Co-Founder Adam here. We launched Baron Fig exactly 3 years ago looking to make the notebook we really wanted. So far I feel incredibly fortunate that both our customers and the Product Hunt community have supported us on our mission. Today we're releasing the Confidant notebook in two new sizes, Pocket and Plus. We love hearing feedback from our users and a common theme was the option of additional sizes in our hardcover notebook. After extensive prototyping and testing, we feel the sizes are just right. Hope everyone enjoys and especially those in the northeast enjoy their snow day!

@adamkornfield Hey all, jumping in here on Adam's comment. The Product Hunt community has been ridiculously supportive over the last three years, thank you for that. I regularly get emails from you guys saying that your products were build from the ground up starting in a Confidant, which is such a fantastic thing to hear. That's exactly what we were hoping for when we started Baron Fig. Thanks again for the support. You're all doing great things, major props to everyone.

Love every product that Baron Fig launches! Big fan of my confidant, and excited to get the pocket size into my notebook rotation soon!

@gregmschwartz Thanks Greg! Love seeing Stork out with new gray undershirts today. Almost matches our books perfectly!

@callmehurris Harris thanks man! Glad you're digging it

Would try if it had square-grid notebooks. I don't like dot-grids at all.

@jwhiteux I hear you on the square grid. We did as many paper types as we could with Blank, Dot Grid (our top seller), and Ruled. Who knows, maybe at some point in the future we'll have a square grid!

@mikeway3 Thanks Mike! We try our best to make nice things. Glad you enjoyed everything. What iOS apps do you make? I did our first major app Codex a few months back. Been busy with lots of updates

Congrats on the launch Baron fig team! Whats your favourite new feature (besides the size) about the new notebooks?
Joey Cofone
Maker
@bret_prins1 Bret, thank you! The new sizes are huge for us—something our users have been asking for since we launched. Besides that, the main feature of the Confidant line is that they all Open Flat. It's a simple feature, but in practice it's fantastic. We also put a lot of high quality pages in there. ;)

Been using confidant for work and studies. Totally changed my definition of "notebooks", not as the ones you grab from any bookstore :) Love it!

@truc_to Thanks so much Ginny! We worked really hard to make a better designed notebook. Hope you make lots of new ideas and put them in your Confidant!

@oskar_cieslik Love it! Talk about incredible timing :) I've been using a prototype for a few months and its so much better for me. So much space on the page
