Hi all! We're building Nuclino, a unified workspace for teams. Here's why you should check it out: * You can replace several collaboration tools with Nuclino as it combines the best ideas from many! (e.g. the board from Trello, real-time editing from Google Docs, internal links from wikis) * Real-time collaborative editor with markdown commands * Visualize your data with different views such as lists, boards, and gra…

I'm likely in the minority and mean nothing negative, but for our team $9/m per user is a bit spendy. We'd love to pay (and need private workspaces), but while this product does have a lot of features it does not replace any of our existing tools entirely. Eg, we could replace our use of Github Issues with it, but we aren't saving money by dropping Github Issues - we're only spending more - $9 per team member.

So I love the product, but since it's yet another additional tool in our pipeline, it doesn't replace anything outright. Possible solutions for us:

1. A small plan which just includes the free tier features, plus private workspaces at a lower price. Not sure what price seems fair, but $4-$5 seems reasonable. $3 would be a no brainer price. 2. A tier priced according to total members. Eg, $30/m for 5 members, or something. Though, seeing as we'd need ~20, it would still rack up in price I imagine.. perhaps this is no different than just reducing the price. /shrug

So yea, not trying to say those prices make sense or are needed, just trying to provide constructive feedback on why we are not choosing to use it, despite liking it. $2,000 -> $3,000 a year is just a bit steep for what we "almost" have right now, in our existing tools.

Keep up the good work!

Sorry for the existential question - but how do you guys not get disenchanted in this space by the idea that if you actually manage to meaningfully differentiate that you're surrounded by nimble giants that can easily mimic your success and crush you?

We believe in what we do and so far we've not been able to find another product with the same focus that builds upon the same principles and ideas. Wanting Nuclino to exist and our passion to create it, is what drives us most. As for competition from established players, I wholeheartedly agree with the comment from davidjgraph. Every new startup faces this challenge, but history shows that it can be difficult for lar…

Anything more concrete?

Thanks a lot for the constructive feedback! We just released the pricing several weeks ago and are open to experimentation. Would you be up for a quick chat about this? If yes, just send me an email (it's in my profile).

@bjoernm Nuclino is beautiful, reminds me of this (at the end): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u4AXaFlIFQA I love how you've enabled users to take down ideas in a very quick way without forcing them to make decisions about what "category" or purpose the information has at that moment and then they can freeform build on that information to take it from something amorphous to something with utility. This compliments t…

That's exactly the idea :) We don't want to impose structure before it actually becomes useful. That's also why the most basic elements are called "items", as their purpose can evolve into ideas, tasks, requirements, etc.

Awesome! I reference this quote too much but I love it and I think it applies here: "Design dissolving into behavior." - Naoto Fukasawa

Consider hosting all web resources and dependencies on your own domain(s). I don't need google, cloudfront etc etc to know i'm using a certain web application. Certainly not if i was paying for it.

Thanks for the feedback! This is the first time that we hear about this concern, but we will look into it. Serving these kinds of resources (fonts, icons) ourselves has a disadvantage in terms of caching, so we'll have to decide if it's worth the trade-off.

I'm surprised to hear a webapp dev say it is the first time he hears about leaking traffic to third parties. Kind of worrying.

It's not that I haven't heard about leaking traffic to third parties before. What I meant is that so far none of our users have complained about this being a concern for them.

Honest feedback here, the choice to use the fade in effect on every single element on the home page resulted in me leaking out of the funnel at the very top. I just couldn't stand reading it, it was frustrating to swipe up a screenful and have to pause to read. Please know I present this constructively. Best of luck.

Thanks for the comment! We did not receive this feedback before, but we'll test it with more users and check if it makes sense to adjust or remove the animations.
