I was initially skeptical of "yet another note app" but I really like the direction you've gone. A lot of creative projects really benefit from well-structured thought, and this is difficult to achieve when you want visuals, text and data together. As a business person, I've often resorted to tools like Powerpoint to accomplish this goal.

My challenge with Flipboard was keeping my sources well-curated and efficiently catching up with news in my industry. I know the rest of the world has moved on, but I still find RSS readers (currently Feedly) to be the best at this. But this update intrigues me, as I've found a number of sources where I choose to be more indulgent and this might work well with them.

I've been looking for better solutions to this problem, I'm going to have to give Everhour a closer look!

I can't wait to see what kinds of emergent use cases come about with this feature. I'm also very interested to see how well it will compete against established messaging groups - I personally have groups spanning Google Hangouts, Facebook Messenger, Slack, etc. that have proven resilient.

As long-term Excel user who has figured out a lot of the nuances through painful trial, error, and research... it's a great idea. However, most of my thorniest issues have come about doing complex analysis with proprietary data. Do you imagine business users submitting spreadsheets, and if so how do you ensure proprietary data remains secure?

Very interesting product that I, like many others, thought was a new version of coach.me. Going to have to spend some time checking this out, as I can definitely see the need and value of a platform that allows creators to focus on what they're good at while benefiting from cutting-edge engagement features.

Very compelling vision and an interesting extension of Amazon's real-world strategy. As a customer, I'd give it a shot if it were convenient (location is key) but I'd be unlikely to go out of my way to shop there unless the prices and/or selection are clearly better. In terms of the business, this is category where Amazon has the right scale, brand, and financial strength to expand into... but...

I love this product extension, as succinct, broad news coverage hasn't been aggregated in very effective ways. I tend to rely on a combination of tech news sites, the Economist's Espresso app, and some newsletters (e.g., Product Hunt) but I'm always on the lookout for ways to trim it down. I'm going to give the Nightcap a trial run for sure.
