Hello everyone, welcome back to the Keep productive YouTube channel on today's feature we're doing a little bit of an impromptu video
I actually discovered that this application called walling and it was posted a couple of times on my Twitter page
Ryan Hoover shared a little bit of it sort of like a video of it on his page. He's the
Founder of product ton and I'm a big fan of product ton and naturally
I thought I'd do a little bit of a first impressions on this application
It sort of markets itself as a better way to organize and refine ideas
It looks a little bit like if Trello tasks a the notion had a baby
It's got the sort of classic sort of Y in blank design that notion has whilst retaining the sort of roundness
Abilities of task aide but has a very similar column ability like Trello
So what we're going to do in this video is I'm actually just fresh off
I'm literally gonna open this application nan installed it before and I thought give you my first opinion
So let's dive into walling. Okie dokie, so we're on the home page here
It does have a few bits of information about the quick tour
Let's look at the pricing because you know
it's important to know that when we start so it looks like
It says the walling is currently available on web and Mac OS that they don't have an iOS and Android version
They have a seven day free trial
Zoom in here and then it's four dollars per month for unlimited bricks and walls
I quite like the concept of it
But I guess it's stealing silly sort of the concept that many companies have had like notion like blocks
and that sort of
It's just started raining awfully
So they also offer
Workspaces for teams would centralized billing for six dollars per month per team member which isn't bad
But let's take a look and sign up for this application
Ok, so apparently it's loading my walls. So this should be quite cool
I'm not sure what to expect with this application
If I'm honest, I feel like a lot of things are gonna be so pinched from notion and task aid, but let's see. Oh
Okay, so here we go
first out it definitely looks like notion because you've got this sort of sidebar that looks almost identical to it and
You get sort of met with no one boarding, but you have the ability to create a wall
So I'm going to go ahead and press command
J probably different on your computers, but let's start a new one. Let's maybe put like Christmas
ideas or Christmas present ideas just start of
Sort of collecting them and you can once you create a wall you can actually put it into a collection
So this is sort of similar to like an app like Mila note
But let's say it's just a personal item seeing as work isn't there it's just come up in the corner
They've got a 50% off which I'll just dismiss because I haven't even started using it yet
So it's probably something the team should know. Um, so here we go
Um, I can see Sir in a way that you can create a section title
so maybe these are the column concepts so I could put family and
Create a new brick. So the brick is created within this section, but you can create different sections. So if I went and
made one for friends and
what I quite like a guess is the new section thing because obviously you've got
Sort of like to do it in terms that I think create a new section
Because see it appears in this sort of my collection up here. They've got an example one here
For organizing your life on their example one includes like shopping lists
Living this could be organizing your home, I guess
Some to-do lists for the car and changing the air filter a little bit of a guide. I like how the images come in
Let's try and go and create something relatively similar to this
So in this case, I like start dumping ideas for Christmas presents in here
You know and these are fake ones. So if my family's watching this isn't what you're going to be getting
so I'm going to paste the embed there and
Every time I'm doing this it seems to be freezing and I don't know whether it's me or whether it's the rain outside
Okay for some reason
Doesn't seem to be working with the links. So if I go and paste the URL
and
Try and enter it
Freezes up on me, okay
So you can already tell this applications pretty early days, so let's instead go and sneak this image instead and
and
Paste it into here
So I do have a visual
Sort of idea and obviously if I was able to add a link I could I think that's probably just a bug
Let's open this up and fill now I've got the image so images sort of spray in line
Which is quite nice and let's say I could just put a little bit of a header here
just below it and I could say the tea set seats set from
Jean-louis maybe
And you can add more details as well. If you had any ideas for example a checklist and
Some text as well, so that could be a good way to add images
The images were fairly easy to add as well that some and I noticed so what you can also do is you can what's called
Resolve your brick
so this is actually a way to complete the task and
I can get it back if I press show and I can see the resolved bricks, which is quite cool. You can see that the
The actual URL posted in here which I did before so it seems to have like a slight delay, which is strange
Um, and if I wanted to unresolved the brick I could bring it back in the options now if I wanted to as well
I could move the brick to another section. I could set for example move it to friends
And I could move it back by dragging it as well
So you do have the functionality of both doing it through options and there and you can also move it to another wall
Which is a cool idea, too
And also you can change the background color of it as well
and sort of reminds me of like Google keeps in allowing you to do that and
You can also remove the brick too and also add it to my desk
We're gonna add it to my desk
But we'll come back to that in a moment because I quite like this concept of my desk
But let's see how it works out in practicality. I'm gonna go ahead and create a new wall for the course that we're doing
The to-do course coming and work. So I'm gonna go ahead and create the small and
Obviously I get a blank canvas
But I could be like things to do and I'm gonna go ahead and create a brick by pressing ctrl B. And
We're gonna say launch checklist on where to post this out on and we're gonna start with a little bit of a checklist
Let's add a few items
Okay, so I've added a few items there and the great thing is you can move this spout
So if I wanted to create the launch banner to start I can do that
You can actually move this section about whether it's inside of here
If you have multiple checklist, or you can move it to another area, which I think is pretty cool
So that's just by doing the and checklist ability and you can also add files as well
So for example, if I wanted to add the course picture I could do as well
and you can see it embedded below there now if I wanted to as well and this brick to my
Desk area I can do that, too
And if I wanted to as well, I could create different sections for the different activities
I've got just going on to this area. This is quite a nice view
I quite like the fact that you've got these sort of like
You know created by and you've sort of got your profile photo there if I had my own personal account
I'd have the one different from there. I noticed as well that you can resolve sections
So for example, if this project was completed you'd be like resolve it and it remains in the archive section
And also here you can add numbered areas as well as interact inside of comments. So for example, you can add a comment
You can hide the item remove item. But what's quite nice is it sort of allows you to do numbered lists?
Which I think is a pretty decent feature
now if you want to add a new brick to any of the sections
You can either tap it up here or you can use this feature up here adding a new image or a new bookmark
So for example if I wanted to go ahead and add that
John Lewis thing
It looks like they're links don't currently work
Which is a bit of a pain but it is also quick search which might come in handy
So for example, if I wanted to find the launch banner that we mentioned at the start
Let's see if we can go and find that one
Okay, so it searches within the walls that you've already got so that's something Justin
Now up here. You've also got clouds savings notifications if you had a workspace running
I'm on what's called walling premium, which gives me unlimited bricks for seven days
And also a dark mode is embedded - there's also settings as well. The settings is very basic at the moment
You can only change your name and the profile element which I guess is handy and up here
you can add a collection if you wanted to let's say you have a social one or
Professional development whatever it could be but it might be it might be a nice way of sort of separate separating things out
Now also you've got the ability to invite and create a shareable link to each area which I guess is fairly handy it sort of
Reminds me of the way that you can do it with Trello boards
But as you can imagine each user will be charged for the premium
So naturally you're gonna be adding up six dollars per month per user per workspace
And up here. You've got what's called my desk now my desk isn't broken into sections. Although you can actually have that there
Um, it actually breaks it down based on sort of what's key to focus on
So the one thing I'll note as well is remember we added the image here
You can actually add an image that is sort of out right? So let's just add this thumbnail and that I greatly yesterday
That's actually its own block or brick. Sorry
From the outset which is good so you can actually add a comment or caption as well as remove it from the desk
and in this case if you wanted to add an item, so for example
If you wanted to add some text below to it, it will just turn it into
That sort of like different view
But the only thing is I don't think you can actually get out of it, which is a bit of a pain
There we go. So if you go backwards on text actually great comes out of it, so this could be a handy sort of
You know good starting point, I guess so I could be handy for like being able to share stuff
So here they have sort of a basic outline of the popular shortcuts
What is my desk theory and the flexibility of the platform but you probably wondering is it suitable for you?
And if you're already using an application like this like tasks a Trello may be notion
Don't necessarily go for this because I noticed it was very buggy at the start and it's very early days
So you want to see how this application evolves before next jumping on board there
however
If you're looking for something that could be a little bit further than say Google keep
Then this could be a good alternative to you
It does remind me of Zoho notebook mixed with Google keep and it has this really aesthetically pleasing experience
I think the USP above say other applications is the ability to create collections
and that's against say applications like Google keep in SoHo notebook and also the ability to
My desk area
I think the my desk area is pretty cool feature in terms of having like a focus point to then go in and actually
Start with this bit of work and sort of jump in now. You can create different workspaces down here something
I didn't mentioned and include all the details below including the producthunt link. But as I said, it's just introducing into an application
It's just making sure that you're comfortable with it
So if you're watching this review as they sort of growing, let's keep an eye on them. Let's see what they do
but as you can imagine a good aesthetically pleasing start with a few bugs involved and
An application that might replicate an existing experience you already have so be careful
I'm impressed slightly, but I will keep an eye on this
application and see how it goes and every guys if you're new here, please do subscribe to this YouTube channel and
feel free to keep an eye on
Videos we post we've posted on a range of videos
If you want to check out notion you can do obviously that's a big feature here on the channel
So do check it out, and I look forward to seeing some of your comments on bullying. Anyway, guys, I'll see you
Versi, which is everyone. Bye
You
