I like the idea a lot. However, putting my company data - contacts info included - in some cloud makes me uncomfortable, so please comment or add somewhere information about how you (plan to) solve things like security and privacy.

#22A side comment: I think you don't stand a chance to have a substantial customer base in Scandinavia. Their decision making process is by iterative consensus. You hold the meetings on the topic until there is a collective agreement for unanimous decision. If there is not, you hold another meeting in a few days.
Or you enjoy meeting each other too much.

Hi soco, great point! We think about encryption a lot as on-prem doesn‘t make too much sense. Would that work for you?

#25I built something similar. It didn’t really work as a business (or at least I wasn’t able to make it work) so I open sourced it: https://github.com/async-go/asyncgo If there’s anything useful there feel free to scavenge, or if you’d like to talk about what I learned trying to build it let me know.
Hi synu! Thanks for your comment! Very interesting! Would be great to have a chat! Best wishes, Linus

#27We’ve found decision logs and our structured “RFC” process quite useful at Notion. The extra structure from a dedicated SaaS for this could be helpful. But to me the Pro/Con voting system seems like it’ll work only for Go/NoGo binary choices. What about selecting the best option from a suite of candidates?

Are you worried that you're trying to solve a process/people/culture problem with a technology solution?
Hi elefantastisch, could not be worried more. But we want to solve it for us and hopefully some others :)
