There is a live demo here https://p2customers.p2.blog/

I don't get it. Looks like a regular news wall with endless scrolling and comments expanded.

Except anybody can post an announcement on top? and the previous ones disappear under the constant flow?

The idea here (I think) is that this is meant for use within an enterprise. Like a corporate wiki, but organized more like an aggregator site. I've seen a few similar products that were like enterprise facebook or enterprise twitter. They are sorta useful, but it's hard to get enough engagement to be worthwhile. Your company needs at least a few thousand people in order for them to generate enough content to keep people interested.

For context, a8c started using a prior version of p2 like eleven or twelve years ago, when we were positively dozens of people. We have smaller p2s for teams of three to four people.

tl;dr: nah, doesn't need thousands of people to be useful.

"a8c" is Automattic (makers of Wordpress) for anyone who was confused.

We DON'T post announcements there, rearely links. The core way we use P2s is to write a thought-out internal memos. Ideally, ever-green ones, that require time to chew on and asynchronous feedback.

My P2 posts are quite often 1000 chars+, I sometimes even write footnotes. (I work for Automattic)
