We experimented with Linear and Jira, but they were either too rigid or too heavy for what we needed during rebuild mode. Airtable gave us the perfect balance of structure and flexibility. We used it to run lightweight pipelines across bugs, performance issues, user requests, and growth experiments, without slowing down the team or losing visibility.
Like everyone else, we came from InVision/Sketch and Adobe, but they didn’t support the kind of live, collaborative iteration our team needed. Figma let us rapidly redesign SoWork’s entire UI/UX, often with live feedback from teammates inside SoWork itself. It powered the sleek, snappy, user-loved redesign we’re launching with v2.
We tried Confluence and Google Docs for knowledge management, but they always felt clunky or scattered. Notion became our single source of truth for SoWork v2. It handled everything: design briefs, eng specs, meeting notes, and even our async standups. It kept our remote team fast and focused, and made it easy to connect user feedback directly to product updates.

Between is awesome! Imo it solves a major problem with hybrid and in-person work because of their novel audio and cancelling technology. I can take meetings in person with others in the same meeting around me no problem. Makes it friendly for anyone else on the call who is remote. Thanks Between team!
I actually love 1P. Helpful across the team. The ONE thing I'd slightly appreciate is better empty states for why you can't find a particular password in there when searching. (E.g. this pw may not have been saved because...; or this pw may have been saved to a personal account...; etc).
Otherwise keep on rockin'!
