We are big fans of using pen & paper with an app to capture, organize, and share ideas. That is why we launched the THINKERS Notebook in December 2020. While technology has made people more productive, it has not helped improve the way we think. Otherwise every child with a laptop should be making straight A. Scientific research has shown that writing by hand has a number of cognitive...

Who would be crazy enough to create another note-taking app? After all, with so many options available, who really needs another one? But there is a design flaw in note-taking apps. They are designed for people who like to type out notes by hand. Sure that works great on the desktop, but it sucks when you are using a phone. So we created a new way to capture, organize, and collaborate on...

As a veteran podcaster, I can only share ideas from my own experience. #1 Frequency & Length Matter How often are you publishing and what is the length of the show? Audio works well for up to 30 minutes (based on average commute times and work-out periods). Video is tougher because once you hit 3min+ your engagement drops unless you have a tightly edited show that moves people through a...

Just completed the form and best of luck to you.

Two things... 1) Pre-built designs/templates that are professional. Most no-code applications have numerous ways to build out a solution but rarely include professional designs/templates for the target devices. 2) Making logic loops and arrays easy to understand. Basic conditionals and other simple programming logic is often very hard to represent for the average user. Non-coders think in...

Skype is the default for most one-on-one meetings and Google Hangouts for groups.

The level of authentication needed for any system is directly proportional to the level of secure information stored in that system. Hence I would want high security on my bank account but accessing a membership site that does not store my CC info, then passwordless is fine (especially if I can just get a SMS code that instantly will validate and log me in).

Great ideas solve hard problems. And the best way to solve hard problems is to spend more time observing the world around you and reflecting on how those problems impact others and how you can potentially solve them. For me the best ideas provide a simple solution to a commonly shared big problem. Note that just because it is simple, it does not mean it is simplistic. Simple solutions are hard...
