I've been following Reflect for a while - overall, seems like a great product backed by solid core values from the team (specially impressive they decided to offer E2E encryption oob); however, it's sad I couldn't get an answer after contacting them twice about student aid options.

Great product! Congratulations!
I've been using Reflect for the past year and what @maccaw and team have built here is really special. I started using Roam in early 2020 but development stalled and the core experience had syncing bugs, data loss, and it felt like so much time was spent fussing with themes and plugins and I lost momentum capturing and mapping thoughts. Reflect has a solid set of core features out of the box that fully replaces Readwise and Roam for me: — End-to-end encryption — beautiful default theme — stable and robust mobile app and editing experience — Google Calendar / Contacts sync with built-in meeting notes — Web highlighting — Kindle notes sync They've actually honed the feature set and are already paving the way for the next round of changes like universal task/todos, block references / transclusion, and other powerful note-mapping tools. They actively listen to their community and they are building something really special.

For anyone looking for an open source version of this please check out Logseq. Been using it for months and its very good. https://logseq.com/. Reflect is great if you don't want to self host but many of the same features are in logseq.

@simon_hilton logseq is an absolutely brilliant app! Reflect looks very close to it in terms of design and functions. I wonder how it is possible?
Dan Dascalescu
@simon_hilton I like that Logseq is open source, but it's annoyingly buggy. Besides the 1200 open issues on its GitHub, I've constantly run myself into new ones. Also, the focus on Markdown really distracts from the points - which is easily taking and reading your notes. At the same time, it's not really a Markdown authoring tool like Obsidian, because it focuses on blocks rather than documents. It doesn't support more than one unordered list in a block, for example.

Congrats to launch the product.

This looks quite similar to roam research.

Reflect is always open on 1/3 of my screen, where all my thoughts go

How this will be different from the notes on apple's native apps?
Jay
@harshwardhan_vairagade I think native apps doesn't support functions like mind-maps. You should check out Obsidian. This is a lot similar to Obsidian.

Been a paid user for months now. I see people asking here how it's different to all the other tons of notes apps, well it just is. It does a thing and it does it brilliantly. Take notes all through the day, link to people/things and have a running story of your interactions. So simple and so effective.

This app is a game changer. My favorites are, - Not enforcing structure to the notes - calendar integration - Kindle highlights sync Obviously this is a small team and it’s yet to mature in the market. But it ticks off most of the features that have become standard these days. Once they have efficient task/todo management, this would be hard to beat.

@sundar_visweswaran Hard to imagine beating MyLifeOrganized at task management.
