Every notes app I tried had the same shape: a list on the left, a note on the right. And every one of them slowly became a filing job folders to maintain, notes to name, a structure to keep tidy before I could write anything.Hejour has no sidebar and no note list. There's one page per day. Today is always the page you land on. If something belongs to Thursday, you type @ and write a section for Thursday it shows up on both days.The thing I didn't expect: without a list, there's nothing to organise, so there's nothing to fall behind on. Two weeks of not writing leaves no mess.What's the one feature you'd remove from the notes app you use now? I'm genuinely collecting answers.
Three minutes feels like a lifetime on the internet today.
If a new user doesn't get a clear win within the first 60 seconds they close the tab and forget you exist. We completely cut out email verification and team invites before onboarding to let people play with the core feature first. Getting them straight into the main workspace cut our dropoff rate significantly.
Have you tried deferring the signup wall until after they perform their first action?
This question is for employees who have or would like to transition to working from home, but employers are free to respond with their thoughts as well.
I watched a stranger use our product for the first time last week. Screen share, I just stayed quiet and watched.
It was painful
She skipped the welcome screen, missed the main button, and spent almost two minutes in settings looking for something that was right on the dashboard.
Last week I was on a first call with a potential client. Three people joined: me, her, and AI Bot.
She didn't mention it. I didn't ask. But I noticed I started talking differently. More careful, more filtered, like everything was on the record. Because it was.
I asked a few founder friends and got completely opposite reactions:
Half of them said "who cares, notes are notes, I have one in every meeting"
Our early Discord and launch feedback was dominated by a tiny group of power users asking for deep customizations and niche integrations. We spent a full quarter building for them only realize our boarder subscriber base was struggling with basic onboarding and core navigation.
How do you filter out the noise from super-vocal power users when planning your core roadmap?
When we launched, we priced our entry tier at $9/month to make it an easy decision for anyone. But we noticed potential buyers kept asking hyper skeptical questions about security reliability and support . As an experiment we bumped the starting to $29/month with zero product changes, and closing conversations actually became smoother.
Have you ever found that raising your prices changed the quality or confidence of your buyers?
