I’m putting the best of all these apps into one.
I made a joke the other day and a got way more engagement than I expected for an off the cuff comment. Always pay attention when this happens. You’re striking a nerve, and it’s important to step back and figure out why if it isn’t immediately obvious.
The problem is simple. People want less, not more.
Fewer apps that serve more than one purpose.
Elon Musk preached about X being the next Everything App, only for Nikita to release yet another app and kill off communities in the same week!
This is just crazy.
What’s incredible though about the current state of product development is we’re all empowered to push back on what doesn’t work for us.
I’ve never enjoyed having three separate apps for mail, calendar, and knowledge. But that’s me. Most people might think it’s crazy to stuff all of that into one product.
I’m just tinkering right now, but I’m enjoying the user experience far more than jumping between Superhuman, Notion, Notion Calendar, Obsidian, Apple Notes, etc.
What are you building that’s deeply personal?
