Decent but has room to grow
Has potential, but needs polish. The onboarding flow was smooth and I was productive from day one. Works consistently across all my devices and browsers.

Good for some things, not others
Good for some things, lacking in others. The onboarding flow was smooth and I was productive from day one. It integrates well with VS Code / Slack / Notion — my daily drivers. A few missing integrations I'd like to see added.
