#2This is definitely speaking to me — I like being able to switch between tools, depending on the project, but dislike the silos most tools (trello, google sheets / airtable, canvas / google docs / text) create around structured data.

can you elaborate on the idea of "tool silos" ? not sure what you mean

#4Looks neat! I really like being able to switch between lists, Kanban, spreadsheet, and calendar views. Design looks very clean and intuitive.

Thanks very much!
This is Martin from Zenkit. I will try to answer all of your questions.
BTW, we are on Producthunt today and we have some other interesting comments there..

They mean you can't see todo list items on your calendar, or calendar items on your kanban, because the data ends up "siloed"

they probably mean the data is less portable across multiple tools. So, you're putting data in multiple places, and creating individual relationships based on the view.
And, putting data in multiple places means extra time and money managing it. Generally.

#9Wow, great! And here I've found this exactly ~1 day after wasting time trying to implement something similar for my study planning purposes. :) [Shameless plug: https://jkozera.github.io/oudashboard/ - you can load the calendar from https://jkozera.github.io/oudashboard/sample.ics instead of fetching one from the OU, no sign up is required]
Given the above, I would love to integrate these calendars with some Zenkit API instead. I see a 'Generate new API key' option in settings, but cannot find any API docs anywhere. Is API access going to be free? Please at least allow it for students. :)

#10This is so close to what I was looking for!
Feature Request: Sub-tasks The first interface I use to create tasks is always an outliner, that way I can quickly breakdown everything that needs to be done and add details about their implementation. This is close to mindmaps as shown in your demo, but a text based outliner is faster to type, edit, rearrange in. Having Subtasks would allow an approximation of this.
Also, please start charging for it.
