This has got to be a joke. It's not April 1, but it feels like it.
Burnout – All-in-one workspace for startups

#52This 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.
Hmm, there is something going on here. The user “tablet” appears to be behind burnout.so in this thread but claims to work on fibery.io in a much older comment. Is this some kind marketing (for fibery) by satire?

There's also a tactic to launch the same product with multiple names / marketing / pricing. It's basically multivariate testing the whole business. I don't know if anyone has done it actually.

Hmm, indeed...

#56This 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.
Not. Here is the real screenshot https://d.pr/i/4yEClL

#57If 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.
It is brilliant satire. See the apt use of Pied Piper, but more clearly the "But seriously, please take care" footnote. Unless of course it satirizes product satire, in which case it actually turns out to be a product.
If you think satire layers cancel out, you clearly haven't spent enough time on the internet.

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.
You are taking this chart too seriously. Burndown, burnup, burnout...
I'm not sure if I'm not responding seriously to satire, but are you aware of what "burnout" means?
From https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/burnout :
"Definition of burnout
1 : the cessation of operation usually of a jet or rocket engine also : the point at which burnout occurs
2a : exhaustion of physical or emotional strength or motivation usually as a result of prolonged stress or frustration
b : a person suffering from burnout
3 : a person showing the effects of drug abuse"
I mean, by the looks of the landing page, I guess (3) could fit somewhat?

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 di…
>I'm more curious about in what ways each application is better than what is currently on the market.
I think if you take best apps on the market Burnout will not be better. The power is in unification. How many features of Salesforce you use? Usually just 10-20%. How many features of Asana you use? Maybe 30-50%. And these applications have so much in common (Database + common UI + some integrations). You can generalize on that and still add specific depth for every app via extensions and power-ups.
Unification saves time and money. If you can run all these processes in a single workspace, you will always know where to find stuff, how to connect work with customers, don't have to learn new UI tricks with every new app and have clear picture of the whole business. I know it sounds too ambitious, but that is our goal.
Apps can be installed and uninstalled. If you don't need CRM, you will not have. Burnout can be simple or complex based on your needs.
