  • Onboarding and minimal UI

    From 2 comments
    • Just wanted to say that the onboarding for this is fantastic. It made me understand/explore way more than I normally would. I really wanted all those things in the help list to…

  • Logo scroll animation

Objections

  • Requires a Google account and Google Drive storage

    From 2 comments
    • Any plans to support login without Google Drive? I'd rather not store (or authenticate) with Google. Support for something like Amazon S3 or even SCP would be amazing.

    • Ugh. Requires connection to a Google account. Hopefully they will open registration.

    • I'm always pretty skeptical of any new "organizational tool" but this really fits with my workflow. Currently porting over most of my todo lists/tasks. Would be nice to get…

  • Date parsing is wrong for non-US date formats

    From 2 comments
    • Do you have any plans to support international dates (or an option to define how dates are parsed, @MM.DD vs @DD.MM)? @01.10 is parsed as January 10th but shold be October 1st…

    • Hey this is awesome! I love it. I have one serious bug tho. I'm a german user with a german keyboard and I'm not able to add a ":" (for example to add a time). I have to copy and…

    • Very cool.. thanks for sharing. Long time user of Keep, will try to see how this handles. Are geo-location tags also available within the notes you take? Can they be connected…

Questions

  • How import and export work

    From 1 comment

    • I've been looking for something more powerful than Workflowy that is also based on outlining, and this fits the bill. The biggest issue for me was that Workflowy didn't have the…
