After a long hiatus from the startup world, I've finally decided what I want to build next.

A service that provides AI with its own email.

It sounds kind of backward at first (it's slower than chat and its... email) but after careful consideration I think it's worth exploring for these reasons: 1. It's used by everyone and integrates to everything. 2. It's non-realtime communication gives more time to the AI to create higher quality responses and actions. Also naturally unlocks some cool capabilities like "Do X every Monday at 9AM". 3. It acts as a digital identity on the web.

To be honest, I really really wanted to go with a B2B product after my last [B2C product](https://www.indiehackers.com/product/ryeboard) but I'm back in the B2C arena because I have a gut feeling this will unleash another layer of productivity with AI for pretty much everyone.

I admittedly do not have a solid use-case in mind nor have I done lots of customer calls/research. But I want to make sure from day 0 that we're building something relevant for customers instead of vaporware so I'd love to get in touch with some people who are interested in this kind of product. I'll provide 6 months of free service for those that get in touch with me for their troubles!

Reach out to me through the site in the post!

Hey guys, I'm on a quest to figure out how we can best utilize AI in our workflows and I'm making a bet integrating it with email could unlock a lot of productivity - especially for people who are not that tech savvy.

Working on a prototype right now but wanted to see if anyone was interested collaborating over this!

We will add better board navigation soon!

We're trying to build a platform where content can easily be exported & imported (hence the cards) and free spatial information can augment brainstorming / communication activities (hence the boards). I know the price isn't for everyone but I believe we've made a unique product that has connected with many people. But as you probably can tell by the rest of the comments here, we currently have a problem communicating these qualities and we will work on clarifying our message based on the feedback on this thread!

Yup, animations were done in-house by my co-founder and the font is Lato I believe.

Zapier integration is definitely on our to-do list!

Thanks!

You can only download individual cards at the moment. We will be supporting exporting by PDF or images soon!

Thanks!

Hello Ace!

First of all, thanks a ton for taking the time to give me this detailed and candid feedback - it is exactly what I needed to hear to plan out my next steps. At the moment I admit the product is a bit too general to survive in the harsh SaaS market and will need to find a market fit in order to survive.

I will reevaluate the direction of this project and what this product should be.I am grateful for all this interest in Ryeboard and thanks again for taking the time to write out this very detailed feedback!

Yup, this was an intentional design choice we made! Thanks~

Ouch! I was not aware of the unclickable video. And ha, fluffy marketing speak! I will be the first one to admit that the landing page isn't perfect. We will probably go through a dozen more iteration until we get the message right.

We do have a rough idea of who our target customers are but we are holding off any drastic feature developments until the numbers are more statistically meaningful! But wow, thank you so much for the constructive criticism. I will run this by my co-founder for our next iteration.

Sorry about that! There's a bug at the moment with the iFrame...

Ah! Thank you so much for the feedback, it is indeed a problem with the iframe - we will work out the bugs :)

Fair enough. I simply wanted to test an idea efficiently but I respect your opinion.

Unfortunately not yet :( Good old fashion copy & paste or downloading of files are the only methods for now.

Hey tbirrell. It's free up to a point and after passing said limit all your data is still available to edit and view - you just won't be able to create more content!

Yup!

We have swapped out trello with Ryeboard for our team's internal use. We will probably swap out our current road-map trello board for a Ryeboard one later this month!

Indeed! UX improvements and a tutorial system + guidebook is one of our top priorities.

It was a side project of mine along with working two jobs and studying at university - progress was definitely very slow. But since January, I have created a team of three and focused on this project to flesh it out into a startup!

I will also make it more clear that we don't support mobile yet. However, I hope you enjoyed what we're offering right now!

Hey there clort!

I understand what you're saying. One of the top requests from our users is actually a self-hosted version of our service. While we are exploring this possibility, nothing is guaranteed for now.

Thanks, glad you like it!

That version was forked a long time ago by someone when my repository was still public - it is not official. I am considering a self-hosted version but it is not part of my immediate plan I'm afraid :(

Sweet sauce! Hope you'll have a good time with it :)

Thanks a lot!

Yea, we'll look into how users are synergizing Ryeboard with different products and see how we can make that process smoother :)

Yup, and they've got a great product over there!

We're aiming to differentiate by bringing more traditional whiteboard elements to the game (like free-drawing) and keeping boards separate unlike Milanote's board-in-board system!

Just added a demo to Ryeboard, feel free to check it out!

Hi dhumph, totally agree with you. This is a side project of mine and I didn't really have much time to work on on-boarding yet! I just added a video tho and will get around to adding a demo soon. Thanks for your feedback!

Haha, had a crazy night huh?

Glad you like Ryeboard tho! I have a roadmap prepared on Trello you can check out: https://trello.com/b/lHnYluHG/ryeboard-road-map

Definitely will add lots of more content soon~

No, this is not intentional. I suspect a problem with google analytics... I'll get right on it! Thanks for the feedback Nadya!

edit: Just deployed a fix that should allow you to view the page. Let me know if it still doesn't work! Thanks again~
