But also from my end, this leaves me pretty unmotivated. I've been working on an mvp to launch my own startup the past month, and today I find out it already exists in your product.
This is, if anything, a good sign for your project. It means the idea is _somewhat_ validated by YCom. That's far better than doing something that isn't validated at all!
as a new manager, had the same exact idea and found a few companies in this space[0][1] (and now this one too)
ultimately decided there's just too many competitors. my only gripe with all of these is that they're heavily subscription based/pay to use monthly, etc. i want something more personal that i can just purchase for like $10-20 (more like an app on my mac that i can just use forever)
my other gripe is that i don't want to have to onboard my entire team onto it. i want to only use it myself as like a reference guide for the health gauge of my team. i dont need them all inputting their OKRs into these products
We have a small team starter plan that's $5 total for your first 5 users.
Also, we'll only charge you for additional users if you a) invite them and b) they sign in and become active.
So definitely can stay at $5/m and use it as a personal tool for as long as you want to. It's on the product to convince you your life can be significantly easier through inviting people, not me
Happy to build this space with you, together. Competition is good for customers and ultimately that's who I'm serving.
Email me brennan at hypercontext.com and I'd be happy to collaborate.
