This thing can be really useful! I’ve tried using futz.me and Evernote, and none of them were really what I wanted. Let’s try this one!
And please keep in mind, what you see is a very early alpha version. We are working at the moment on some additional features and missions, which will begin to demonstrate the full power of useKit.com.

There is indeed a lot more coming out. The potential of this tool really lies in the combination and flexibility of all provided tools.
It is somehow an AppStore for the web. I am happy to listen to your ideas and comments.
