Been noticing a lot of collab offers bouncing around lately. I'm also seeing people talking about building platforms and tools for creators to collab, network, communicate, share files, all that.

Meanwhile, I’ve completed 3 collab projects recently using a pretty basic collab stack:

• Reddit for meeting people
• Reddit chat for communication
• Email for sending files
• OneDrive for larger files

That’s my collab stack. I'm not trying to move people over to a shiny new platform or add additional layers of friction. I'm using what already exists, rolling up my sleeves, and putting in work.

But I also realize a lot of people are working from their phones and don’t necessarily have the setup I have on a desktop, where I can take advantage of the screen real estate, drag-and-drop, multiple windows, etc.

I was helping somebody order something on Amazon from their phone the other day and realized…I don’t know how y’all do this shit 😂. The experience is completely different from working on a computer.

That's why I approach collabs in the most simple, friction free way possible - meet people where they're at.

For me, the most important considerations are:

• Clear means of communication
• Easy file sharing
• People actually following through and finishing projects

That's it!

I’m not trying to build a tool for collaboration. We already have communities and chat here on Reddit. I’m more interested in actually connecting with people and making things happen using the infrastructure that already exists.

Curious to know what is everybody else using for their collab stack? 🤔
