Our goal with Walling is to create a beautiful looking app with an intuitive experience to help you collect ideas and organize projects into visual boards/walls.

We've just released the Windows desktop app and that makes Walling available on the web, macOS, Windows, Chrome/Firefox extensions. iOS/Android apps are in the making!

You can find the product roadmap here https://walling.app/XvglutVDmXy2tfcm5ggr/walling-product-roa...

Out of interest, what's the USP over something like Notion?

I don't think Walling is competing with Notion. The two tools may look similar but they have different directions. Walling is more of visual boards to collect and organize ideas into bricks (blocks) and sections. You can also add tags to those bricks and be able to curate those bricks/ideas from different Walls using the tags filtering.

I agree that Notion has a different direction, it just occurs to me that you could do that in something like Notion, which also has other features

Notion pages are not visual boards and it doesn't for example has inline tags and many other current and future features that Walling has. It's not because Notion is missing those features but because Walling is focused on one direction and that is collecting and organizing things visually.

Cool product! Does the data on the wall go to your servers or its stored locally on the machine? How about a one time payment version for the app that allows this

The data are stored in the cloud (servers) to sync if you access it from different devices. Besides the subscription plans, Walling is offering Lifetime access for $199 billed once to give you access to all the current and future platforms and features.

I click on the link to figure out what Walling is. I'm met with something about Linux and Mac and how the desktop is better. I'm parsing all that cognitive load instead of paying attention to your product. Sure that works for Slack. But when I land on Slack's page, I already know what Slack does these days...odds are I'm there because I'm already committed to using it. There's a difference between mature established products and new ones.

Or to put it another way, the landing page starts by disorganizing my ideas. Good luck.

You landed on the desktop page "/desktop-app". Please visit https://walling.app, that's our landing page :)

To be fair, that's not their landing page.

Ohh I know this app - We featured you guys on https://owwly.com and you should noticed some traffic from our source :D

Yes we did, thank you :)
