Gather - The minimal, modular organizer that cuts through the clutter

@danr_4 1) He did it for me (I'm not going to take the time to order random pieces from China and put something like this together myself). 2) He told a great story I saw myself in. 3) He thought through the details. 4) I like the brand and already know the products are good quality. 5) I enjoy good design and craftsmanship—it makes me happy. Not here to argue, just answering your question to hopefully give you more insight into the mindset of a consumer that maybe you can apply to your own business to some success.

@seanwes Notice you didn't even mention the reason this product was actually made for - to stay more organized. You seem to be pretty self-conscious, do you realize you're paying $100 for something you don't need?

@danr_4 @seanwes I believe that someone who is cluttered is going to stay cluttered, even though they might buy products like this in the hopes that it will help. Notice in the video that papers added a lot of clutter to his desk yet this didn't solve that issue at all. Some people just think differently and need a bit of disorganization to help them find things.

@danr_4 watch out, I hear malls have lots of products that cost even hundreds of dollars. I am sure no one buys the products though. So many irrational people though. Its like people buy products for more than just the utility of it. Things like product quality, materials, design, the brand perception that comes with it to communicate to others around them what values they care about or what they aspire to be. Buying all these products they don't need. Just give them a roof, bread, and water. That's all they need.

@jcwinter God forbid there are products in the world that cost more than $5. Seriously though, I backed this project because I believe in Ugmonk, I like Jeff's attention to detail, my desk could use some organization, and I appreciate high quality products that don't skimp on the details or materials. Sure, you could buy a $5 iPhone dock on Amazon, but people who buy from companies like Grovemade (https://grovemade.com) don't care about the cheap knock-off options. They want quality and they like to invest in companies that produce quality. So if people don't like it, they don't have to buy it. End of story.

@neurohacked Don't you see the iPhone? ...and sticky notes aren't exactly cheap either.

@kunalslab a match made in heaven :)

@kunalslab just thinking the same

@mscccc we'll have to do another edition of "Share Your Workspace" in December (unless @ugmonk can ship sooner!). I'm trying to design an office purely based on Product Hunt recommendations. ☺️

@kunalslab I was totally thinking this weekend that would be cool to have on PH profile pages.

@mscccc yes! We'll have to discuss this further offline. Been meaning to put my thoughts down on profiles and company pages!

@mijustin @studioneat Thanks Justin! I'm in good company :)

@brandenharvey Yes! So excited to finally get it on your hands.

@dubstrike I'm keeping it streamlined with just white for the Kickstarter so we can deliver on time but after Kickstarter matte black is definitely something I'm considering.

@dubstrike Definitely would've gotten it if it came in matte black :)

@erickbarron86 Sure, there are definitely cheaper options out there, but I wanted to create a premium product that felt in line with the quality of my Apple devices. I know it's not for everyone, but I'm glad it's resonating with people :)

@ugmonk @erickbarron86 is it compatible with my Android? 😂

@kunalslab @erickbarron86 Yes, works with almost any phone with or without a case. http://bit.ly/2qnVct0

@ugmonk @erickbarron86 what if I have more than 4 pens?

@alextdevine thanks Alex!

@grahamxcampbell Thanks Graham! Yep, I know Gather is definitely not for everyone and that's ok. It's definitely resonating people that want it and I couldn't be happier with the response. The current version is not really portable (it's quite heavy) but that's a great idea for a future release. Thanks!

@grahamxcampbell @ugmonk 100% this. A couple people who complain don't matter as much as 800+ people who believe in the brand and the product.

@jasondoesstuff Ok, I will :)
