This is definitely speaking to me — I like being able to switch between tools, depending on the project, but dislike the silos most tools (trello, google sheets / airtable, canvas / google docs / text) create around structured data.

can you elaborate on the idea of "tool silos" ? not sure what you mean

They mean you can't see todo list items on your calendar, or calendar items on your kanban, because the data ends up "siloed"

they probably mean the data is less portable across multiple tools. So, you're putting data in multiple places, and creating individual relationships based on the view.

And, putting data in multiple places means extra time and money managing it. Generally.
