Thanks for the kind words and the 'calmify' word play idea. Hope you enjoy using the app!

I do want to implement this, thank you! It would be cool to give users options for how they want their tabs grouped.

Appreciate the encouragement!

I agree, it can definitely be useful. I will push something out around this soon!

I do like "Rework" a lot! I'm curious if it might imply the concept of "redoing work."

by daniel_sushil 3y ago
True. That's good feedback. I was only going off of my experience as a developer and what I heard from other developers when I originally pitched this product to them. However, I do agree that developers could also benefit from it.

Appreciate your perspective. The idea that they do the exact same thing might be up for discussion. Trust me, if I were happy with what my OS provided, I definitely wouldn't have gone down this path to build this app. I feel that ope

I appreciate the detailed feedback. I've received quite a lot of input on pricing from Floutwork users. I do feel it is a bit hard to nail the best pricing model that works for everyone. I understand the hesitation around subscription-

Just realized I didn't get to the last one Pricing might need to be broken out more eg. $5 seems too cheap. - Could you clarify this one as well? When you say the pricing needs to be 'broken out more,' do you mean offering

I was thinking the same thing about Slack. But yeah, I wonder if the name had a positive or negative impact on the overall outcome.

Yes, Floutwork is primarily designed to streamline the use of web-based apps. Unfortunately, integrating local apps isn't in the current plans, as that would be a significant technical challenge. Floutwork does have a built-in email ap

Haha, true. Floutwork is just my humble attempt to give Emacs a run for its money ;)

This is great to know. I'll try to address it sooner rather than later. Thanks!

Oh yes, the web is an easier route and has fewer barriers to adoption. I do struggle with adoption a bit since this is a desktop app, and many larger companies have strict policies about it. I would have definitely gone the web route if the

Valid question. What sets Floutwork apart are the features that complement the web app workspace, such as task management, notes, calendar and email integration, a command bar, ChatGPT, productivity metrics, and a dedicated focus mode with

Happy to answer! native or wrapper eg. Electron/Tauri - Electron what is your opinion of app adoption vs. web app - Could you clarify? Are you asking about Floutwork app adoption versus Floutwork as a web app, or are you referring

I chose the name Floutwork to signify flouting the norms of how work is usually done, aiming to break away from the norm to create a more streamlined and effective work environment. "Flout" is also short, like "Slack," s

The intent behind the name is to challenge traditional notions of how we work. In this sense, "flout" represents breaking away from the usual way of working to create a more effective and streamlined environment. It's also sh

Unfortunately, there is no Linux support at the moment. Since the app uses Electron, adding Linux support down the road might be easier. I just haven't gotten around to it yet. Just curious - do you see yourself using an app like this?

by daniel_sushil 3y ago
Yes, there is a server component. Your tasks, notes, and other settings are stored on the server, so when you switch computers, you don't lose any data. I am planning to add a private option with optional server sync down the road for

This is actually great for me to know, and thank you for saying something about it. I have also been hearing from users of the product that a "show all tabs" functionality would be valuable in case they lose track of where they ar

Some side benefits that come with the app: Since even the most popular desktop apps have a web version, like Slack, Teams, Outlook, etc., you can completely move away from all your desktop apps and your browser and get work done all in one

Love it. Vue support would be great!

I really like the concept. If you can secure some early adopters and showcase their stories on your landing page—particularly how they've improved their own products and retention through using yours—it would be highly beneficial.

Your comment holds value and could have been presented constructively. Developers invest substantial time and effort into their products and genuinely appreciate insightful feedback. Rude comments neither foster improvement nor encourage me

Simplifying compliance is definitely appealing to me. Just some feedback - I appreciate that you have a video on your website, but without audio or captions, it's hard to follow what's going on.

I like the concept. Where can I find the API docs?
