Craft introduces: Braindump

Elad Simon Published: 19 Apr 2017 Updated: 05 Nov 2019

You the ideas you get while working on something, and how they so often slip-slide away because we’d rather not disturb a surge of productivity? Or how the ideas we do record are scattered over myriad Word docs, Google Docs, emails we send ourselves and random post-its?

Well, no more.

Never Lose an Idea Again

At Craft we realized something important: a lot of those seemingly random ideas are related to the project we’re currently working on, just not to the specific task we may currently be doing. So we created Braindump – a space for writing, recording and collecting thoughts and ideas in one place, which you can later convert into actionable items.

How to use Braindump

  1. Braindump is a popover on Craft, which means you can open it anytime, from any tab, and then close it and return to what you were doing.
  2. So open Braindump from the hovering icon at the bottom-right corner of the screen and unload your thoughts. Craft will auto save anything you type.
  3. Want to turn your brain-ramblings into something applicable? Highlight any text segment in Braindump and convert it into an Epic or Story (or any other product item) and then assign it to parking lot in your product roadmap (there’s a small dropdown menu to help you do it). Log back into Craft and try it for yourself.
