@vit_aver Cheers to Layer’s bright start! Can I export my maps? Like, if I wanna share them as a PDF or something?

@syr Sounds great. Does it save my maps? Like, can I come back to them later at any time?

Great job on launching Layer! Can you share more about the Second Brain concept and how it sets your product apart from other task management systems?

@samalyx Hello and thanks for the feedback! One of the inspirations was the concept of "second brain" - from the 📚 book tiago forte! Our product will act as a tool with one goal - to unload from the brain as much information about the stages of the project or goal as possible! And even if you do not work on the project for a long time and then return to it - the graphics will help you instantly remember the vector of movement and the situation within the project. Next, we want any information to be quickly and clearly visually presented in a line-view. And not only presented but also then managed. I looked at your project too - socialbu, very interesting, I want to try it. And what software do you generally use for the basis of your management activities? Can y share?

@ihuzaifashoukat Thank you! But to be honest I didn't quite understand the question! Could you expand on it a little?

I'm going to try this for our design team's roadmap - way better than our usual mess of Notion docs and random tasks. The Second Brain concept actually makes sense for tracking design decisions and user research. Quick q - can you link related tasks across different projects? Working on a design system and need to see how component updates affect multiple products.

@thealisoneyo Great question! Right now, tasks in Layer are tied to a single project at a time, so each one stays neatly organized within its own roadmap. But—exciting news—we’re working on an update that will let you link a single task across multiple projects. This means you’ll soon be able to connect something like a design system update to all the products it affects. It’s gonna make tracking those cross-project dependencies so much easier. Stay tuned—it’s coming soon!

Review Layer ?

Reviewers mostly like Layer’s visual, mind map-based approach, saying it makes large projects feel easier to grasp and supports useful sharing for team brainstorming and collaboration. Several users also mention focus and organization benefits. But the praise is offset by repeated concerns about reliability and support: broken or missing features, template import problems, a nonworking task tab, unclear limits, file upload issues, and no obvious help, contact, or cancellation options. Overall, people like the concept and interface more than the current execution.
