It's been really precious, both motivation and product-wise. This comes with increased pressure to ship features and kill bugs: the community-fed roadmap ( ) is completely crammed but our team of 8 is truly grateful for the user feedback we've been getting. We won PH's Product of the Year award last year ( ) which led to a huge boost in active users. There are quite a few technical challenges, the main one being pushing the Electron framework to its limits: copy/pasting is sometimes erratic, CPU load can spike, embedded Chrome is constantly obsolete, support of extensions is experimental, multi-window is a bit laggy, and I could go on and on :) We realize we still have a long way to go to offer the delightful experience we aim for, but we're committed to it. This translates in the first features we shipped: a "Quick-Switch" (a la Alfred) that allows you to quickly change page without losing focus, a "Smart Dock" that segments your workspace by automatically linking all pages to an app, a "Focus Mode" that kills all notifications with 1 click and an "Autosleep" (a la The Great Suspender) that intelligently unloads unused apps from your computer's memory. That's why we built Station: it's a SaaS focused, distraction-free platform (600+ apps) that's not meant for browsing but solely for working with web apps. What has dramatically changed is the number of working hours you spend in it. If you look at the very first Chrome interface (released 10 years ago!) you'll notice that it isn't significantly different from today's v69.

) & tools (Franz, Toby, Rambox, OneTab, etc.), we came to the conclusion that distraction is a core-design issue in modern browsers that can't be solved with cosmetic changes or simple hacks. We've always had a love / hate relationship with our browser: it's been our main work environment for the last 6 years but we keep struggling to stay focused and never found an efficient technique that would fix my natural impulse to open a new tab and get distracted.Īfter trying quite a few methods (Pomodoro, White noise, Do Not Disturb.

Think of it as an efficient workspace for all your web tools.
