#3This seems like a mash-up of Air Table and Quip. I'm curious to see how the functionality compares for day-to-day tasks.

#4Is a Linux desktop app planned? It's only available on windows / Mac OS.

#6We use it to keep track of all
Of our tasks and projects. Switched to it after getting annoyed with Asana and not wanting to use something like Jira. We love how freeform it is and allowed us to create a workflow that fit us.
There are some gripes I have with it, notifications are still hit or miss despite talking to support about it multiple times - they’ll be delayed or missed altogether if you’ve recently opened the iOS app or have the desktop app open on another computer. Search still needs some love. It should probably weigh recently opened pages higher. And I’d love it if the Mac app was native instead of electron based.
Their team is pretty responsive when messaging them so that’s a huge plus.

#7This isn't self-hosted? I'm interested in a self-hosted solution that uses local markdown files and directories to manage content.

I haven't used either one in some time, but I would reframe the question: what makes you think this is similar to Basecamp?
If you're familiar at all with Basecamp, 10 seconds on the page makes it clear how different it is. If you're not, I guess I don't understand why the question is asked.

This is one thing I've wanted. A local app that lets me store all my data with markdown syntax, syntax highlighting, in local files and directories, specifically for macOS although a cross platform app would be fine. One that doesn't require an account or the internet at all for it to work. I've wanted this kind of app for many years (and wouldn't be opposed to making it if no existing solution is all that great at it).

I'm wondering too, I mean the interface is obviously completely different but it solves the same problems. Why is whatever this interface is better since I already enjoy basecamp? Edit: Also highly enjoy basecamp's pricing.
