I read the homepage and I don't know what fibery does. Am I an idiot, because this seems to happen tho me a lot with modern saas?

View on HN

I read this and thought you must be an idiot. Then I read their front page and now think I must also be an idiot.

Reading deep into https://fibery.io/about-us, it seems like they're a Notion competitor.

It's an AI startup. Its main purpose is to raise money, grow the team, and seem sophisticated. That's why they talk about these things first. Nobody knowing what the product does is a feature /s

I like that they have this page: https://fibery.io/blog/fibery-vs-x

I think more companies should call out and explain the differences between their product and some of their competitors. Pretty good idea.

You might not be the only one. There's literally a button on the homepage labelled "I don't get it, explain it differently."

It's effectively a user-friendly database at the end of the day. I used it to plan my wedding and I love it.

This is the r/selfawarewolves of the UX community.

I think the video shows a bit better clue of what's going on, but it needs to be condensed. It's trying to show so many things that it has to jump to the next one while you're still absorbing the last one. Show half as much in 70% of the time.

Agreed. I find their footer very confusing. It made me think that the site is a spoof on SV culture.

Links: Anxiety, Build, Connect, Freedom

Clicking Anxiety,

The page is broken up into the sections: Try, Suffer, and Quit...

The footer on that page says...

* Being Self-centered * Boring * Really contact us? * WFH * They Suspended Trump

The work of a funny intern or ?

Not only that but the fricking scroll and visual effects almost crashed my browser

Just from looking at the diagrams, I'm guessing a competitor to Atlassian/Gitlab/Azure DevOps suites, but seemingly minus the git server and binary artifact repositories (which Atlassian also doesn't offer). So Wiki with diagramming tools and something like scrum or kanban boards. A persistent digital whiteboard, basically.

Looks like they also have CRM, but to be honest, I've never understood what that even is.
