The growing support team and multilingual help resources in production
MarginNote is situated at Zhongguancun Technology Park, Beijing, Chinese Silicon Valley. Based on a core team of about ten people, we have established good cooperation with Apptamin, Gengo, Voice123, Applingua, and other large-scale outsourcing companies. For global entrepreneurs, outsourcing is a very common way to provide users with a better experience, outsourcing everything possible, and doing our focus. Including those discussed by you, the earliest overall development of Liquidtext was outsourced, and MarginNote also has such resources.
2、 Product Philosophy of MarginNote:
-
Focusing on Product Itself With Our Craftsman’s Spirit
We have rejected the acquisition of MarginNote by some large companies with a value of 10 billion, as well as all kinds of cooperation from other large companies because we believe that not capital but people are the ultimate answer. As a continuous entrepreneur, Min, the founder of MarginNote, firmly believes in the development creed of Facebook. In the initial exploration stage of a solution related software, he thinks constantly to polish his works with the mentality of exploring products, just like an artist dedicates himself to his works, which is not the product of an industrial assembly line. At this stage, we don’t want to have too much external interference, external capital, more programmers and so on.
-
Considering Feature Request Cautiously
We evaluate every feature and add it carefully, not because of technical limitations, but because the function design before and after each update must conform to the core concept of our software and our original intention of building this software, not be overloaded with the existing function system, and integrate into the existing workflow effectively. At the same time, it can solve a reasonable and well-founded customer pain point.
-
Listening to Users Patiently
We have noted these suggestions and we take voices of users seriously. We are also thinking about the next step of the overall development plan. If there is a clear plan, we will share and discuss it with you. During this period, many members of our team read all 235 Feature Requests, including the founder Min. We have an intuitive understanding of many suggestions. Preparing a questionnaires and an alpha internal test discussion group such as telegram or forum group, we want to have an in-depth discussion on your scene requirements and listen to your voice about the whole development process. We have not promised that all the suggestions put forward by users will be realized, because we don’t provide a service to customize the software for our users, but we are willing to discuss with each user the in-depth rationale and background behind all the requirements, explore the pain points that indeed resonates with users and incorporate users into the new product design plan. Welcome to explore the cognitive concept of MarginNote with us. Please remember, this is a young and growing software.
Regards,
MarginNote Team
