That's correct. Thanks for coming up with a new way to explain it!

Sorry I replied a little late, but thanks for the advice.

Good call, I'm also a fan of Simon Sinek.

Thanks guys for the feedback. I think it's pretty clear what should be worked on next.

Ah that makes sense. I think what you're looking for is the ability to mention records rather than to embed them, or both.

As for the switching to mobile scenario, it also makes sense. I'll think about this, it might be a button that allows you to "force sync" everything.

Thanks for the detailed explanations :)

Offline mode should work on linux too. I only have ubuntu so that's what I tested. It's just service workers underneath, so if it's the first time you open the app, you do have to wait for a few minutes for it to download.

Thanks for the advice. Appreciate it.

Can you elaborate? Are you not able to access MS store for some reason?

Thanks for the feedback. You would click the select source option if you want to use data from another page. Good catch on the name field not being rename-able, that feature will be added soon.

You can setup a password upon clicking on the verification link. Someone here suggested OTP and I think it's a good idea, might have that in the future instead. Yeah the mobile apps are built with Flutter.

Nope, but I guess the fake logos in the demo screenshot might remind you of them. Google also has these rainbow colors tho.

Curious what the argument is against Snap? They allow very easy updates

The letter 'm' bug is fixed on version 0.22.7, sorry about that!

Noted on the lack of guidance and onboarding. I can see the confusion you had with the board module and have some ideas on improving it. Thanks for giving it a try.

Do you mind sharing what you tried to do? So I can improve the feature discovery or add the features later on.

Editor.js looks interesting. Nino Doc is based on ProseMirror. Never heard of grist before but I think react-datasheet-grid is a pretty good. I've been itching for a frontend rewrite of Nino Sheet.

It's doable. Just curious what's stopping you from switching email? Is email forwarding possible in your case?

Thanks for trying it out. Yeah sorry for the confusion, embedding a record was not allowed but I think enough people tried to do it so I'll enable it.

OTP is a good suggestion, thank you. Sorry that you're seeing a white screen, are you maybe on iOS? Anyhow I'll look into the issue.

We should! Just sent an email to the address on your profile

You raised an issue that I plan to fix soon. Currently certain fields (i.e. time range) only show on specific modules (i.e. calendar) but I'm planning to allow them everywhere.

Could you share your use case on embedding a single record? I disabled that for now because I imagined people would usually embed all records together in a certain view.

Hm I'll think about searching for blocks in autocomplete, or perhaps some way to use advanced search inline.

Your experience in offline mode was actually expected. I assume you never opened the other pages on your phone, so they weren't saved on your device. Nino's not syncing all pages all the time, but only the ones you open, for performance reasons. Do you think having some sort of mechanism to pre-sync certain pages is necessary?

The double tap thing is a known issue on iOS. It's in the backlog and will be addressed at one point. Thanks for trying it out.

Nino Meet is built on LiveKit, shout out to them!

Thanks for the actionable feedback regarding marketing and onboarding. You're spot on that the home page is being like docs for other engineers, I didn't even realize I was doing that.

Thanks for writing this out, I appreciate the super-long feedback.

1. Nino competes with a better foundation and architecture. It is true MSFT and GOOGL have more engineers, but I'd say startups don't compete with thousands of them, just a dozen or fewer actually working on the product. Btw, pivot tables are supported, check out the "Widgets" button at top right corner.

2. You have good points here. The communication on the use cases can definitely be improved. As you and others have pointed out, Nino's landing page does feel like a documentation page for other devs right now...

3. It is solo and I view it as a life's work in progress. It is precisely because I want it to stay for the long term that I've resisted seeking any VC for now, to not dilute and lose too much control in the beginning.

Thanks for the recommendation on the possible directions going forward, I'll think about them!

Thanks for finding the letter "m" bug, an embarrassing one for sure! Also thanks for bringing up the issue of select all on mobile, I'll think about how to improve that. Adding a tag line for each module is also a good idea.

Interesting that you mentioned fine-grained security. Currently block-level access control can be achieved with block embeds, but it has to be done one by one. I looked into enforcing access based on a query for page embeds (so allowing only portions of the page), it turned out to be non-trivial! Might try to implement in the future.

Thanks for breaking down the different levels of self-hosting. I'll keep them in mind.

If you want delete your workspace after testing it, you can go to Tools > Workspace > Scroll down to the bottom, click "Danger Zone", type in password to delete it

I appreciate this feedback. Thanks for writing it out. You have some valid points here and I'll think about them going forward.

You mentioned you were in a similar place to this, I'm curious to hear about your experience and the specific decisions you made back then, if you're comfortable sharing.

Thanks. I think the concern about software provider shutting down is valid. Heck, I still remember being pissed when Google deprecated two products I used within a month (a few months back).

Self-hosting might be too complex to setup, but do you think single tenant offering helps? I don't know if it makes sense for individuals tho.

In addition to HTML & CSV, there is an option to export JSON, which supports more formats. In a way, it is an open format (.json) but I'll have to add relevant documentation. PDF support will also come at one point.

Awesome idea. Thanks!

For the Sheet module, when you create a new field in the modal view, it'll be available to all other records too within the page, as you probably found out.

Thanks for pointing that out. I actually had "generous free tier" but worried some people might not think it's generous...I'll think of something better

Noted. You're definitely not the only one asking this, so it's top on the list.

Side note: I did start implementing PDF exports, but for anyone curious, it's actually a lot more complex than imagined. There is no easy way to turn HTML to PDF (if anyone knows otherwise, please share) and there are font and language complications.

You brought up great history! Shout out to the first ever (popular) integrated software Lotus 1-2-3/Symphony/Notes (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integrated_software)
