If that means remembering so you don't have to, Grug say yes. But call it whatever you want. Second brain, notes app, or just Grug.
No, but Grug big fan. Grug Brain Dev = prophet of simplicity. We agree, complexity very bad. Manufacturing teach same lesson.
Built to be sustainable at 100 users. No VC funding, no growth-at-all-costs. We operate within Kamanu Composites which has been around since 2007. We aim to last.
Old-school web tech meets cutting-edge AI.
Because sometimes boring is beautiful.
Philosophy: We take inspiration from Hacker News, Craigslist, and McMaster-Carr. Use proven tech, sprinkle in modern AI where it actually helps. Skip the heavy JavaScript frameworks. Build something fast, functional, and built to last.
Grug Notes is a product from Kamanu Composites. Yes, we make canoes. We design them, build them from scratch, and sell them directly to customers. We do everything in-house to a fault — including building our own software since 2008. In 2020, we made 900,000 face shields and stayed organized with Roam Research. We learned a lot about scale, note-taking, and life.
After that, we knew what we wanted: the organization without the overhead. The linking without the learning curve. Notes that work when you're on the shop floor. So, in October 2022, we put a text box on a website, and Grug Notes was born. We march forward, always keeping simplicity at our core and our roots in manufacturing in our hearts.
