A friend sent me an invite a while back, first I was like "oh god, now have to try this just to be polite..." Just to make it clear, I have used nothing but native browsers for the last decade, it's like Jobs and the turtleneck, just one less thing I need to think about. But still, Arc was so different, and after getting better at memory management it's so good I don't see myself going back anytime soon. So I really hope they can realise their vision for Arc and stay around for a long, long time.

I just love it. The name does not do it justice. Its a great, no actually, excellent tool for collaboration in real time. And Its so far the only whiteboard, collabtool I have found that actually has a working Mindmap feature.

It was the shit back in the day, still is today - but it has lost some of its appeal. Maybe because it was so close to old-school IRC and lean before. I don't know. But choosing between slack vs discord these days is getting increasingly difficult :)

I was about to sign up when a thought dropped in... why am I filling out a form to use a AI-assistant product? Why am I not qualified / onboarded through the same tool? And then I started looking around and it seems like a pretty anonymous MVP launch. Nothing wrong with that per se, it's just the combination of disconnects from product strategy with lacking contact surface that kinda peels the wrong way. Not reviewing based on this, just leaving this here as food for thought.

I knew we agreed not to put a label on it this early, but I do think I ..... I think I love you AnyType. I don't care if the whole worlds knows it too...... <3 <3 <3 Where have you been all my life? It's so far the perfect mix of Notion, Craft and Obsidian. Seeing as it's early days yet. I am of course hoping for more import possibilities etc. But WTAF (What a Terrific Application Folks...)... :) It's four out of five because: - The onboarding needs to be more dialled in. The default set clutters up the starting point to much. Think onboarding as in Personas, who are we taking in, and tailor a set of 10-15 specialised onboarding tours that are relevant. Or you could go a simpler route, just map out a household, as im sure most of us will do in this any way. There you will have relations, objects, sets collections etc. And. it will be easier to grasp. I take it back. You get five, but I still mean what I said about the onboarding tho.

A great contacts app to gather contacts, across messaging services etc. The AI is still a bit rough, I would rather see it work more seamlessly in the background but not rewrite notes without highlighting it.

Still not seemless, responses are not as accurate as “trained” ChatGPT 4 session. But the tool has great potential. Especially if the brains can be accessed through iOS keyboard.

I have used Superhuman as an example in so many UX / UI discussions and I loved using it myself as well. And I have been following @rahulvohra for ages, ever since I found that piece you wrote on modelling viral growth. Superhuman is simply one of those products that has done most things right. Launch, onboarding, feature priority and you know that feature you got used to not using “Give us your feedback”? The team is there, answering, taking your feedback. It’s simply awesome. Still waiting for that iCloud support tho…. :)
