Personal Notebook for Everything
It's a personal notebook that I can use to jot down creative ideas so it solves the problem of disorganized note taking apps or notebooks.
It helps me collaborate with a remote team on creative projects, copywriting, and larger projects and tasks in general company-wide so we can always see where we're at individually and on different teams.
Stable product with a valuable combination of structured text and databases
What is our primary use case?
What is most valuable?
The application's most valuable feature is the combination of structured text and databases.
