I really don&#x27;t understand what this is at all. The home page doesn&#x27;t really say and the examples listed in the guide are so different from each other that I can&#x27;t find the common thread.<p>The examples seem cool, but I would really like 1-2 &quot;killer app&quot; features that your app can do, rather than a list of minor time saving shortcuts.<p>(I usually hate reading comments like this because I feel the commenter is just being pedantic and didn&#x27;t take 5 seconds to read the page. In this case, I really have no clue.)

Taking it for a test drive after thinking &quot;nope.&quot; I predictable wanted a terminal.. my solution was grabbing a copy of wetty (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;krishnasrinivas&#x2F;wetty" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;krishnasrinivas&#x2F;wetty</a>), and adding a commander button to run wetty and browser set to the wetty url, and now I&#x27;ve got a terminal.<p>pop one off the yak stack..

I wish we&#x27;d stop using:<p>The $X for ... (a list of things but enumerated by an animation to type them out and delete them a character at a time)<p>The animation is so obtrusive that it makes it really hard to use the page and I see this on so many sites that it doesn&#x27;t even feel novel anymore.<p>EDIT: Ctrl-Shift-F is a terrible choice for hotkey, used for &quot;find but a bit different&quot; in lots of apps.

Exactly the app I was looking for, purchased within 15min of playing with it. When context switching between multiple projects, it&#x27;s amazing to be able to create a &quot;space&quot; for each one.

Hi Alex, I like the idea but you need a couple of minutes to figure it out maybe it would be awesome to start off with an demo dashboard that people can use and get used to the app and maybe a guide on how to change things (sort of like an on boarding in web apps). I am going to send you an email. Cheers and keep up the good work.

Didn&#x27;t think I would see Linux only desktop software! Can you comment on how big this market is? Obviously many people use Linux on desktop but I am curious what is your experience non getting these people to pay for desktop software.

I don&#x27;t get it. Your landing page doesn&#x27;t make it clear what it does or what value it would provide. I&#x27;m confused, and that might affect your conversations.

Took me a while to figure out what this was — seems to be a way to organize a lot of disparate pieces and shortcuts into a project dashboard?

Sounds pretty good actually. However, it took me for a while to realize what it really did.

Congratulations! Are there plans on integrating some time tracking solution? It could be integrated with the invoice generation, but even a simple timer with play&#x2F;pause button per project would be useful.

This is a very cool idea.

Did this formerly have a different name? I remember trying something like this out a while back.

The Home page says it&#x27;s an organiser. It looks like it&#x27;s a task switcher-type-thingy.

Does it only embed webapps? Can I put a desktop app, say MS Word, inside it?

which technologies stack did you use to build this?
