs
