I'd definitely fall into that box. But that website helped me understand why, other than being a lazy bum, I keep use google things. It's because:
1. Google has great products and they are "free". Airtable a drop-in for G-sheets? Count me out.
2. This is the sneaky part - zero onboarding friction. Want to try notion? Need to "sign up" or watch stupid video. Try google docs? COMMAND+L + doc.new
- grey_earthling 6y agohttps://doc.new https://doc.new leads to a sign up page for me. Maybe Gmail was a trojan horse for Google accounts.
- RonanTheGrey 6y agoGmail is the linchpin in their whole ecosystem. Break that, and it suddenly gets a lot easier to use various products without being stuck on Google. 100% the Trojan horse. I don't know that it started out that way... but it certainly is now.
- mikestew 6y agoGo try that last one in a private tab and get back to me on how frictionless it is. (Spoiler: thé “trick” only works if you already have a Google account that is signed in.)
