wow... great looks aside, it's got "jealousy-inducing execution". I might just quite and go work at Arby's. How long from MVP to this version?
Isaac Williams
@jessekorzan I wrote a super rough MVP in mid-2015, which we iterated for around 6 months. The version you're seeing was re-written from scratch once we knew what we wanted to build, starting almost exactly a year ago.

I love this!

@oliver_rees ❤️️ the "cluttered look". Not everything should be in a perfect grid.

I've been using Milanote for a week now and I really like it! My preference would still be to add a native mac os app! Also another small thing: Can you please make it possible to disable the tips/chat function? It floats on top of the workspace and clearing notifications is not (always possible).
Ollie Campbell
@jtempel Thanks Jasper! A desktop app is definitely on the way, sorry if the tips have been annoying :)

any plans for a mobile client (iOS/Android) so i can look at my board or add to it on the go?
Brett Warren
@thestephen Definitely. It's at the top of our upcoming features poll - http://www.milanote.com/poll

Very slick interface. Would love an iOS version. Reminds me of padlet with a better UI.

@oliebol it took me a while to understand how I could use this product even though I already knew it was kinda cool. I think it would be great if 1. there was a video on a website explaining what Milanote is and what to use it for 2. there were some articles/blogs(?) showing how others use the app or how people could use it :) Good job on the product, keep it up!
Ollie Campbell
@vytasbu Thanks Vytas—agree about needing more examples/guides since it's such an "open" tool. That's going to be a big focus for us over the coming months/years :)

Very, very cool. It works like my brain does. I've shared the app with our design team who have already started using it. Well done, team.

I was initially skeptical of "yet another note app" but I really like the direction you've gone. A lot of creative projects really benefit from well-structured thought, and this is difficult to achieve when you want visuals, text and data together. As a business person, I've often resorted to tools like Powerpoint to accomplish this goal.

Interesting idea, love the easy to navigate interface.

I'm a non-technical co-founder of an app to help small business plan and track all their advertising. I wear a lot of hats. I'm also a visual thinker.

I need to spread things out and see how they all fit together. I need to be able to see the big picture and then dive into the details and I need to be able to do that fluidly and frequently on a variety of subjects. I really wanted to be able to use my entire screen real estate for this purpose.

I remembered seeing Milanote on Product Hunt when it was an idea and not yet available. I signed up for it and happily paid for the upgrade. It's the perfect app for me and I use it every day.

The feature I like best is being able to upload links for the content I curate. When I'm ready to learn about a subject, I have great content to choose from and a place to write down my thoughts. I can add images and notes and go from subject to subject. I can clear out my email fast and that is worth the money alone.

I would suggest you try Milanote because it can make your life so much easier.

Pros:

I love that I can go as deep or as wide as I want on any subject.

Cons:

Can't change the font size.
