Capacities' Three Fundamental Pillars

[@khanmagne5124]

Fantastic. Finally, a tool that matches how my brain works. Thank you capacities. i won't have to force myself into obsidian

[@ShrivastavAditya]

Hey bro, are you still using it. How's your journey been so far. I recently discoverd capacities and it glowed sparks in my eyes too.

[@khanmagne5124]

@@ShrivastavAdityayes I do use it as a second brain alongside Notion :)

[@flowmardev]

@@khanmagne5124 Obsidian is great... or so I thought before I found Capacities! Obsidian has too many plugins and too many different ways to splice them together for it to be useful for me, personally. I love how Capacities is the perfect balance of structured and open-ended. It works the same way my mind does too. =)

[@geofffitch]

Hi - A suggestion. I'm a Believer and love Capacities. I love the content that Reflect is creating which is focused on the method and good practices more than the tool itself (although there is plenty on how to use the tool.) I'd love to see more of this from Capacities, where the content is more about the technology. Thanks.

[@CapacitiesHQ]

Great suggestion! We certainly have lots of content planned, but if there is anything specific you'd like to see in the coming months, do let us know :)

[@nendu4316]

i was literally about to make my brother build me something like this. As a visual artist this is a god send I have some critique but will do a write up after Ive actually used this. Excited to try

[@InglesConConfianza]

I discovered Capacities at random, looking for a good way to organize my notes. Notion is good for collaborative work or creating a wiki. I used Obsidian a long time, but I found myself spending more time setting things up with the plugins then anything else. Checked many others too. But this one, first impression, I'm liking it. It feels that you guys really deeply thought about the UX. There are some things that need to be worked out, like keyboard shortcuts so you can do everything without a mouse-but it's a solid start.

[@Lilia_AromaCoach]

amazing product . presentation is great YET very fast , as I like to learn the functionalities on the proper way

[@CapacitiesHQ]

Glad you like our product and presentation. We will try to improve this in future videos.

[@Charlie-v5y]

I got the same issue.. very fast ... so, I implanted a work-around ... stop every sentence.. write essence thought in progress, assimilate the content ..Basically you are learning how a distributed ata base works

[@commanderjoy4927]

I think I've finally found a method that will work for me! I checked out the Big Guys and was turned off by the highly-structured and complex method just to use the app. However my brain does not work that way. Giving Capacities a go.

[@GaijinRuffis]

Wow I love how i learn from this great video but Beautiful Host, Cheers!

[@mohamedissaoui9255]

I am just getting into it, love the object-based approach to orgonise everything. Though, I invite you to slow down a bit when presenting things it helps to grasp the ideas effectively.

[@roncanfil]

Great video!

[@archimboldocascus5805]

This is the app I have been looking for. Fantastic!

[@Altropos]

Hi Beth, I'm working out capacities. On first flance, it seems like the perfect combination of free-flow and structure that my brain needs. I am confused however, why for example if I create a meeting, and in the properties on the left it asks me "people involved", these people do not seem to link back to the object "people". This defeats the purpose as I still have to write "person x" "y" and "z" in a meeting. I might be wrong though. Could you explain further?

[@CapacitiesHQ]

If you write @{person's name} in the property, you'll create a link to their object.

[@wassie2009]

I'm really surprised that this video is linked in the Getting Started portion of Capacities when you first open it. This is so rushed and the screen in bouncing around so fast that it's nearly impossible to follow. I'm a Notion user and assumed it would be relatively familiar process getting started in Capaciities. But, honestly, this just makes me want to quit before I start. It's completely overwhelming and utterly confusing. I'll try to find some 3rd party video to see if there's a better way to understand. But I'm more intimidated now than I was before I watched this.

[@glom1000]

Please slow down! I need time to process all your good information. Thank you.

[@TerryMilesSurrey]

Yes! Please do slow down!!!!!!!!

[@WindsorCraftDesigns]

In case you don't know, KZbin settings allows you to adjust the speed. I adjusted the speed on this video to 75%

[@surjist]

Oh ny goodness. Finally. Finally. Finally. Thank you.

[@mappyeverafter]

Thank you for a great tutorial. At 1:40, there's a Brand Strategy mind map/diagram. Is this a special view doable in Capacities or was it created elsewhere and uploaded to Capacities as a image (or other) object?

[@CapacitiesHQ]

Glad you liked it! That is just an image object pasted into the space.

[@CraigDeLarge]

Does Capacities have the option for one to email Objects into one's database like EverNote does?

[@CapacitiesHQ]

You can email to your daily note - docs.capacities.io/reference/integrations/email#email-integration

[@wilfredpadilla6685]

I think, this can fit me. Easier to use but has a lot of features!

[@tony-winyard]

Hi Beth, on the video I noticed ypu have object types called "Countries" and also "Locations". I'm interested how do you use these. Is every location within a country? Also, in your course, you mentioned that soon Capacities would enable the feature to import a csv file into it, thus allowing us to import all of the countries in one fell swoop. Do you have any idea when that might be enabled?

[@CapacitiesHQ]

Hi, yes every location is in a country (it's a select property between the location and country object types). CSV is being re-built and it will come back with the bulk import, but we don't have a specific timeline for this at this point. Keep a look out for our announcements!

[@AaronM.Keuper]

Interesting and very compelled to move my Notion over to Capacities. Capacities appears to value what I need as an individual, for my knowledge management needs, as opposed to a Collaborative Company Wiki/Portal that I really need a template or consultant to "dashboard" for me. Do I have that assessment right? Is Capacities really trying to make the individual knowledge worker a priority?

[@CapacitiesHQ]

Yes, it's one of our values! We wrote more about this on our "What's Next" page which might be of interest: capacities.io/roadmap/whats-next

[@AaronM.Keuper]

@@CapacitiesHQ Hey - I know Capacities is building out Task Management. Wondering what specifically is planned for that. I am an avid Todoist user and often times what happens when a PKMS start moving into Task Management, the intention by the product is to have the user deleverage existing task management tools in favor of the new offering. I would hate to see that the interplay between Todoist and Capacities gets set aside for what's coming.

[@TakarieZan]

A very confusing aspect about Capcities are Basic Objects vs Created Objects. From my understanding creating our own objects will not give the full functionality of a basic object. Furthermore certain basic objects are essentially just properties. Best example being tags. Tags is shown as an object but it essentially a property that is a giant pool. When I saw Location I thought you could create a separate pool just for location, but from what I can see you can not. It will either be pooled under the basic object Pages or Tags. This is extremely confusing because that means not all objects operate the same despite being called "objects". Furthermore Daily Notes object can't be used as a property. Weblink isn't a property but will auto populate based on the text property. So created objects realistically operate exactly like linking Notion Pages with no way to do independent tagging or creating your own property from what I can see. A different name would leviate the confusion. Correct me if I am wrong of course.

[@CapacitiesHQ]

Hi, I think there is some confusion here so I'd like to help clear it up. There are differences between basic and custom content types, but there is a lot of flexibility in using them. With custom content types, you can create your own properties. You can also use dates as a property and they automatically link to your daily note. Could you send some screenshots of your set up to [e-mail] and let me know what you're trying to achieve, so we can find a solution for you?

[@Charlie-v5y]

FIre hose spee presentation... was turned off initially , but very curious about the concept, so I came back next morning with a fresh min an implemented a hack ... a work-around ... stop every sentence.. write essence thought in progress, assimilate the content ..Basically you are learning how a distributed ata base works

wow, loooks great!

Can I add handwritten notes from my tablet?

There is no handwriting support.

@@CapacitiesHQ Is it in the roadmap?

Title of second video should be title of the first o rewrite titile "Getting Started" to a title that means see this first. The classic for this is Apple's "Read Me First" pamphlet that appeared on the top of the first mac when you opened the box.

[@SergeyHudiev]

Thank you!

[@stuartyirui]

1) Would be much easier to follow if the three fundamental pillars are at the beginning rather than having to wait. 2) Speaker needs to slow down her pace to be better understood. 3) Script needs editing/cuts to be more readily understood.

[@ilmonforuse]

Guys your app is amazing but you don't market it enough. I wish I have heard of it when it just came out. Please market it more not for you but for us too :)

I am loving Capacities. And the host/teacher is excellent. However I am an American and the speaker needs to slow down slightly for me to catch the phrasing. This is not a criticism, just a personal observation-- and it may only relate to me. If so, just ignore me.

[@CapacitiesHQ]

Appreciate your feedback, will be worked on in future videos!

David, you would greatly benefit by using .75 playback speed. Gear symbol, playback speed, .75.

[@CapacitiesHQ]

Thanks for your feedback!

[@ArizeOW]

Capacities makes fundamental features, like choosing an icon for a page, paid only for 10 bucks a month. This is unacceptable and the reason why I uninstalled it straight away.

[@TheKer7]

Do you like people stealing your stuff? This is not a funsy project somebody is making for themselves. Quite ignorant and unrespectful comment. Of course you don't need to buy it or use it or even like it, but saying "THEY ASK MONEYYY" sounds very juvenile, it's their work. Of course, your opinion matters, to you, and you may be stupid, and that's my opinion. Its an ignorancefest, void of understanding and empathy. This is why I downvoted your comment straight away. I'm not a fan, probably not gonna use it, I am just making my own similar thing and I am here to steal ideas and watch what makes people tick/not. But this tick of paying money, well I just won't be sad in letting the likes of you go, IF I even get to the point of having other people use it.

[@ahsookee]

You act like you are a paying customer and deserving of their service

[@ArizeOW]

@@ahsookee Why do you defend bad user experience? I am definitely willing to pay for good software. But marketing the software as free and then putting core features behind a paywall is a miserable user experience. Either it costs money from the beginning or you let a user test the features. However, a free app that lacks essential functions is totally useless.

[@teaching-learning]

Wow, this is a terrible video for a company that is involved in knowledge management. The host is talking and talking while the mouse is doing completely unrelated stuff. It's distracting. Why not put the lady full screen with just keypoint about what she is talking about, then move on to examples. I am baffled by why companies try to save money on things like this. These videos are the face of the company.

[@CapacitiesHQ]

Thanks for your feedback!

[@productivity8696]

This is incredibly unconstructive criticism coming from an account that calls themselves "teaching-learning". The presentation was on point as well as all on-screen examples relevant.
