Good for some things, not others
Mixed feelings, but ultimately positive. Integration with my existing tools was seamless — no friction at all. The interface is intuitive enough that I didn't need to read any docs. Customer support response times could be faster.

Expected better
Disappointed with the experience. I've tried 5 similar tools and this one is clearly the best in class. The mobile experience could use some work.

Had some issues
Had high hopes, fell short. 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.
