As product makers, what do you use to keep up with the information you find during research?

Question

Recently at Collabwriting we started exploring product teams as a potential user base after some initial interest from a few teams. Some of the most common use cases we've heard from their side are: 1. having the research and conclusions they come to easily documented (not having to wonder why someone built something in a specific way or having to worry about someone deleting something important) 2. having a simple overview of competitors, ideas, and resources for learning What has your experience been so far? Have you used any specialized tools for this purpose?

Hi Sandra + community—

I’ve been doing competitor research lately and saving it in an Airtable base, which helps so I can filter by what the companies offer, and can also save useful things like features, messaging, etc.

Curious what others are doing.

@benswofford Thank you for the insight!

Also curious to learn more about what other teams are doing, we've been doing some user interviews and there are a lot of ways/tools people have been using for this purpose.
