Hey Product Hunt—Milanote co-founder here!
Milanote was created to replicate the feeling of working on a wall in a creative studio—visual, tactile and sometimes a bit messy (in a good way!). If you've ever found Evernote/Trello/Notion a bit linear or restrictive, then this might be the tool for you!
Three years to the day after our first launch on PH we've released our biggest ever update to the product, including:
- A fresh new look for the UI
- Dark mode (!)
- Lots of awesome new templates (we now have over 100!)
- Simple built-in image editing tools
- Coloured backgrounds for boards
- Performance improvements so that editing your boards is faster than ever
Not to mention my personal favourite: fancy 3D effects when you drag things around! Drove the developers nuts with this one 😅
Anyway, hope you like it and let me know if you have any feedback! 😊
Hi @oliebol!
I have been using Milanote for a year now and it's a pretty awesome tool for getting done and visualize.
Recommended it to all my colleagues and peers, and the features are pretty dope and UI is amazing!
Congratulations on creating a great product.
Looking forward to using Milanote 2.0.
Kudos Team Milanote!
@oliebol THE MILANOTE CHROME EXTENSION IS TOP 5 FAVORITE OF MINE. The little to clip and save images with the link works perfectly for any bookmarking needs! I thought I was the only one..Premium paid user for 3 years and don't plan on canceling anytime soon! Cant wait to see what Milanote 2 is all about 😊
@oliebol Love it - feels more fresh than before :) well done. One thing I noticed on Safari is that I can't always copy the link from the secret link window.
Love this app, been using it now for almost a year and has been great for throwing everything ins one place and organising it. Looking forward to using it with a team going forward.
Love Milanote. Personally it feels like the lowest latency brain-to-page tool that I've used – infinite canvas, paste anywhere to turn links or text into a card, colour coding & joining cards with arrows are particularly useful.
I've been using it to organise some design inspiration, and roughly plan & organise notes and links for my final year project at university.
I started using Milanote in 2018 as a moodboarding app. The additional meta-collection when web-clipping and the smart embedding for things like Instagram quickly moved me on to casting lists and shoot plans for my photography side-gig.
I always liked the massive flexibility in positioning and scaling compared to other tools I've used (while still having the dot grid available!) and now there are additional cosmetic options for your boards. Also, with the ability to drop boards into columns, Milanote has really crossed the threshold into being not just a creative tool, but an organisational tool. In case you can't tell, I love this app.
The new templates are great. On the photography side, they're a perfect demonstration of exactly how I've been telling other photographers Milanote can be used, so it's nice to see that newbies can now get a nudge in the relevant direction.
Not really a con, but the mobile app isn't really something I'd use. Still crossing my fingers for a fully-featured iPad version.
@oliebol Does anyone on the team use Eagle (https://eagle.cool/)? For a while, I was using Milanote to collect images, but now I use Eagle for acquistion and high-level organisation and use Milanote more for arranging and output/sharing. They're a killer combo.
Hi @oliebol - I‘m a happy paid customer since V1.
Congrats on the launch! Will check it out immediately. One question: did you also add an offline mode?
@jakethecake thanks for the support! No offline mode yet (it's pretty tricky for various technical reasons) but definitely still on our list for the future!
Superb product, been using v.1 it to collect moodboards, gather inspiration and sorting copy for websites, absolutely genius UX, really digging the new UI aswell. Great work!
Milanote is the perfect tool to visually and collaboratively plan every aspect of our clothing brand. It's functions and layout are super intuitive to me as a designer, with a lot of functions feeling similar to Ai/Ps. The new updates look epic and I can't wait to start playing with them - I already can't stop dragging my elements around just to appreciate the 3D effect!
Been using for 4 months now, Please make the layout on the iPhone more like the desktop version in terms of landscape layout. Also, an iPad app would help.
When we use the templates and select them, it would be nice for all the information, pictures, links, etc of that template to remain until we chose to replace them.
These are all long term changes I would like to see, I plan to be using this for 10+ years.
Hi @cameron_wallace, an iPad app is on our list and thanks for the iPhone feedback! We've just added an option to retain the example content in templates. Try it out :)
Absolutly love milanote .If you're a student and have to manage differents projects / courses / personal stuff it's perfect.
For those who use Trello, you can practicaly do same things with milanotes, but it's going a lot further
Looking forward to see Milanote 2.0
Really cool and productive platform - I love the UX/ UI ( Truly, it makes me feel like I'm working on the wall) For me, it's so important to have an overview of everything without having to jump in multiple folders. Great!🎉
