<i>My first thought on watching the demo was: This seems a lot like Lotus Notes.</i><p>The author claims this is a compliment, but generally Notes has a terrible reputation as one of the most over-architected and misused software solutions of the &#x27;90s.<p>You can check it out (in excruciating detail) at this Interface Hall of Shame article from 1999:<p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;hallofshame.gp.co.at&#x2F;index.php?file=lotus.htm&amp;mode=original" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;hallofshame.gp.co.at&#x2F;index.php?file=lotus.htm&amp;mode=or...</a><p>It starts off with: &quot;We wish we found IBM&#x27;s Lotus Notes a long time ago. This single application could have formed the basis for the entire site.&quot;<p>Maybe there was an elegant core to Notes that was hidden under all the insane GUIs built using the tools? Would be interesting to hear more.
