This reminds me a lot of Apple's OpenDoc but reincarnated as a web-based SaSS product. Key value is openness; I'm not sure how well that can be achieved in a tighly closed ecosystem, but I wish them all the best!

#62I'm always interested in board-based projects as I am developing my own[1] (although it's targeting a different use-case). Just a small note: The help page looks broken on mobile, the menu overlaps the content (Android, Firefox)

I work at one of the large tech companies listed on the site. I've literally never heard of this project until I found it on HN today. It's funny to me, because just yesterday I was a having a conversation with a colleague who asked me if we had a "corporate account" with another commons SaaS PM tool that he has been using with his team. I think he was in shock when I listed all of the project management and collabor…
I was just about to start an ask hn on this topic. I’m surprised big tech or anyone allows the use of logo and names in this manner but obviously it’s very common to do this. It seems highly unethical to use the name of a company and imply endorsement of that company when all that’s happened is someone from that domain has registered. As many of you have, I have been through the formal PR battles with big tech to do…
Very much this! I have a small business and my product has a lot of "big name" users, but consistently it's pretty much impossible to get sign-off to use their name or logo.
I don't know what the legality of just putting them up there whether they want to or not is, but obviously the social proof of doing so is huge.
How do people navigate this?

Excellent questions indeed. I started an Ask HN in case anyone wants to comment there.

I can guess with almost certainty that this product does not have permission to use our logo. If they had permission, our brand team would have probably made sure they were using the correct one, instead of a version that was sunset almost a year ago.

#66The home page style and screenshots look extremely similar to previous versions of RealtimeBoard/Miro. To the point that I thought it was a product from the same company. Make sure to communicate the differentiator, perhaps change the visual style of the home page. In the current state it looks like a clone.
Yeah, same here. We are trialing Miro and like it so far for sprint retrospectives, but part of trialing is trying potential alternatives. I wouldn't mind adding this into the mix for our team's consideration, but I can't bring it to my boss without quickly being able to point out clear differentiators -- and I don't have the time to just play around with it myself until I find them.

#67Alternative to pinup.com I think.
Re: Show HN: Ryeboard – Visual Workspace
#68I would strongly suggest spending the extra $10 or so and getting wryboard.com before someone else does... and getting @wryboard twitter handle. Looking at your twitter, I see this is based in Seoul. No doubt English is known thing, but 'wry' and 'rye' are sound-alike words, and the moment I read 'ryeboard' I also heard 'wryboard'.
and... now it's gone... :/
Re: Show HN: Ryeboard – Visual Workspace
#69I've worked for a company that released a product exactly like this. They went bankrupt 6 months later.
I hope you'll have more success, but at this moment I cannot see anything in there that makes it better than the product that the company I worked for was working on..

Agreed: I was hoping for a succinct description of the product, but only found empty marketting words. I am not yet interested in who uses the product, but in what the product is. Don't try to tell me it will change my life before I actually know what it is. Granted, I only skimmed the page, and the website made the experience painful, as it is full of fade—in animations, so I felt like I was scrolling an empty wwbsi…
I read the page top to bottom. I don't know what it is. Is it an online OneNote? I don't know what the things you build with it are for.
Yeah, and there already is of course the on-line onenote from MS...
