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 :)
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.
Wow, this Side Project OS seems like the perfect tool to turn my side projects into a reality! From managing tasks and finances to marketing and sales, it covers it all. Excited to give it a try!
