@dimablover Definitely some similarities, but we've always found RealTimeBoard/Mural/etc to be a bit too "literal" in terms of how they've moved post-it notes to the screen.
We're trying to do something similar (in terms of allowing spatial relationships between information) but without the legacy that you get by copying paper.
Hope that makes sense!
You're quick @owen_yin, I was just going to share this. It looks very useful! Good work everyone, and thanks for offering a free plan!

@simoncchapman My bad man, I was up late studying and got super excited when I saw it go live! 🙌 Couldn't wait to share 😊
Hello Product Hunt!
Milanote is based on the idea that behind every great piece of work is a lot of research, thinking and planning that is often messy, unstructured and takes time to evolve.
That's why Milanote is much more visual, flexible and tactile than similar products. We've really tried to reproduce the feeling of working on a wall in a creative studio.
I'd also love to hear any feedback on the concept 😊
@oliebol I'll be reviewing this one on my YouTube channel too - heard many good things!
@oliebol Guys, I love you already, one day later and I'm more efficient than ever. where should I pay ? oh, ok, on my way:)
@oliebol "a lot of research, thinking and planning that is often messy, unstructured and takes time to evolve", this is a great insight! Thanks for creating such a platform to service this need.
I am recently participating an event which is based on Milanote. A TEDx curator designs and hosts a virtual event which is titled BACK TO W.E.C.
W.E.C. stands for the Whole Earth Catalog which is an American counterculture magazine and product catalog published by Stewart Brand several times a year between 1968 and 1972, and occasionally thereafter, until 1998. The magazine featured essays and articles, but was primarily focused on product reviews.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wh...
The event is designed as a four-week paid program. Participants receive a copy of some selected pages of W.E.C. and they can read it in home. The curator and his two co-hosts use Milanote to host the event and participants can add notes about W.E.C. and create new boards for theme-specific discussion and curation. They also use other tools such WeChat (they come from China), and some real time audio chat tools for ongoing discussion and communication.
I am an independent researcher. The curator invites me to join the event. It is a great opportunity for me since I want to conduct some study projects about platform-based social practice. My research is based on a theoretical framework I developed recently: Platform for Development (2.0) https://medium.com/call4/p4d2-83...
I'd like to share what I learned from the project and research soon.
@oliebol it took me a while to understand how I could use this product even though I already knew it was kinda cool. I think it would be great if 1. there was a video on a website explaining what Milanote is and what to use it for 2. there were some articles/blogs(?) showing how others use the app or how people could use it :) Good job on the product, keep it up!
@vytasbu Thanks Vytas—agree about needing more examples/guides since it's such an "open" tool. That's going to be a big focus for us over the coming months/years :)
We've been using Milanote for a few ideaboards at Smooch after @romilly1 introduced us to it.
I've been really impressed by the product so far and find it really useful for collecting an array of different types of media when putting together a concept and mapping out a project. Definitely recommend giving it a try!
Very, very cool. It works like my brain does. I've shared the app with our design team who have already started using it. Well done, team.
Are you planning on adding keyboard shortcuts? Clicking and dragging stuff sucks in the long-run because it inhibits my workflow with your app. Context menus? It's annoying that almost all web interface/apps never bothers with customizable keyboard shortcuts. If i can think faster than i can work in an application i am limited.
Hi @kevinohlsson - We've got a bunch of shortcuts already and we'll definitely build more as we go. Here's a starting list: http://help.milanote.com/getting....
wow... great looks aside, it's got "jealousy-inducing execution". I might just quite and go work at Arby's.
How long from MVP to this version?
@jessekorzan I wrote a super rough MVP in mid-2015, which we iterated for around 6 months. The version you're seeing was re-written from scratch once we knew what we wanted to build, starting almost exactly a year ago.
I am a political and data scientist...and this is something I was looking for. What is great about this UI is that it looks pretty much how I see my work in my head. Will definitely play around with it!!
I'll try it right away. But don't know why I need a cross-over of Google Keep, Pinterest, Evernote and Trello (use it all, never satisfy).
I'm in love with this. It fills the void I've always felt but didn't know how to fix, and it's only day one. Thank you!
@oliebol This is dope, been playing around, Milanote definitely gives me a nice a feeling when I'm using it :)
Some suggestions that would be cool to see:
1) Ability to form a clickable link within a Note
2)To import a photo from a URL
3)To be able to select multiple items and delete them at once
@marko_is thanks Marko! #2 is already possible—if you create a link card and paste an image URL into it you'll get an image card automatically. The others are on the list, feel free to give them an extra vote here: http://www.milanote.com/poll/ 😀
I've been using Milanote for just under 2 weeks now and it's been a blast!
Primary use cases (so far) have been for design documentation and mood/inspiration boards, but really anything goes with what this puppy can do.
It's entirely replaced what I've been trying to use InVision boards and note taking apps for, and will likely be what our design team uses in the future.
Things I'd like to see in the future:
- images opening in a modal
- android app
- more awesomeness :p
@jonathanamendes Thanks Jonathan! All three are on the list, particularly the last one ;)
Love it in one day use, it give me everything. I m a designer i usually take lot of inspiration it helps me to put together all the inspiration and setup a mood board
Pros:Love the trash icon concept
Cons:Free plan can provide more than 100 card :).
Milanote is everything I desired about a notes app.
This is really how my creative process work.
Feature I'd like to see soon:
* Android app
* Chrome extension
* Video embedding
* Tagging would be usefull
Super great job!
I really dig this! Any plans for integrations with other productivity and note-taking apps (i.e. Evernote, Trello, Slack, etc.)?
@oliebol a breath of fresh air among similar products. Lives up to its promise "Evernote for designer", but also helpful to anybody involved in ideation of products in general too.
Particularly impressed by thoughts(and brilliance of execution) put into making it work like a desktop. It's like, desktop with superpowers! Truly amazing!
Kudos to the Milanote team. Great work guys!
Could put the fun back into organization!
Anyone use with 7,8,9inch screens. What's the suggested minimum screen size for UI to work?
Hey @rockky - Works well on small laptops, is best on big screens. Mobile apps are on the way :)
