DemoDay 2024-07-24

[#1]

Our first Demo Day was yesterday! It was a lot of fun meeting fellow founders and getting feedback on what we've been working on. Thanks @Kunal Sarpatil and @Shegun Holder for taking the time to share your work.

We also talked about Jira vs Trello and Confluence vs Notion, the upshot being that Jira and Confluence become more useful as organizations get bigger. Still, for people who've worked in large organizations, Jira and Confluence can be used effectively even for tiny teams. For instance, using Jira with GitHub integration works really well to keep code organized.

Here's a quick rundown of the attendees:
