Show HN: Thoughts on Digital Sticky Notes

So a lot of the philosophy and marketing puff here resonates with me - but I'm not seeing a demo, and I'm not able to login without a Google account?

I agree with csw-001. The visual makes it look like an elongated form of mind mapping, but the text seems to suggest there is something more there. What that is, I cannot tell.

The landing page looks good. Maybe you need an animation that gives a sample workflow.

For example, I can't tell if you are overloading the word "mission" when you talk about your company mission and whatever the users' "mission diagrams" might happen to be, because the usage feels different.

This looks like shit tbh.

Here's my feedback... this is a fairly obnoxious post, which is okay if you have a great product to back it up... but I can't see a great product. All I see is a basic landing page with a single screenshot and some vague feature descriptions.

It's also a huge ask to get people to signup with their Google account (to presumably use the product?) especially when there's; no links, no video, no information, no docs, no about-us, no support

Anyway, that's just my brutal first impression...

From the copy it sounds like a feature set of Hansoft. Unable to verify though.

That's a different take on task management apps, using directed graphs for tasks looks like a cool concept tbh.

Traditional project management implies this type of a graph relationship(task depends on/critical path).

UI on phone (android) breaks or is unusable -- will probably have a look at it on desktop later.

Wasn't able to zoom-in/out on the graph, should probably add the feature if it isn't there already.

All the best!

Have a real readable screenshot, everyone: https://snipboard.io/pVdYeH.jpg

From their sample project. All nodes open this modal when clicked, at least those I tried.

Put screenshots or product animations next to each selling point to explain them better

Landing page just shows a thumbnail sized image of a mind map, which doesn't seem like anything new. The idea of aligning your to do items to larger goal is also not new... OKRs, MBOs, RPM, V2MOM, etc all do this.

I don't see enough here to make me want to sign up for something to kick the tires. What makes this unique?

More feedback...

The first big key point on the landing page is to "visualize your projects" and there are no visualizations of what this means.

Retaining knowledge... how is his going to "capture" things for me? Surely it can't watch what the team is doing an intelligently document every time someone deviates from the plan or has an idea they don't record?

You mention how the product makes you start with your mission and work out from there, yet your landing page lists your mission last, like it's an after thought. If you're all about making the mission the first thing for projects, maybe lead with the mission on your site.

Your mission talks about it being interactive and moving as fast as your projects. Being able to see how fast things move (a video) would go a long way.

Other posters have already demolished the original post so I will refrain from commenting on it directly, but I will say the following:

The main value I get from paper sticky notes is that I stick them to my monitor, and they become a blatant physical reminder to attend whatever is written on the note. And if you ignore things for too long you eventually start losing screen real estate.

Digital sticky notes are useless - a half-baked imitation of both paper notes and real issue tracking systems.

"Tasks to do tasks dont necessarily lead you to accomplishing your goals. I built a tool with my team that makes [tasks to do tasks] . . . "

I played with it for a while, I believe it could improve its user experience. The first button of the hammer to the left doesn't work. It is not clear what each icon from the left means. I did found the documentation, but it would be nice to have it more at hand, its hidden. Also couldn't draw links between the boxes, I was lazy but couldn't figure it out intuitively. I would add some buttons to the boxes to draw links between them, like Miro does. Just some observations, found it interesting though. I am curious about the stack you used to build it.

First impression:

- Site took 19 seconds for DOMContentLoad - 55 seconds for Finish on a 600Mbps connection - 1.7MB of javascript for a landing page - Non-refundable billing at start of month/year - Twigflo does not warrant that the Service is free of viruses or other harmful components. Seriously?

Sorry, but there is no way I will sign-in, added the site to my blocked hosts.
