Hey I’m working on Amna (https://getamna.com). It seems super relevant to this problem space. Will post to Show HN next week for more thoughts.

Amna is a fast way to do context switching. You write a task, and start working on it. Amna gives you a space with an editor and browser (more in the future), and saves your work. It makes information really easy to navigate. Though not great for general browsing, it’s perfect when you have a task to do. And you can easily come back to something at a later time.

I highly recommend making the messaging simpler before you post it on HN.

That video is atrocious. At first I was upset at how much time you wasted on flashy poorly executed effects. Then I realized the entire video is like that. If you're going to show only one word at at time, it has to be something short like a 3 word tagline, not entire sentences. It's impossible to follow, you have so many cuts, so fast, padded with things like "woah, a browser".

I still don't really understand what the app even is. A lot of it is poorly worded, or shouldn't be there.

"Right-clicking to add a task" is not a feature that should be on the landing page. Unless you mean you can right click a tab that's not running your app. Nor should there be things like "Runs in Chrome" - so is it an extension, chrome only?

My 2c would be to make things as simple as possible for the user by cutting out ambiguity, and focusing on user stories.

Thanks for the feedback! Glad I’m testing it out beforehand. I’ll update the messaging and revisit the video to be clearer. Probably change it completely.

It’s not a chrome extension - it can open up chrome windows.

This is a cool idea, nice work. I’ve long wanted something like this, but with the option to include long-running terminals sessions as well and my IDE configuration. Something akin to Mac’s Spaces but allowing an instance of an app across multiple Space collections.

That’s definitely something we could do in the future. I know VS code can already do stuff like this.

I really do dislike your promotion video. Way too fast & flashy. Too many cuts taking me out of it.

Thanks for the feedback! I’ll clean that up
