I’ve built https://manor.app with the intention of it fitting the “user-friendly mass-market interface” you suggest. It’s essentially a “second brain” app for your home(s), covering inventory, documents, tasks/reminders, notes, etc. The inspiration is tools like Asana, Linear, etc I used in my career as a software engineer, tailored for the home.

It’s my sole area of focus, with more document retrieval and analysis (and UI polish) on the way.

This might be a personal preference, but I think you should put the demo (either a gif, video, or the button) front and center on your landing page. I was about to leave until I saw the demo option at the bottom, then almost left again until I noticed the demo persona that I could test without a login. Once I got into the demo I was hooked. Clean design and intuitive UI that shows me everything I'd be looking for in this type of app.

So many landing pages just explain things with text then jump straight to a signup or pricing page, but what I want to know at a glance is what does your app do. Again, might be a personal preference and I don't know how well this fits with the "call to action" rules people normally have for landing pages, but I typically ignore any site that can't show me what it does before it asks me to give information.

Is the Software Engineer role actually remote? The job posting says on-site and your Careers Page says:

> We work together, in person, in downtown San Francisco. And we have frequent team offsites. We believe this cadence is optimal for modern knowledge work. Remote work is not for us

mrchumbastic commented on U.S. grants TSMC annual licence to import U.S. chipmaking tools into China reuters.com/world/asia-pa... · Posted by u/DustinEchoes

More context on this in another article [1]. Seems like this only applies to older technology (DUV lithography) and it used to be a perpetual exemption that expired in 2025. Now they have to apply annually. Current gen tech (EUV lithography) is still banned, so status quo. Relevant bits:

> These three chipmakers used to enjoy validated end-user status, meaning they could freely import restricted items into China without asking for individual licenses. However, this privilege has expired at the end of 2025, meaning they now have to seek annual approval from Washington, D.C., to continue receiving advanced tools.

> The U.S. does not allow EUV lithography machines with U.S. technology to be exported to China, even to companies like TSMC and Samsung that have Chinese factories....The revocation of the validated end-user status for the China-based fabs of these companies shows that Washington is tightening its grip on chipmaking machines, even older DUV tech, to make it difficult for Beijing to create its own technology.

I've been noodling on this for a few years now but have procrastinated on trying to build something similar. Surprised there aren't more platforms that use breadth-first navigation or provide it as an option.

Just submitted it to Apple for review this past weekend... basically Scapple's visual text canvas meets Workflowy's hierarchical focusing. I mainly wrote the app for myself to organize my thoughts. Very happy with how it has turned out.

Edit: Would be interested to hear why this was downvoted?

mrchumbastic · 3 months ago

This looks pretty cool, I've wanted to make something similar but with more structure to the relationships between nodes. Did you implement the canvas from scratch or use something like xyflow?
