This 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.

No, this is not the case. We are working on the product for 3 years already and will release it in the next couple of months.

Seems 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 vacations and plan burnouts." doesn't give me that much confidence. For a product that is suppose to help the softskills side of a startup, it sure has it blindspots looking at the name. Could definitely be satire, even using quotes and names from the satire show "silicon valley"

Goodluck! Hope you focus on keeping it simple, the products you want to replace already want to do too much. Don't fall into the same trap!

I 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.

Taking a closer look at this it appears that the word “burnout” is being used incorrectly:

“Estimate stories and plan iterations or go with the flow. Analyze burnout chart or obsess about cycle time.”

These sorts of charts are called “burndown” charts in my experience, not “burnout” charts.
