Fibery as a CRM? 🤔

Agree with this. I think Monday and ClickUp are among the range of “project management” first tools (throw in Wrike, Teamwork, Asana, etc etc) that have been around a relative long time, and still are pretty rigid and remain uninteresting vs. Fibery for my team due to some of the unique things Fibery provides:

  • Amazing wiki-like referencing and creation of items with the “#,” in particular the inline capability, then backlinks with context that let you see the source of literally everything in Fibery if properly utilized by users

  • Good enough search that indexes just about everything, although a lot of improvement could be gained here

  • No notion of a “task” that dominates these other tools, even though some of them now refer to “items” etc when in reality at their core the atomic entity is generally a task of some sort. That makes it artificial to track stuff that isn’t work in those apps

  • Like the old “no code” core group such as Airtable, Coda, and Notion - the big “three” alternatives for a good few years some time back, Fibery treats all entities the same, and you wind up with a very simple solution. I actually think Docs are unnecessary because entities in DB’s can do all what Docs can, and the fewer types of features in an app to deal with, the better. Clickup, Monday, Asana etc all make you use some kind of alternative entity to handle Docs, Notes, chats. In Fibery I’d still like to see the evolution to where the comments could become “referable,” in particular like here in Discourse where they are able to be quoted by just dragging (feature request Ability to quote text across Fibery like in Discourse). This would provide a truly unique edge on the Notion’s, Tana’s, Capacities, - all the bleeding edge stuff of the market, none of which can handle this well.

A bit off topic I know but always interested to discuss the ins-and-outs of Fibery vs the other guys and the continued evolution I hope to a tool that can truly serve to document all a team’s activities, and provide the absolute superior approach to traceability and clarity within the content that is contained within.

Thanks!
