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!

Layer looks like an innovative take on task and project management, focusing on visually intuitive tools for organizing and planning. Its visual mind map structure and focus mode for breaking down large projects could make it stand out compared to traditional tools. The upcoming features, like AI-powered planning and gamification, add an exciting dimension to the platform. How do you plan to integrate AI into the planning process, and what role will gamification play in improving user engagement or productivity?

Hi Vit and the Layer Team! 👋🏻 First off, a huge congratulations on the launch! 🎉 I’m already on the premium plan and super excited about exploring all that Layer has to offer. The concept is fantastic, and I’m loving the visual approach to productivity—it’s a game-changer! While exploring, I noticed a quick issue that might need your attention. In the Tasks list, when I assign a task to a board, I receive a notification saying, 'Task assigned,' but the task doesn’t actually get assigned to the board. Upon refreshing the page, the task still appears unassigned. The same behavior is happening when setting deadlines for tasks. I was testing this on the following URL: https://app.layer.cafe/4e29ea03-.... If this could be resolved quickly, it would be fantastic! 😊 Let me know if you need any additional details from my end. Thanks, and looking forward to seeing Layer get even better! 🚀

@biswarupadhikari 1️⃣ Thank you for your trust and patience! After the launch of the product hunt, we were literarily speaking drowned. First of all, our AI servers died from overloading and we still can't get them back up 😭 2️⃣ On your question we will soon be preparing a large update of the screen of all tasks. According to user reviews it is not convenient. The design is beautiful, but usability suffers 3️⃣ On the main page of the project we have a Tech Support Muse - write her your wishes or your contacts - they will be passed to me personally! 🎁 🎁 🎁 In the coming hours we will open the ➡️ PRO version for free for all users and will seriously focus on improving usability features based on the feedback received! 🏆 All will be done. I promise that in the next 7 years it will be the best visual system for managing tasks and goals. Thank you for your trust ❤️

@ikalimullin Thank you for your support! The launch and feedback from new users made it clear that we still have a lot to improve. Our team is currently discussing the next steps, and we might even consider pausing the paid subscription temporarily to focus on refining the product. Excited to keep pushing forward! Tell me your opinion about our paid subscription, is it understandable and does it have value in your opinion?

Congratulations on the successful launch! The interface is highly responsive and swift, and the interaction design and breakdown approach are very innovative. However, there’s a bug with the Chinese input method, making it impossible to type in Chinese.

@gofurther Hello! Thanks for your feedback! We'll try to solve this with the tech team in a couple of days! There really is some kind of problem with Chinese! Thank you for writing to our tech support. The question is under control. In what way do you think the concept of our project would be useful for you as a founder? (if I read the role from your profile correctly)

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.
