Burnout – All-in-one workspace for startups

#42This feels like a landing page without a product. I remember somebody telling (here?) they didn't fumble around with MVPs anymore : just put up a landing page & harvest email-addresses. Only then decide wether to actually build anything.
I stumbled upon this while doing some research : https://fibery.io/
It has some interesting similarities.

#43This had me chuckling "Vacations Track vacations and plan burnouts" If only it was that easy I see people taking it seriously in here and I'm laughing - I hope I'm not in the wrong!
OP seems to be taking himself pretty seriously... I sure hope he's just playing along.
Re: Burnout – All-in-one workspace for startups
#44I 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. 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.
I personally thought it was a bit of satire and amazing ingenuity personally. Think about burnout as a fire escaping boundaries and growing out of control, but in a good way, and that being your startup powered by their platform. Suddenly it sounds pretty cool.

#45The 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.)
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.
Any suggestions would be appreciated. We tried Trello and Zotero but they sucked.

#46If 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.
This is the best case study for Poe's law that I've seen in a long time.
Re: Burnout – All-in-one workspace for startups
#47How is your product different or competing against https://monday.com/ ? 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 i…
I personally dislike Monday. I traced its evolution and Monday valuation is totally insane, since product is a set of quite weird tools. They have good automations, but poor views and not very good connectivity between entities.
Notion, Coda and Airtable are more promising. But they don't focus on real work management (so far?)
Burnout strength is that you can install and connect apps together, thus creating a single workspace. For example, you have an Account in CRM. You can connect Account to Features, Invoices, Issues, Pains or Conversations, etc. It means you have a wholly connected domain that you can visualize and work with using Views (Table, Board, Calendar, Canvas, Timeline, etc).
Every App is created on a single platform (thus it is fast to create) and customized via PowerUps (UI extensions).
If you take Notion as an example, you can do pretty many things inside Notion and it competes with many tools as well.

This is a very deep question. Under the hood we are creating a platform that allows to create Apps very fast and with all required specific cases. If you want more technical details, please ask. We use Clojure, PostgreSQL and Javascript.
Oh snap! this is not a joke.
Yeah... So I guess it's tragically comical rather than wryly amusing

In that case it should be called "flashover"
Re: Burnout – All-in-one workspace for startups
#50Seems 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. 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? using unique selling points like "Track va…

Hence, burnout?
