Hi all, My friend and I are working on a product called Duckbase, that helps you manage your knowledge. It appears as a note-taking app, but anything you add to it (notes, websites, reddit posts, tweets, etc) automatically gets organized. Then, as you are writing, it will resurface the most relevant snippets of that information. You also have the option to actively search for the information, either through a search bar or visually with a 2d map. The key differentiator to existing note-taking apps such as Roam and Obsidian is how this lowers the barrier to usage by automatically organizing information rather than requiring you to link it yourself. I would also add that we are focusing on curious and creative people that maybe haven't even heard of PKM (Person Knowledge Management) before, where we have much of our focus on creating an outstanding UX. If you are interested in more details (and pretty pictures), feel free to check out: https://www.duckbase.io/ https://www.duckbase.io/ Any feedback is greatly appreciated! :)

Is there anything more than a sign up form? As it is the only feedback I can have is that I am loathe to fill out my email on that kind of form because maybe six months from now I will get an email from you, maybe it will get through my spam filter, and maybe I will still care. I think making people wait to try a product is a way people kill their startups. Maybe 1 person in 50 who sees your sign up form is going to fill it out, you have someone on the hook who was a remarkable amount of ardor in that moment. (You can’t believe what a precious thing that is.) It is very likely that ardor will have faded by the time that they hear from you again. Maybe the best you can do now is make a YouTube video showing people working with the prototype. As it is this is note taking startup 74,912 out of 111,325.

  That is a valid point, I will look into creating a video of the prototype to show off the concept. My goal is to gather user insights and feedback before building too much product. Your feedback is much appreciated, thank you!
