re:note for Product Managers
Product management is a constant stream of signals — customer feedback, competitive moves, stakeholder requests, and usage data. re:note sits in your browser side panel so you can capture and organize these signals right where you encounter them.
Why Product Managers Choose re:note
PMs live in the browser, bouncing between analytics dashboards, design tools, project trackers, and competitor products. re:note keeps your thinking attached to the context that inspired it.
- Feature request capture — While reading customer feedback in Intercom or browsing support tickets, open the side panel and log feature requests with context: who asked, why it matters, and how it connects to your strategy.
- Competitive analysis annotations — Visit a competitor's product page and annotate what they've shipped, their pricing model, and how your product compares. Your notes stay attached to their exact URL.
- Sprint planning notes — During planning sessions, keep the side panel open on your Jira or Linear board. Note discussion points, priority rationale, and scope decisions that don't fit in ticket descriptions.
- Stacks for product areas — Organize notes into stacks like "Onboarding", "Payments", "Mobile", and "Enterprise". See all signals for a product area in one view.
Tips and Tricks
Create a stack for each product area or feature theme. When you encounter a relevant signal — a user complaint, a competitor feature, or a metric change — drop it in the right stack. This builds a living evidence base for prioritization.
When reviewing a competitor, use a consistent format: Feature, Their approach, Our approach, Gap or opportunity. This structured comparison makes it easy to reference during roadmap discussions.
After a user interview or feedback session, set a reminder to synthesize your notes within 24 hours. Fresh insights are sharper, and re:note ensures you don't let them go stale.
Create a task list for each Product Requirements Document review: technical feasibility checked, design reviewed, edge cases documented, success metrics defined, stakeholder sign-off obtained.
At the end of each quarter, export your product area stacks to CSV. Use the data to build a narrative of what you learned, what you shipped, and what's next.
Platforms That Work Great With re:note
- Jira — Add personal context notes alongside epics and stories that go beyond ticket descriptions.
- Linear — Keep sprint planning notes and priority rationale attached to your project boards.
- Productboard — Supplement feature tracking with your own competitive insights and user quotes.
- Figma — Annotate design files with product requirements, edge cases, and implementation notes.
- Confluence — Keep supplementary notes alongside PRDs and strategy documents.
- Amplitude — Add context to analytics dashboards: why a metric moved, what experiment caused it, and what to do next.
A Real-World Workflow
- Morning signal scan — Check Intercom and support tickets. In the side panel, log three feature requests with customer quotes, tagging each to the relevant product area stack.
- Competitive intel — A competitor just launched a new feature. Visit their changelog and product page. Annotate what they shipped, how it works, and whether it threatens your positioning.
- Sprint planning — During the team meeting, keep Linear open with the side panel. Note priority discussions, trade-off decisions, and deferred items.
- Design review — Open Figma and add side panel notes on a proposed design: edge cases to consider, accessibility concerns, and implementation complexity flags.
- Set a reminder — Schedule a follow-up for next Monday to review the feature's initial metrics after launch.
- Quarterly synthesis — Export all product area stacks. Build a narrative for leadership: evidence gathered, decisions made, outcomes achieved.
Stop losing product signals to scattered tools and forgotten conversations. re:note keeps your product thinking organized, right where the work happens.
