Burnout is real indeed!

I mean...

It gets better!

> Track vacations and plan burnouts.

That just doesn't sound healthy.

Canadian curse. I'm barred (read: geofenced) from watching official SNL channels.

We are in private beta for 6-7 months, so not that bad. Also it took our competitors 2-3 years before the first release as well, so it seems that is not a huge problem. We hope...

Well, when you create all-in-one tool you have to go deep. Most likely we will drop some parts before the first release, like CMS (it is not fully ready yet).

We were inspired by Slack, it is somewhat negative as well. Also something that is associated with startups.

Is slack negative? Generally a system with some amount of slack is resilient and responsive. (counterexample: a computer running at 100% cpu has no slack and consequently feels sluggish to use.) An organisation could reasonably aspire to have more internal responsiveness and relaxedness about communication.

What do your users aspire to?

Not burnout.

I'd say in business context it is https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/slack

Even in the context of slacking off, it is something that individuals might enjoy. When an individual imagines slacking off, their imagination might conjure a game of ping-pong or a cheeky 4pm beer.

Whenever I hear the word burnout, I think of serious mental health and relationship problems, with a whiff of divorce and depression. Like, I'm reminded of this blog post: http://jessenoller.com/blog/2015/9/27/a-lot-happens

Thanks! AFAIK Show HN allows to post only ready products you can have acces to. Burnout.so is not ready yet...

Thanks! We thought Theranos would serve as an irony. Will think about it.

In communication, it is better to default to being straightforward. Irony relies on some amount of shared understanding, but you are trying to communicate with strangers.
