It seems hard to believe they have so much traction and aren't an HN-household name...
I would suggest that, perhaps, "HN household names" and "things lots of people actually use" are not particularly strongly correlated.
- smt88 10y agoI strongly disagree when there are "millions" of users, and the product in question is a web-software startup. The early adopters of these products are very likely to be small, tech-savvy businesses, which is definitely one of the core HN audiences. Not to mention a lot of us just follow software startup news in general...
- abrookewood 10y agoYep, I agree with you. Very surprised I haven't heard of this company in the slightest considering someone just bought them for $750m.
- ubernostrum 10y agoIt's a collaborative notes and documentation suite. Lots of people use it -- including the company I work for -- but it's not "disruptive", isn't surrounded by legal controversy that I'm aware of, and mostly just delivers value for money. Which makes it the opposite of what gets talked about on HN.
