After 6 months of slow playing around and exploring, our team is now moving to Fibery because it truly is great. There is a bit of a learning curve for the “admin” setting up the processes, but for “users” all is pretty clear. The coolest part – any user having a “let’s try to do this differently” moment can try tuning the tool to demo/support it: just add a field here and there, drag a connection, and – bam – ready! If admin’s permissions allow, that is, hehe. Connecting everything is great not for the creative purposes only. I am now migrating our financial processes to Fibery, and having the ability to put a $ cost to everything is gold for budgeting. And for the chart-junkies out there – Fibery uses the Vizydrop beast as its internal chart engine, and boy those charts are powerful and beautiful at the same time! The possibilities of the “no code” part are vast, and the adaptive UI that’s always prioritizing clarity and stability ensures a solid ground under your own ultra-flexible tool. If you dig deep enough though – and I’m talking “custom buttons and connecting to other tools’ API” deep – there is some coding involved still. But the guides are good (lots of examples) and the community forum is helpful: I got more help than I expected from other fiber-heads and the dev team! Fibery FTW!

This such an amazing and versatile tool!

Very interesting! I definetely think this is something we could find useful. We're a new type of venture fund where we create products/companies from scratch, which means that we are going through a lot of processes and following our own methodology. Thanks for making this :)

Fibery is brilliant in all the ways that others have pointed out, so I won't repeat. All I will say is that the main reason why I appreciate Fibery is that it just feels like the team behind it 'get it'. By which I mean, I find myself often thinking, "Yep, that's how I would have done it". This gives me huge confidence that, even if the product isn't yet 100% what I want it to be, it's going in directions that align with my ideals. If you haven't tried it, give it a go. I just feel that you'll quickly decide if it fits you (and it will for many people). And if it does, I look forward to seeing you soon in the Fibery community :-) Finally, just because it has a 'product teams' focus, don't be afraid to use it for whatever suits your needs.

Meeting minutes can actually be fun - with Fibery. Our team has been working with Fibery since the beta. From the beginning, we were thrilled by the synthesis of simplicity, consistency, and flexibility and are more so every day. Converting notes into tasks with one click, tracing facts back and forth via the bidirectional links... The usage is so intuitive, even management consultants can work with it ^^ The support deserves extra praise: always fast, competent and friendly. Long story short: I can recommend Fibery with a good heart.

Fibery is a great tool for creating complex knowledge hubs. I've been using it for about a year now, and I'm pretty hooked. The tool's flexibility to create shells and fill them with all sorts of fields, and the fact that relationships in between these shells are managed visually, allows me (as a non-programmer), to better understand the structures I am trying to model. It is much more powerful that just a knowledge hub, and is one of the very few apps which incorporate thinking with design → this user interface really helps my brain to calm down : ) Personally, my favorite feature, is the deeply integrated whiteboard. This enables me to visually draw ideas and conclusions and use this as another view of the structured data. In the future, I would love to be able to use the whiteboard as a dashboard – mixing simple organizational thoughts with interactive representations of running workflows and data visualizations. There are a few additional features I'd like to see, the biggest being responsive web design, or an app to use Fibery on smartphones. Forms would be great and also some life hacks like sums at the end of filtered tables. But there is a very fast pipeline of improvements I've seen over time, so nothing to worry about. Also, I love the way you guys communicate. Looking forward to seeing even more!

@michael_dubakov I'm really excited to start working with Fibery for our 4-person real estate development company. I just made this decision after studying many tools like Clickup, Notion, Coda. Your "vs. X" blog posts have been very helpful in this regard and are comprehensive and refreshingly honest. Also, I really resonated with your November 2018 post on Hackernoon, which made me really believe in Fibery's vision. Now, the only major flaw I could find is that Fibery's seemingly great software doesn't seem to be very popular yet. Which to me is unbelievable. For example, just look at your great, refreshing website and nice, simple pricing model. It was only because of your own transparency that I could learn from the May 2021 Startup Diary that Fibery has a steady count of active accounts of only 280. Only 5 new customers in the last month, which is also declining. This makes me wonder if Fibery will still be around next year... @michael_dubakov Michael, isn't it time to get some help from AppSumo and grow your bank balance and user base?

@rudolfnn Thank you for the feedback! Indeed our traction is not stark so far, but we are not rushing with marketing efforts and focusing on product value. We have close to 100% retention, but did not figure acquisition yet, Fibery is quite complex product and we have to learn how to onboard teams more effectively. We have enough money for the next 2 years in the worst case scenario. And I do believe that we'll find a path to success soon :)

@michael_dubakov I appreciate your transparency and honesty. Contributes to the already huge likability factor of Fibery, you and your team. Besides the current traction, Fibery has everything to succeed! I think you are already doing a great job with the recent use case templates and well spoken English explainer videos. Perhaps the latest link missing link is an avid influencer like e.g. Tom Solid with 57.1k YT subs. He uses Notion, Coda and ClickUp but is always looking for a better tool as he is not completely satisfied at the moment. Fibery may be the solution he's looking for, but he's not aware of.
Michael Dubakov
@rudolfnn Yeah, we've heard similar things from few people and in general I agree that we need some publicity to get better traction
