Ask Michael #8: Feature Requests at Nozbe
10 years in business – and just as many years listening to customers. We get feature requests every single day. And that’s what the latest “Ask Michael” episode is about!
You might be curious what we do with your requests. Are they stored somewhere? Does anyone read them?
First, we carefully review your requests. Then we save them in a special Nozbe project. And use them while planning future releases. But our experience tells us that (usually) simply adding new features isn’t actually what you really want.

Ask Michael #7: Nozbe & Slack
Nozbe isn’t the only app we use to get things done. We also use Slack. The natural question is: is integration between these apps on the way?
Although we strongly prefer asynchronous communication because it doesn’t disrupt deep work, we need more “live” and less action-focused field too – to keep a healthy balance. Slack handles this very well.
Check out what Michael has to say about Slack, its role on our team and the future of integration between Nozbe and Slack:

Ask Michael SPECIAL EPISODE: a Decade of Productivity
A new episode of the Ask Michael series is chock-full of facts and conclusions from 10 years of Nozbe. Michael speaks for himself about how he got started and what has changed since 2007.
Recently we’ve shared the history of the Nozbe app. Today Michael presents his own point of view. How did he meet David Allen? What was the first book about Nozbe? What’s next?
This video is a bit longer than usual, as the history of Nozbe can’t be told in a few minutes.
