I'd love to learn more about your product and share some ideas. Keep up the excellent work! 🚀

Good luck with this!

Congratulations on the launch @notesbyhugh! Is the notion template customisable? I'm thinking of starting a side project but I'm not very familiar with Notion and not sure if ALL the features you've listed might be useful for me.

Congrats on the launch! Keen to test this with my side projects

I was just telling a friend yesterday about how I was struggling to centralize all my projects/workflows. Super stoked for this product- I absolutely can't wait to test it out! Good luck and congrats to the team :)
