The submission conflates two distinct entities: 'Threads.com' (a B2B workplace communication tool founded in 2017) and 'Threads.net' (Meta's social network). The description matches the B2B tool, but the traction claims ('most people have used my product') describe Meta's scale, which is factually false for the B2B project. Furthermore, the B2B company 'Threads' was acquired by Shopify in June 2024, and the 'threads.com' domain was subsequently sold to Meta in late 2024. As an independent project, it is no longer active, and the submission contains critical inaccuracies regarding reach and status.

Description
As your team scales, it gets harder to keep everyone on the same page. Now, this doesn’t happen maliciously, it happens because after a certain number of people — most tools break. Therefore, the only way to move forward is to exclude anyone who isn’t absolutely necessary. This leads to people feeling unheard, teams making worse decisions, and companies moving more slowly. \n\nWe built a tool that scales elegantly as more people join the discussion. With Threads, your entire team can get the context they need to do their best work.\n\nWe fundamentally believe that if we make work more inclusive a bunch of good things will happen - better decisions and long-term company morale definitely play into that.
