Nothing better than simplicity!

I've been using this product for over a year now. Mostly as a substitute for the long lost Del.Ico.us, which Yahoo bought and destroyed. I've been thrilled to see the more recent additions that make Sprout more than just a place for links, and turn it into a simplified planner that I use to start my day. Definitely recommended.

@bjmendelson Thanks for the eloquent description of your experience πŸ™ When we first started working on this, finding a good way to save and share a curated collection of links was the focus (like a syllabus). It later evolved to help take action and do more with those saved links oppose to collecting dust.

Sounds interesting; I have signed up now. The UI looks inspired by Hey.com.

@deepak09 Thank you so much for checking out Sprout! Regarding the `visual design` Hey, Pinterest, and other apps that take take a minimal simple approach to reduce overwhelm were inspiration. I plan on spending more time on the visual design front of Sprout to experiment more, innovate, and settle into a more unique visual language. 90% of time with Sprout as been spent crafting the product workflows – striving to solve my own needs for a simple, minimal-looking, yet powerful – daily planner. I reached a point where the product is sticky for me and I don't see a replacement. I'm interested in getting more feedback on how it works for others. If you're willing to share, I'd love to hear any unfiltered feedback on how well it works for you as a daily planner. No worries about hurting my feelings :) btw – it looks like you're working on a lot of interesting stuff and I wish you luck on those endeavors. πŸ™Œ

@watlandc Hey Chris, I have begun creating leaf's and setting up my project on Sprout! So far, I love it. It needs a few more functionalities like Export Leaf and Boards (Like trello inside a Leaf). But I'm going to keep using this! If you want to connect with me, check scrollme.today/deepak

@deepak09 Thanks for the feedback! I'll track the exporting of leaves/trees request. Just checked out your page and followed.

Hey everyone! We’re excited to share Sprout – Fast, simple, daily planner. Sprout brings together your to-dos, notes, bookmarks, and project information to reduce overwhelm. Information is organized into tree-like groupings. Unlike to-dos apps, Sprout trees are nest-able allowing you to save diverse kinds of information. We tried all the task and project management apps and found them to be too restrictive or too complex. The core workflows of Sprout are: βœ… Organization - save diverse kinds of information together in tree-like groupings. βœ… Agenda - daily planner to manage your information flows. βœ… Links - save an process online information faster. We would love to hear your feedback and suggestions! You can also reach us at hey@sprout.io. Try creating a free personal or team workspace and overcome overwhelm today! πŸ‘‰ sprout.io

Grats on the launch! I really like the theme and simplicity here - getting a lot of Hey inbox / Basecamp vibes 😊

@saasdesigner Thanks Bren! One design pattern that I've seen before, but Hey seems to have reinvigorated is the bottom toolbar. It reminds me of the buttons on a F1 race car steering wheel – available at your fingertips, but out of your way as to not distract. I checked out your PH profile – just followed for growth tips πŸ™Œ
