Shared bookmarks for any team

Links are team knowledge

Every team has a set of links that make the work happen: the standup call, the roadmap, the on-call schedule, the design files, the expense form. Most teams keep them in the worst possible place, scattered across chat threads, pinned messages, wiki pages and everyone’s private bookmarks. New people ask for them. Old links break and nobody notices. “Can you send me that link again?” is a daily ritual.

A shared Hive group turns those links into something the whole team owns. One group, one list, the same for everyone, and it stays current because anyone with edit rights can fix it.

How sharing works

Create a group, add links, and invite people by email. Each person gets a role:

• Owner manages the group, its settings and its members.
• Editor adds, edits and organizes links.
• Viewer opens links and adds private tags, without changing the group for others.

Invitees see the group in their Hive popup once they accept. If someone doesn’t have a Hive account yet, the invite waits and is accepted automatically when they sign up with that email. When someone adds or changes a link, it reaches every member on every computer they use, and Hive can notify members about activity in their groups.

Everyone adds a little

The best shared groups aren’t curated by one person. The designer adds the new design file, the engineer on call adds the incident runbook, the manager adds the planning doc. Each link shows who added it, so you know who to ask. Over a few weeks the group becomes the map of how the team works, built from everyone’s share.

Aliases make it faster still. An alias on a link in a shared group works for every member, so one person sets up go standup and the whole team types it.

Hive for organizations

When a whole company uses Hive, an organization ties it together:

• Invite with a code. The owner shares one code; people join the organization from the Hive Console.
• Default groups. Admins choose groups that every new member gets on day one, so a new hire’s browser already has the handbook, the tools and the team links.
• Discover. Members browse the groups that are open to them and join, or ask to join, the ones they need.
• Guest policy. Owners decide whether people outside the organization can be invited into its groups.

See what the team uses

The Hive Console shows which links your team actually opens: the most opened links, groups and aliases for the week, month, year or all time, recent additions and the top contributors. It’s an easy way to spot the links that matter, and the ones nobody needs any more.

Plans

The free plan includes a shared group with a small number of members, enough to try Hive with a partner or a couple of colleagues. Solo Pro removes the limits for one person, and team plans give everyone in a team Pro seats. The pricing page has the details.
