The feature for sending messaging and posting comments to a tab is some pretty clever and creative UX. Seriously next level future stuff and congrats for just coming up with the concept.

I like that it's all timeline based. For my use case, we currently use Front email thread and then link to a Shared Dropbox where we post everything (including links to like a Google Doc or webpage). I think having chronological bookmarks like you do would be clearly better. I also know many people who use Google Groups and Google Doc to document progress too -- which I think would be insane / nightmare but teams do it. You all definitely would solve that automatically.

Couple other notes:

- Whenever I screenshare with a team or others I see 1000 bookmarks or tabs on their browser. I could not imagine the nightmare of how that would impact my workflow or the timeline. Trusting AI to clean stuff up or hunt is not for me.

- I can tell you all have been heads down blitzing (dog in video, phone ringing in background of another) but I think a separate "Solutions" page where you tackle specific examples would be nice to see or browse.

- Maybe too much or not really your goal, but right now need some sort of client integration for an outside person. I can't imagine giving access to a client on a whim and training them on this. Instead, maybe automatic email integration where their emails show up in the timeline and can respond directly from there. Would produce a really great timeline for where things left off and when things are being communicated. Being able to sub-comment and share files/updates/things on Front on email threads is one of the most killer features for productivity and a team. Mixing this with what you all have could be even more next level. Again though, might not be the goal.

Congrats and best of luck! Big fan of people trying to tackle PM stuff and think you all are doing a great job.

Great idea for creating some specific videos for engineers, designers, etc.

Browsers are interesting since they can do almost anything but "you can do anything you want!" is intimidating for many new users.

We've given e-mail thought and it's certainly a door we are considering as we keep on building. Has anyone built a browser without thinking about an email client? :P

Integrating an AI tab organizer of which they’re very few and the chrome one is essentially garbage, would make this a definite purchase for me. The AI should organize my own tabs and the ones I share
yup, that's Muddy. One of our users described it as a self healing slack channel with tab groups.
