Jeff Sheldon@ugmonk · Founder, Ugmonk
@alextdevine thanks Alex!
Kunal Bhatia@kunalslab · Co-founder & Design Lead @SlidesUp
Now this would look great on the Autonomous desks I'm about to order! 👨‍💻
Jeff Sheldon@ugmonk · Founder, Ugmonk
@kunalslab a match made in heaven :)
Mike Coutermarsh@mscccc · Code @ Product Hunt
@kunalslab just thinking the same
Kunal Bhatia@kunalslab · Co-founder & Design Lead @SlidesUp
@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. ☺️
Mike Coutermarsh@mscccc · Code @ Product Hunt
@kunalslab I was totally thinking this weekend that would be cool to have on PH profile pages.
Kunal Bhatia@kunalslab · Co-founder & Design Lead @SlidesUp
@mscccc yes! We'll have to discuss this further offline. Been meaning to put my thoughts down on profiles and company pages!
Jordan Hosmer@jordanhosmer · Director of Marketing, GoodPeople
@ugmonk @kunalslab yes. We've already got the desks, now just need to convince boss to order 6 of these!
Jonathan Simcoe@jdsimcoe · Designer. Jesus lover. Family man.
This looks incredible @ugmonk. Well played, sir!
Jeff Sheldon@ugmonk · Founder, Ugmonk
@jdsimcoe thanks Jonathan!
Branden Harvey@brandenharvey · Storyteller
I got to see the prototype in action and was blown away. I already backed this morning. So excited about this. SO needed!
Jeff Sheldon@ugmonk · Founder, Ugmonk
@brandenharvey Yes! So excited to finally get it on your hands.
Brad Weaver@sbradweaver · Partner at The Banner Years
Great work Jeff! It looks amazing!
Jeff Sheldon@ugmonk · Founder, Ugmonk
@sbradweaver Thanks Brad!
Jason Zook@jasondoesstuff · I do weird things on the Internet.
TAKE MY MONEY JEFF!
Jeff Sheldon@ugmonk · Founder, Ugmonk
@jasondoesstuff Ok, I will :)
Justin Jackson@mijustin · MegaMaker
To me @ugmonk has a really interesting brand. Besides @studioneat he's the only niche business I've bought physical products from. Just backed this one as well!
Jeff Sheldon@ugmonk · Founder, Ugmonk
@mijustin @studioneat Thanks Justin! I'm in good company :)
Wojtek Witkowski@dubstrike · Rayfeed
Any plans for walnut + matte black?
Jeff Sheldon@ugmonk · Founder, Ugmonk
@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.
James Traf@traf · Chief Design Spoiler
@dubstrike Definitely would've gotten it if it came in matte black :)
Patrick Dodd@p_dodd · President, Blinksale
Massively dig it dude!
Jeff Sheldon@ugmonk · Founder, Ugmonk
@p_dodd thanks Patrick!
Åke Brattberg@akebrattberg · Founder Statbot.io (Intercom Analytics)
Awesome! Great work Jeff!
Jeff Sheldon@ugmonk · Founder, Ugmonk
@akebrattberg thanks! Appreciate the kind words :)
Brennan Dunn@brennandunn · Founder, Double Your Freelancing
@ugmonk absolutely <3 this. Nice work!
Jeff Sheldon@ugmonk · Founder, Ugmonk
@brennandunn thanks Brennan! Means a ton :)
Igor Ozherelev@oiv · CEO, LeadCooker
Love it! 👍
Jeff Sheldon@ugmonk · Founder, Ugmonk
@oiv thanks!
Dan Rosenshain@danr_4 · I try to be honest
I guess someone has to balance the hype.. What the hell? $100 AFTER DISCOUNT for a few office supply boxes? I find it ridiculous. If you're not a tidy person, this won't make you one. And even if it would... you could just buy a few boxes with the same shape for what.. $10? probably cheaper from China. Can anyone here rationally justify purchasing this for t… See more
Sean McCabe@seanwes · seanwes
@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 ar… See more
Dan Rosenshain@danr_4 · I try to be honest
@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?
Tom Bielecki@tombielecki · Cofounder, PrintToPeer
@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 th… See more
Justin Winter@jcwinter · Co-founder & CEO, Boostopia
@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 w… See more
Cory Miller@corydhmiller · Product Director at seanwes
@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 peo… See more
Sainath KM@sainathkm · Dream chaser @SaintProjects
Really brilliant product - Clean and Minimalistic in design but price is way too much!! Agree with @danr_4 on this!
Andy Parkhills@aparkhills · Application Developer
Great for OCDs like me! ;)
Jeff Sheldon@ugmonk · Founder, Ugmonk
@aparkhills Yes! Glad you like it :D
Zachary Green@zachary_green · COO, Mysa
Backed yesterday! The rollout for this product was fantastic :)
Jeff Sheldon@ugmonk · Founder, Ugmonk
@zachary_green Thanks Zach! Really appreciate it. So pumped to see it all live. Finally.
Erick Barron@erickbarron86 · Internet Marketer
I like it but Holly crap, that's so expensive for a small organizer.
Jeff Sheldon@ugmonk · Founder, Ugmonk
@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 :)
Kunal Bhatia@kunalslab · Co-founder & Design Lead @SlidesUp
@ugmonk @erickbarron86 is it compatible with my Android? 😂
Jeff Sheldon@ugmonk · Founder, Ugmonk
@kunalslab @erickbarron86 Yes, works with almost any phone with or without a case. http://bit.ly/2qnVct0
Hardik Pandya@hvpandya · Product Designer
@ugmonk @erickbarron86 what if I have more than 4 pens?
Garrison Snelling@dev_gar · Founder, RemoteTogether
I realize this is stupid... But i'd really like something like this for my refrigerator!
Jeff Sheldon@ugmonk · Founder, Ugmonk
@dev_gar Ha, maybe that's the next version ;)
Patrick Thompson@neurohacked
Wow....$149 for a block of wood and some plastic bins. No thanks.
Nat Collins@natcollins · Chief Redshifter @Veloloop
@neurohacked Don't you see the iPhone? ...and sticky notes aren't exactly cheap either.
John Schenk@johnschenk · Founder at Taffy
I'm pretty organized, so not for me. But congrats!
Evan Kimbrell@evankimbrell · Founder, Sprintkick
I love the thoughtfulness and the aesthetic. It's really well done. With that being said, yeah that price stings a little. I'm sure if it gains popularity, there will be knockoffs on Amazon for 1/4 the price (btw you should probably plan for that)
Jeff Sheldon@ugmonk · Founder, Ugmonk
@evankimbrell Thanks Evan. There are definitely cheaper options out there (and will probably be knockoffs) but I didn't want to skimp on materials or quality, hence the higher price point.
