I generally find these sort of diatribes against the market leading project management tools a little pointless. Another popular topic that also has numerous "we deserve better" articles is email.

The fact of the matter is solving those problems, while solving all the incredible long tail of corner cases, is incredibly difficult. You can theorize how things should be done and try to "rationalize" your way into some sort of ideal product, but as we've seen plenty of times, they eventually end up with a product that looks like an existing product (see Asana's evolution for example). It doesn't mean you shouldn't try, because my hunch is there's probably some sort of thing that just hasn't "clicked" yet, and the moment a product is able to do that, suddenly it'll become the most obvious way to do things. Until then companies will keep trying because it's an incredibly lucrative space, and there'll always be a new trendy system out there (Monday.com for example). But most of them end up being inferior in most ways, and superior in just 1 or 2 ways which forces the hand of larger companies to just to choose the larger one anyway.

Good luck to Dokkument in trying to get there. In this space you either die a hero or live long enough to become the villain.

OP here.

>I generally find these sort of diatribes against the market leading project management tools a little pointless.

Confluence and Notion are not project management software. But if you replace with knowledge base I agree with you.

At the end of the day the only things that matter is not the idea, it's the execution, and that's also the reason why we often end up with shitty tools.

We are trying something, if it clicks as you said, it clicks, if it doesn't it will be just another among the other ones
