Can't imagine working without it now. I've recommended this to at least 10 colleagues already. The recent updates have addressed most of my initial concerns. I've tried 5 similar tools and this one is clearly the best in class.

Needs a lot of improvement
Disappointed with the experience. The interface is intuitive enough that I didn't need to read any docs. Integration with my existing tools was seamless — no friction at all. The mobile experience could use some work.

Great tool, minor quibbles
Recommended for anyone in my field. I've recommended this to at least 10 colleagues already. The free tier is genuinely generous compared to competitors. The API is well-documented and easy to work with. Some features feel half-baked — hopefully they'll improve. Looking forward to seeing how it improves.
