Balsa Modules v2 final
#feat-better-docs
A better doc for making software
We are huge fans of products like Dropbox Paper and Notion. These products are great for lots of different use cases, but we aim to make a document that is great for making software—with the ability to write specs and put a plan into action in one place.
Simplified text formatting that make docs easy to write and a joy to read
Structured modules like milestones that can power views like timelines and rosters
All-in-one workflow from doc to execution without the overhead of out-of-date documentation or switching tools
Kickoff prep
Create a feature channel in Slack
Project plan first draft (this one)
Kick off meeting 🚀
Balsa's checkboxes are no ordinary checkboxes. With milestones and tasks, you can easily organize your projects, track progress, assign responsibility, and power views like timeline.
