I’ve been growing increasingly frustrated with Notion over time due to its growing feature bloat and sluggishness. I decided to give ByDesign a try, and for some unknown reason, it just clicks.. at least for my personal planning and productivity right now, with the potential to move work workflows over later once the project matures a bit.

The customer support is fantastic. They are super responsive and quickly address my issues in the chat. There are definitely still some quirks and bugs, especially within the Android app, which shows the platform has some improvements to do. However, the core foundation is solid enough to be a keeper.

My main concerns and wishes for the future would be achieving full GDPR compliance, squashing the remaining bugs, adding Google Tasks sync, at least light database/kanban features, and opening up a public API. I know some of these are already coming soon, and I can't wait for future updates!
