I assumed by the name “Burnout” that this would be satire, but it looks to be an interesting “OS for product teams”. Question: how do you plan to compete against the top-tier products the focus on solving each of your features (CRM, customer interviews, task management, etc.)?

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.

Rather than technical details, I'm more curious about in what ways each application is better than what is currently on the market.

At the bottom of the page, it is mentioned that Burnout replaces Asana, Trello, Jira, Google Docs and more. In what ways is Burnout better than Jira? What does Burnout offer more than Google Docs? Asana and Trello tackle task management differently in its own way, and how does Burnout differ from both of these?

Also, if you add an e-mail feature, this would be the perfect example of Zawinski's Law (“Every program attempts to expand until it can read mail...”).

To be honest, I am still wondering if this is a satire page because of such overstuffing of features and there is a lack of details about the product.

This is extremely useful! If the product is solid, this would easily replace 4 subscriptions that we already have. Good luck with the release. How do you plan to price this?

Pricing plan (so far) is this:

- Free - up to 5 people (to help startup in the initial phase for free)

- Starter - $7/user/month

- Advanced - $17/user/month (automation rules, visual reports)

- Pro - $29/user/month (granular permissions, etc)

Is having 2 emojis every sentence really the world we live in? Or is this satire -- is the product even gonna be real?

We are going to launch in the next 3-5 months. So yes, it is real.

In that case, please consider not using emoji's so heavily.

I'm not 100% your target audience so my opinion should probably not hold a lot of value to you but they feel obnoxious and interrupt the flow of sentences instead of adding to them.

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.

How would you know if enough of these emails will become actual customers?

This 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!

This is absolutely satire and the comments here and wonderful.

Nice work! When you say it integrates Content Production as well, do you mean it can replace a service like forestry.io?

It is more like GraphCMS [1] replacement. Basically you create required content structure (maybe Categories-Posts for blog or Articles for Help), write content inside our tool and publish via static generator somewhere (like GitHub/GitLab Pages).

Thanks, we wanted to create something "on the edge". But it seems quite many people take it as a satire. In the next version we will cool down a little bit.

If 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.

"Be the first to experience Burnout before everyone joins in." -- Brilliant! I hope it indeed turns out to be satire...
