Clean design and simple, smooth experience
From 3 comments
Lovely design and ui, feels somewhat scandinavian. Lots of attention to detail, very smooth experience. I wish it had more contrast though because it makes me squint a little, if…
aleo on HNHonest feedback here, the choice to use the fade in effect on every single element on the home page resulted in me leaking out of the funnel at the very top. I just couldn't…
CodeWriter23 on HN@bjoernm Nuclino is beautiful, reminds me of this (at the end): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u4AXaFlIFQA I love how you've enabled users to take down ideas in a very quick way…

Simplicity compared to traditional wikis

Objections
Pricing hidden at bottom of site and unclear; freemium distrust
From 4 comments
Your pricing page is tucked away at the bottom. It's one of the first pages I go to, and hiding it like that makes me think you're trying to trick me.
danr4 on HNPlease listen to the GP. Pricing needs to be in the top menu and not hidden away in footer. You will lose tons of prospects because they will think pricing is not transparent. I…
codegeek on HNI thought there was no pricing available until I came back and saw this comment, would not sign up for "freemium".
ricardobeat on HNSorry, I should've been more clear: the lack of pricing info is what would prevent me from signing up (free == questionable longevity, reliability, qos). At this point I'm…

Low contrast makes text hard to read

Lovely design and ui, feels somewhat scandinavian. Lots of attention to detail, very smooth experience. I wish it had more contrast though because it makes me squint a little, if…
aleo on HNLooks interesting. The demo on the frontpage could use a bit more contrast. The pricing model mentions 'Private workspaces'. Does that mean the free option is visible to all…
Gys on HNI very much agree about the contrast issue. On my Mac it's great but if I plug in a less-than-perfect monitor it's too hard to look at. Your product has a great look and feel,…

Per-user price is high for teams
From 1 comment
I'm likely in the minority and mean nothing negative, but for our team $9/m per user is a bit spendy. We'd love to pay (and need private workspaces), but while this product does…

Items and content only one level deep
From 2 comments
Really smooth user experience and fair pricing. Still I find one negative point that really makes it unusable for me : Content are only one level deep. Unless I missed a feature…
Dryken on HNThanks Dryken! Inside a workspace there is currently only one level of nesting by using clusters. However, you can use internal links like in a wiki to create index pages that…

Mobile apps

Like many here, I appreciate the design and feel of the product. It looks like you're experimenting with a desktop app (although you don't mention which platforms) is there any…
rjvs on HNIt looks promising. I really like the way you set your pricing tiers without limiting the number of items / rows / entries available to the user. However are there any plans for…
thirdsun on HNEven though we'd love to, we don't offer mobile apps yet. You can use Nuclino in a mobile browser, but it's not something we've been focusing on. As far as priorities go, we're…

Import from Trello and export formats such as HTML
From 3 comments
This does look a lot like a much better Trello. Does this support import from Trello?
JoshTriplett on HNLet's say a team signs up with your service and after a couple of years requirements change and they want to migrate. What are the formats that one could export the data?
type0 on HNAnything that is properly parsable, including relations and references. So HTML with proper semantics and ids would be good!

SSO and 2FA support such as Google login

boyd on HNDoes it provide 2FA? I'm looking for a tool like this, but my company handles a lot of sensitive material and so having 2FA is a hard requirement.
luxbock on HNWe're planning to add Google SSO which supports 2FA. Would that work for you?

Questions
How does it compare with Notion?
From 2 comments
Really nice work. Are you familiar with Notion? I would love to hear your pitch why I might want to use Nuclino instead of something like Notion.
peternicky on HNTried it some months ago and preferred Notion. Is there a comparison with pros and cons?
