jonmal··on Show HN: Organize your work and personal life
Thanks for the feedback! We felt that although it's a very competitive market, many tools out there look the same and are often outdated (with the exception of Notion).

A low priced product does have some drawbacks (at least in SaaS), as you say, and churn is likely to be high. We'll know once we go commercial.

On the way there we want to gather as much feedback as we possibly can, both from our users and communities like this.

It's part fun/part business, but isn't that what it always should be when you launch a startup? :)

jonmal··on Show HN: Organize your work and personal life
Hey HN community,

We're a small group of people (3 to be exact) who got frustrated with having our work and personal notes, tasks, files, and projects scattered all over the place.

So we decided to do something about it, or at least try!

The product is in beta, but we would love any feedback, suggestions, comments, anything that comes to mind.

Please be brutally honest :)

jonmal··on Ask HN: What's the most valuable thing you can learn in an hour?
Learn how to give and receive feedback, both privately and at work

Too many times do we give feedback to people we both care of (and don't) in a way that hurts the individual rather than help them.

If the aim is to create better relationships with those you care for, then study feedback techniques, so you can deliver it in a constructive, radical candor way.

Useful in personal situations as well as at work.
