I'm a big fan of the Masterminds. I have mine open at all times on my desk, and typically use one sheet per week. The pages are big enough that I'm able to cordon it off into a few distinct sections, which really fits my mental model. I love that it lies flat and feels nice, and because each pack should last me so long (a year or so?) I didn't really sweat the price against using like printer paper or a cheaper notebook.
@peterkimfrank Hey Peter glad its working for you! Can always glue stick together a bunch of printer paper as well :) Cool to hear 1 sheet/week is your pace, some useful feedback!

Been buying the notebooks ever since you fist came out on Product Hunt. Wish I can buy a package of 3 with the large, medium, and small notebooks together. Also, kind of annoying that notebooks are a two dollars below free shipping, making us buy packs of two at once. But, business is business, and I'm glad you guys are still kicking.
@ariehmovtady Thanks for the good words appreciate it! We've been working hard on adding more variety and options, going bit by bit. Glad you're digging the notebooks!
Co-founder Adam here. We designed the Mastermind as a desktop companion that is sized just right to fit under the Apple wireless keyboard. It has our signature dot grid that many people love (including me!).
The pack comes with two desk pads, each just high enough that your hands can rest on it without disrupting your work flow, but there if you need it.
I saw this notepad here and it was my first time trying the dot grid pattern. It's beautiful!
I ordered it from Canada and paid shipping and the first product I got was excellent. I didn't expect 2 notepads but I got 2 that were joined and you could tare off the split and use. My friends saw me used it and wanted one!
Then I just re-ordered one again and this time it was much more different. The notepad comes in 2 notepads as well but the bottom one has no cover and the top one has no back cover. It's absurd! You can take this anywhere without looking like a careless middleschool student.
To add insult to injury, I contacted Baron Fig and their Customer Experience Lead essentially calls me a liar saying, "[t]he packaging has stayed the same since day one."
I'm looking for good dot grid notebook recommendations (must have large sheets).
Pros:
Thin and large large sized sheets
Cons:
They've changed the design so now it's 2 incomplete desk pads — one with no back and one with no front :(
