You have an amazing tagline. This is the first time I read a tagline and thought: this is exactly what I was looking for.
But the product seems much more narrow than an actual tool run the whole business in markdown. I was hoping to see Logseq on steroids, and it feels like a tool builder primarily. I love the tool building aspect, but the fundamentals of simply organizing docs (docs, presentations, assets etc, the basics of a business) are either not part of the core offering or not presented well at all.
I love the idea of building custom tools on top of MD and it's part of my wishlist, but I feel little deceived by your tagline so I wanted to share that :)
This is great feedback, thank you. I will say that IS our goal... but we only really launched last week and are still figuring out what resonates with people and what they really want! It sounds like you're saying that the organization aspects are not there, which is very helpful to know... I am not quite sure I understand if you also think the toolbuilding is lacking?
If you are open to it, I'd love the opportunity to hear more. Here or email (alex@moment.dev) or our Discord (bottom right of our website) or Twitter/X... or whatever you prefer.
No, the tool building looks very sophisticated and powerful and I love that it hinges very much on the new era of building your own custom tools with the help of agents. The live collaboration on top of md files is also exactly what I was looking for!
If you're saying that Logseq on steroids is what you're aiming for, then, my immediate feedback would be to emphasize more: - the writing experience: at the end of the day, writing and taking notes will be the most common activity - the file organisation: tags, templates, media files, does it do the basics? - the sharing and access mechanism: can I easy share a doc with a partner / client?
Those are the basics of daily business tasks for my consultancy, and so the first thing I'm looking for. I really wish to get off Google drive, but those points need to be solved for that to sound feasible.
As for the tool building it looks very powerful, but the first example you presented (on-call dashboard), was a bit too much from the get go to wrap my head around the building blocks of your system. I've been building custom tools/wrappers of varied complexity on top of markdown for my team, from a custom revealJS skill that follows our design guide, to a form builder to a project/client DB that wraps duckdb (for yaml frontmatter parsing) with a semantic layer. I've watched your intro video but I'm still not sure whether your service would help me more closely integrate those tools to my company's knowledge base or not.
But once again, if your vision matches your tagline, then I'm really looking forward to hear more from you
