Ask HN: how do you organize your startup research?
Interesting people, competitors, OSS projects, commercial libraries, third-party services, design and marketing ideas, notes on investors, potential future use cases -- what do you use to organize it all?
- yid 12y agoI'll start the conversation. The best tool I've found is an open-source tool called Laverna: http://laverna.cc http://laverna.cc Self-hosting possible, Dropbox sync, tags+tasks+search, Markdown support, clean UI.
- kinj28 12y agoTry http://teamgum.com http://teamgum.com it allows your entire team to participate and organize.
- soneca 12y agoI am not all that diligent, but I just use Instapaper. Save all the relevant links (the link itself will say to me if it is a competitor that I must keep an eye, an interesting prospect, a tip on sales, copywriting advice, a SaaS i will want to use in the future). At the most I separate into two generic folders: code and business.

- beat 12y agoPaper is my first layer of organization. Just about everything that crosses my mind winds up in Moleskine notebooks (large size, unlined). From there, it may land in the cloud somewhere.
- dueprocess 12y agoGive AP4 Project Manager a try: https://www.ap4projectmanagers.com https://www.ap4projectmanagers.com And then of course there is Basecamp.
- MortenK 12y agoI use CHM format, sometimes exported to HTML if need be. I use www.helpndoc.com for the purpose.
