@g_briel Haha thank you so much! It was one take and Clipchamp randomly brought in balloons.
@gerald_dobin xD It is what it is! Thank you so much! Do let me know how I could better the product if you happen to use it!
I love the idea, but I can't use it on my Chromebook. I'm not sure the last time I saw a new app that was desktop only. Is there a web version?
@gandalf_the_white Hey Gandalf! AS of now there is no support for web. But thinker cloud will feature web. Ill tell you the problem: For me to host in web, I will have to go to external cloud providers for hosting data for Thinker which will be a lot of cost for me without a subscritpion model in place and I wanted to have this product available for a cheap price as well so the best option for me was to build Thinker Local, whichs stores all your data locally!
However when I launch thinker cloud, I will launch a web version as well!
@le_hoai It is available for Mac with intel Chips, please install the demo from the website and give it a try!
@le_hoai Hey Le! I have updated the Intel Build for Thinker mac. Please check it out and let me know! https://www.thinkerapp.org
Congrats on the launch! How do you ensure the app stays user-friendly while still offering enough functionality to meet diverse needs? Can't wait to see what the cloud integration brings to the table!
@r_martirosyan Thank you, Roman! Since this product came as a result of my personal needs, I follow 'Do little to do more' principle when designing so only those features that are essential at the fingertips for a user will be part of Thinker.
And yes! Cloud will bring in real-time team Collaboration!
Upvoted coz sounds like it could be catnip for productivity. Plus, having everything in one spot is clutch.
Does Thinker play well with team collaboration, though? Keen to know if we can all doodle and drop tasks in real time without stepping on each other's digital toes.
If this tool can cut down the clutter on my desk and desktop, I'm all in. 📊🖌️
@aman_wen Thank you so much! Yep the idea was to have minimal requirements met in a single place without bloating it with too many features.
As of now I have not thought of team collaborations since the current launch is a local device application and not cloud. But Thinker Cloud will have team collaborations.
Please do let me know how you find the product to be and give feedback on how I can better it! Thank you for taking time on sharing your thoughts!
What a cool idea! I often find myself using pen and paper for mindmaps and notebooks for ideas, but that gets messy… I’m looking forward to try this! Great job Arjun!
@treyww Thank you so much Trey! Yes it is the very exact reason I built Thinker as I was facing the same problem. Do let me know How you find the product and looking forward to your feedback!
The concept is good. I will give it a try, but it seems there is no web version? @arjun_acharya
@heard Thank you! No there isnt a web version and wont be there in the future as well. Mainly because this is a desktop app and doesnt have a usecase on the web - please advise me otherwise.
@heard Main issue being the cost to host the data - i will have to incorporate a subscription modal which will be a little pocket heavy for some folks hence avoiding web version for now but will definitely give it a shot when I am building Thinker cloud
Hi Arjun - I like this a lot because it gives you the flexibility of a jamboard and has sticky notes that you can move freely around as well as a textbox and ways to catalog it (similar to Notion). Also love the chaotic humming in the demo, haha.
Would you make this for teams? Are you selling based on taking business away from Notion based on price? Curious what you think the market size for this is based on this target customer profile.
@siran_jiang Thank you so much Siran! Haha 😂 the humming was very impromptu
To answer your question:
1. Thinker cloud will have feature to share the project with multiple people.
2. I feel notion does a lot more than what thinker offers, but its an overkill for most users. This is more focused around project management and ideation for individual or small teams - More like a Milanote alternative
3. Not sure about this, but collaborative workspaces have huge market as people use it for journaling, maintaining wikies and more and there are full blow complex tools as well like obsidian and notion which have like a million users
@francescod_ales Thank you so much! Do let me know how you find the product and how I can improve it!
This is such a great app to track work a site and drawings received and sent. Great for architects!
@neha_vedaprakash Thank you so much! Indeed, It tries to serve the purpose of everyone!
