We make a better more collaborative app that centers on really simple notes as the core thing. You can jot some Knotes but you can also share them natively like slack and put lots of content from other services into them. Knotable.com

Feedback welcome. Still beta

But the Chrome extension is 1.0 and doing really well!

This is pretty fun and interesting. there is something great about the up/down mechanic on many leading sites. I wonder if there is a way to distill down just that mechanic -- Qu is close!

Fair enough. Can't really sync without some kind of log in. But I guess you want to just use it in offline mode...?

That's exactly the case yes, if only to test the application for a bit. Then once I establish that it's something which fits in my workflow and that I would benefit from creating an account (for all the sync goodness), create an account.

We've been tinkering with a big powerful shared notepad platform for a while. This is our first piece that's really ready and nice.

Simple, stylish new tab screen that lets you type notes from the place where your ADD strikes worst: in the browser

Hey! Very true. Give a shout and say hello over at Knotable.com or to me a at knote dot com

Worth a re-look for every startup founder

The shortest possible version is: launch is important

I'm going to nitpick that article. Not all of the coverage of Trello at Disrupt came from writing reporters ahead of time. I know because I wrote one that mentioned Trello: http://www.wired.com/2011/09/startups-techcrunch-disrupt/ and Joel did not pre-brief me or Mike.

I guess it matters equally though that the "four that seemed to register as important to him" were all hand-crafted

Drugs 'train your brain' and we have many techniques for training our brains now that seem to actually work -- now under names like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and meditation and brain games. This stuff used to go under names like hypnosis or mindreading.

It's amazingly underused and it's great to see modernizing approaches to the "command line" to the brain.

That's a bummer. These guys are among the really innovative and thoughtful folks working on making email stuff work better.

I guess it takes skills @dannyrohit

I have tried to replace the set on an ipod touch in the past. Didn't succeed. Screwed up taking the face/body assembly apart.

Agree about caution

Not sure those folks are quacks

But this is indeed a very promising field with powerful technology
