When we first took a look at Anchor back in June after it had just launched, the social platform for coworkers was a decidedly walled-off environment; just like Hotel California, you could check out any time you like—but you could never leave. At least, your ideas couldn’t.
But that’s changed today, as the app sees its first big update and adds integration with Evernote, and the ability to email outside of the platform.
Yes, you read that right—the app just added the ability for its users to communicate with others outside the platform. It’s a little odd to think there wasn’t previously the ability to do so, but there wasn’t.
Evernote support is the other big addition, and now users can export posts or entire conversation threads to their Evernote accounts. Both these upgrades free Anchor users from having to anchor their ideas in, well, Anchor.
More control over team management has also been added, with the new ability to change team names and privacy settings.
