I am so surprised with what I can do with Cogency. It is hard to find an app with all in one features for team collaboration: from video calls, boards for collaborative works, sketches for brainstorming, task management and file sharing. I can easily create the "cards" and categorise them to conveniently arrange and access. - all in one handy and easy to use app of Cogency.
It is perfect for a small team. And it works smoothly. I can feel that this would help my team to uplift the efficiency significantly in the time to come.
I don't know how I missed this thus far but I am so glad I stumbled upon it a few days ago. I am using it to replace Miro and here are some of the thing I found interesting.
when you login to your sub-domain (you.cogency.io) you are presented with a minimalist screen and a calendar. The first option includes setting up a new meeting. This is very straightforward and reminiscent of what Zoom, Meet etc does. You can share the meeting code with others and set your preferences for the meeting. Next up is Boards. You can create new boards with as many coloumns you like and this can serve many purposes. For me it is a basic To do - In-Progress - Done - Comments to keep track of the work I am doing. You can make this private or share it uysing a link. Next up is the main bit for me- Sketches - where you are presented with an infinite canvas, either grids or plain in light or dark mode. All the usuals which one has come to expect from Miro is present here including images, background, fonts, shapes, strokes, layers, text, and. a personal library. You can even interlink projects.
Then there are chat, team and pages. The former two are self-explanatory but the Pages feature which is in Alpha looks very interesting. It opens up a fully fledged word editor canvas where you can add text, images, headers and fonts. I am still exploring this feature and can see it act as a landing page. What else is the purpose behind this? I haven't looked at any of the tutorials yet, all the above is my experience of playing with it for the past day or two. It is highly intuitive. Last but not the least, the team is highly responsive. I reached out with support requests on a Saturday evening and Linda was promptly on it. Thank you!
Now, some suggestions: 1) when i created my sub-domain, I had forgotten about it and on your website I struggled to find the login option. I had to revisit my emails to find it. Could there be a better way to do it? Maybe even a hint will refresh the meory as we all are using tons of apps and services now 2) I couldn't find a video embed feature. Is this something that is on the roadmap? 3) Would it be posisble to add Google calendar integration for better meeting scheduling?
Overall, a fantastic deal that gives me 8 licences, more than enough boards, sketches storage and participants. Many thanks and all the best wishes for 2022 :)

I am so happy you love our product! We always strive to give our customers the best service possible ( even on Saturdays LOL ), and we always listen on what the customers need! Just to let you know that one of your points about a centralized login resonated with us instantly and is already slated to be implemented this month. Here is our development roadmap, in case you want to follow!...

A hidden gem
Personally I have no idea how this well designed, fully functional product has gone so long unnoticed. Truly a hidden value.
