This week is a big week for us. After years of building in stealth, countless iterations, and invaluable feedback from all of you - Tana officially launched to the world. Thanks for the incredible help this week - and the last four years. One of our goals was to become Product of the Day, and we couldn't have done this without our community. This moment feels special. Not just because we re finally launching, but because of how we got here. When we started building Tana, we envisioned reinventing how humans and computers work together. But we didn t expect to find such an incredible community of pioneers, thinkers, and builders who would help shape that vision. I remember filling the Slack community with the first four members. Then we grew to 12. 25. 150. 500. Suddenly, I found myself stopping every 5 min. on my small evening runs to welcome the next community member. YOU - our 24,000+ Tanarians - have been nothing short of amazing. You ve pushed the boundaries of what Tana can do. You ve helped each other, shared insights, and created a thriving ecosystem of ideas. From complex workflows to powerful AI apps that feel like magic. You ve celebrated with us and pushed back when needed. Every message in our community Slack's #share-your-tips-and-how-tos, every idea and help in #feedback, every bug report, every aha! moment shared - they ve all contributed to making Tana what it is today. YOU haven t just been early adopters; YOU ve been co-creators of this journey. We still hope to become Product of the Week and Month, so if you haven t already supported us, we d love your support. Not just for the clicks and comments, but because your stories and experiences with Tana are the most powerful testament to what we re building together. We want to share those stories with the world. This isn t just a launch - it s a liftoff. What comes next will be even more exciting. Voice-first workflows, customizable AI agents, and an entirely new paradigm for knowledge work. But first, we will spend some time polishing what we now have launched. And just like everything else we ve built, we ll build it together with you, our incredible community. Thank YOU for being the Tana engine. Let s show the world what the future looks like! With deep gratitude, the Tana team.

this will be very helpful folks for first-time launchers, looking forward to the most wholesome thread here.

For me personally, it bothers me a lot when people try to teach others something that they didn't do themselves. It's like one blind person tries to teach other blind person to see. So the best advice is to learn from experience and it's been working for me so far. What's yours?
