The thing I like about Walling is how the bricks behave when they move. They don't shrink or collapse. They are not see-through. They don't tilt. You don't have to follow a coloured indictor line to the spot you want to move it to. When you have tried/tested so many other apps with "cards" that you can move around a canvas or a board view and then you move around bricks in Walling you can feel the difference immediately.

You did a great job with that review. A lot of information within a reasonable amount of time. Even though it’s early on in its’ development I think bringing Affine into the mix was a good move because of its potential, and the fact that it is open source from what I understand. Have you ever taken a look at Fabric? Wasn’t that supposed to be a MyMind competitor?

Imagine if the Supernotes app merged with the Walling app...that means we could finally have notecards on a wall instead of bricks on a wall. The user experience would be the closest to replicating sticking physical notes or cards on a physical wall instead of building a wall of bricks.

Hopefully the new Walling features under the new Walling leadership will begin to roll out before the end of 2024.

Affine is the real deal if it keeps growing.

Anybody part of the Walling Slack community? Can anybody share any news from there or is it all private information?
