About
Hi, I'm Deepak. I've run a few community groups myself — and every one of them lived in a group chat. I loved the chat. But anything important I posted was buried within the hour, under jokes, stickers and good mornings. Then someone would ask me the same question again. Every week.
One more thing I noticed: people are often shy to ask for help in the chat — or to offer it. Messaging a hundred people feels like a lot. Pinning a small note on a board feels easy.
Knowtepad fixes all that. It's a notice board for your community — one link where the important stuff stays put. Your announcements. Your events. Your group's files. And a place for members to ask for help or offer something — one small note, just as easy to take down when it's done.
knowtenoun— a piece of knowledge pinned in a shared community space.
It's very simple to use. You build your board in about five minutes. Your members tap your link, type a 4-digit code once, and they're in — no app to download, nothing to sign up for. They respond to anything with one tap, with their name: seen it, I'm going, I can help.
What you get
- 👀 See who’s read your announcement — by name
- 📅 Events that count their own headcount
- ✋ Members helping each other, in the open
- 📎 Your rules and files, pinned for good
What you won't
- 🚫 No ads, no feed, no noise
- 🚫 No clutter — old asks clear out on their own
And your group chat? Keep it. It's good at what it does. The chat keeps the laughter. The board keeps the knowledge.
Run a community and want to know more, or have a suggestion? I'd love to hear from you: hello@solveforwhy.org.
Here's to the people who run things 👋
Sincerely,
Deepak
