Hi SoftSpace,

This is a really exciting concept and I thank you for sharing it with us. I really like the warehouse feel and the vast amount of open space. At present I have been trying to use it to create memory palace and I can see it's potential. I believe the warehouse form factor distinguishes you from your competitors, who are trying who seem to be trying to recreate the office desk space and over-define the user experience.

Just to give some feedback on my experience to date. a) Is there an option to disable the drifting motion. After I stop moving myself I seem to maintain some form of momentum. I have a weak stomach and I am getting motion sickness after 15/30mins in the app. This means I cannot stay in the warehouse for too long. b) I am really excited about your road map, particularly sketching and savings files from the browser. I think your priorties are spot on. It would also be nice to reshap boards and notes to be taller or shorter. c) Is there a cursor for the text notes, so that I can edit the note mid way? d) I like to put on YouTube for background music. However, if I open a second webpage, it stops the first webpage. e) I don't thing I have figured out how to save my project yet. f) I tried using Google Collab for python programming on your web tool. I noted I wasn't able to login, which does seems like a sensible seurity procaution. I save my jupyter notebooks in google drive. Do you see collab/drive been available going forward.

Again, this is a really great concept and I look forward to following your progress. I would recommend to anybody to download and check out this program.

Patrick

Dear Patrick: thank you so, so much for your supportive feedback and input. While we try not to worry too much about what others are or aren’t doing in this field, I agree that the world probably doesn’t need another meeting room simulator. Thank you for noticing our approach and appreciating its value. To your points of feedback: a) Coasting. Yes, we’re looking at better calibrating this mechanic to make it more comfortable. There’s a fine line between moving too easily, and not easily enough. b) Resizing items is a general UI issue we need to tackle; scaling is much more straightforward than resizing, which is why that was implemented first. Adding this to the roadmap. c) Our text rendering engine is a bit finicky when it comes to VR. Better text editing is definitely on our minds. Also adding to roadmap. d) for performance reasons were actually only running one browser instance, headlessly. I’m looking into music service integrations... e) Do you mean export? Yes, that’s also something we need to figure out. Currently, everything is about the virtual workspace. We’d like to really make that good before implementing exports. f) I know that some login flows, especially involving pop ups, don’t work right now. This is on our internal task list. In conclusion: thank you for being awesome, and helping to make Softspace better.
