If this is not satire I can only applaud the balls of the marketing. I am certainly not going to forget the name (reminds me of that airplane company "Boom"). On the downside all the HN comments will be about the name.
I see some other comments have also mentioned the name, “Burnout”. I don’t typically find myself bothered by product names, even ones that may be disliked. However, the name “Burnout” just seems really distasteful to me. I don’t know what it is about this particular name.<p>I’m also not sure whether my distaste is bad or good. It’s off-putting, sure, but I will certainly remember the product now.
This feels like a landing page without a product.<p>I remember somebody telling (here?) they didn't fumble around with MVPs anymore : just put up a landing page & harvest email-addresses.<p>Only then decide wether to actually build anything.
How is your product different or competing against
<a href="https://monday.com/" rel="nofollow">https://monday.com/</a>?<p>It seems there's a lot of products that are tying to bring all these tools into one application but what benefits does this bring? Has there been any research that this helps productivity and not produce negatives? Slack, Teams, Google Docs etc.. all of these have tons of functionality which are million dollar plus programs why squish all this into something smaller with half the features?
I assumed by the name “Burnout” that this would be satire, but it looks to be an interesting “OS for product teams”. Question: how do you plan to compete against the top-tier products the focus on solving each of your features (CRM, customer interviews, task management, etc.)?
This had me chuckling<p>"Vacations<p>Track vacations and plan burnouts"<p>If only it was that easy<p>I see people taking it seriously in here and I'm laughing - I hope I'm not in the wrong!
This is extremely useful! If the product is solid, this would easily replace 4 subscriptions that we already have. Good luck with the release. How do you plan to price this?
Seems like a product that wants to do to much. I'm definitely not running a startup. So my opinion is of little value. But I do think using the flexibility of Clojure is an advantage you definitely can use it this space.<p>Reminds me products like Hubspot. It took a while before I even could grasp what they were offering. Perhaps they want to challenge something like airtable?<p>using unique selling points like "Track vacations and plan burnouts." doesn't give me that much confidence. For a product that is suppose to help the softskills side of a startup, it sure has it blindspots looking at the name. Could definitely be satire, even using quotes and names from the satire show "silicon valley"<p>Goodluck! Hope you focus on keeping it simple, the products you want to replace already want to do too much. Don't fall into the same trap!
The one thing I really need from one of these task management platforms but that I can’t find is a way to manage, share, and track the reading of academic papers and white papers on the site and on iPad (IMO iPad in the morning is the best way to consume papers.)<p>That means being able to store and manage PDF files and snapshots of websites and add them to a reading list with tags for different users. And then in the reader interface to be able to take and share notes.<p>Any suggestions would be appreciated. We tried Trello and Zotero but they sucked.
