I think calling it a "notebook" is a misnomer and takes away from the collaborative and organizational aspects. Notebooks are physical, personal, and the word doesn't symbolize organization or value in my mind (as a once student who has many notebooks scattered about that I never use.) Something like "agendas" would be more enticing, but I personally would use the headline as an informative statement to what your service does best like "Collect our thoughts" or "Collect and Collaborate."

  Hi, Thank you very much for the feedback. We really wanted to differentiate from messengers. Should definitely think more about that.

My raw reaction (emphasis on raw): looks like Quiver is it for code? "collaborative notebooks" ok so it's for writing "get started today" and do what? ok it works great on mobile and some other devices eyes to image you can talk, cool and you can link stuff and add files so it's not a notebook but a chat? eyes to "block-lower" I can create notebooks... what the hell are notebooks? store stuff stay up to date... okay? it tells me the current time? it's a clock eyes to footer nice, it's made with love... I think... click on heart... uh, ok, I guess it's love. Perhaps.

Like etherpad, but social?

  I never used etherpad before. From what I just learned Staply is more focused on sharing content and less on the text editing.

My thoughts... This seems to be basically just a chat server (with message attachments). The notebook style UI is cute but doesn't seem to mean anything. Is there anything here I couldn't do on Skype? What platforms does this support? There's a picture of a laptop, a tablet, and a phone. They all look vaguely like Apple products, so maybe this is Mac/iOS only, or maybe that's just the icons you happened to have on hand. If it is Apple only, that kind of platform limitation will be a big (almost certainly fatal) handicap to collaboration software. If it isn't, you need to make that clearer. A hamburger menu (traditionally used to mean "everything else") on the left, and an ellipsis menu (also traditionally used to mean "everything else") on the right? Oh dear.
