Hello Hunters 👋,
In 2019 you made Creately’s relaunch the #1 Product of the day! Since then we’ve been working on some big things and today we are giddy with excitement to finally share them with the PH Community! 🤩
This launch is over 14 years in the making! We started Creately back in 2008 to build a fully visual way to work with ideas, apps, data, and docs; and while it may have been too early to introduce some of our ideas back then, but now feels like the perfect moment.
So….What problems do we solve🤔?
In essence we connect the dots across your company. Every idea, action, workflow, plan and doc is connected and always up-to-date, along with your other apps!
Sounds ambitious… we know! And while many others claim to do the same, it usually ends up in either systems being too complex (death by forms and pages), or too restrictive or simple.
Creately’s superpower is that we have an amazing smart canvas that’s backed by user defined databases. With predefined structures like Kanban boards, timelines, flowcharts, 2x2 grids and more, we have the visual tools to help you model and define whatever workflow you need in a super flexible way while still keeping the underlying data consistent.
What is it now ✨ ?
- 🖌️ It’s a free form canvas. You can drag, drop, draw anything there (including advanced diagramming with 1000s of templates).
- 🔗 Now items on the canvas can be ‘data bound’, and the same item can be in multiple places and contexts and always stays in sync. This unlocks multi-perspective views of the same data!
- 🧲I tems can be grouped, arranged and subsets can be created as needed.
- 📝 Each item can have its notes. This helps you have the big picture view and then drill into the details.
- 📊 Add multiple types of data to any item, from text, dates, tags and pick lists.
- 🧪 Add formulas (we support over 100+ excel compatible formulas).
- 🧮 Query and build calculations based on connected items.
- ♾️ Assign multiple workflow roles.
- 👁️ Manage all your work from the ‘My Tasks’ view.
This unlocks so many use cases like:
- Ultra flexible product/ project management flow.
- OKR and performance management, draw the goal tree you want and updates will keep everything in sync.
- Process mapping and flowcharts with data-fields!
- Kanban boards, Timelines and 2x2 prioritization grids.
We know, that’s a lot to take in. But essentially Creately has the tools and means to build ‘visual apps’, that work on the canvas.
On top of that, you can bring in data from other systems with 2 way sync! Changes you make on the canvas are reflected back on the data source . We have GitHub in production now and during April we will be releasing Google Sheets, JIRA, Salesforce and BambooHR.
Simply put, Creately is the most flexible way to build a system that goes from idea to execution in a single space. By having everything organized and in a single canvas - it makes finding things, understanding context and also branching out so much easier.
A lot of our success has come from the support we received from this community. We are thrilled to share all the cool new things we’ve built with you and can’t wait to hear what you think.
Happy Hunting 🚀!
@chandika this is exciting! I've been a fan of Creately for over 3 years now. We use it a lot to create
workflow and brainstorm ideas with our team. Love the simple UI and intuitive design, but what was frustrating was having to switch between multiple apps to execute our work. The data and Github integration sounds super promising if it means we can build workflows and manage our products on the same space.
Can't wait to give it a spin!
The new UI is great and much simpler to use. Been using Creately for almost a year now and this app has been quite useful in strategy visualization. The new Kanban board is a good addition which will allow seamless task tracking without having to switch to another app.
I've used Creately in 2017 for the diagramming purposes. I came back to the application last year to find out that the product has evolved to cater for a bigger and a much needed work environment. The goals and the objectives of the product have aligned in order to keep up with the rapidly evolving work culture and to better deliver for the more prominent requirements. I really love how customizable everything is. I can start building using the platform as the base and the support system. The newly added data driven notes panel is every multiple-app-user's dream, since everything stays in sync. I can't wait for the upcoming integrations so that I can fully move all of my work to Creately.
Although we haven't used Creatly yet, its captivating UI and innovative approach have caught our attention. The seamless blend of aesthetics and functionality promises a user experience that is both visually appealing and highly efficient. From what we've seen, Creatly seems to embody the perfect balance between form and function, making it an enticing choice for teams seeking a smart solution to enhance productivity. We're eager to explore its capabilities further!
