Nimbus Note made the transition into the remote learning world easier for me as an educator
Challenge
As a teacher, the challenges I faced as a teacher was how were my students without internet access going to complete digital assignments. My work wasn't difficult since I had access to the internet both at school and at home. Now that we are faced with an unprecedented obstacle (COVID-19), I fear my students are not able to complete the needed work to challenge their academia.
Solution
Nimbus Note has helped me to show my administrator as well as the senior staff at central office what I am doing at home to help my students as well as help me to become a remote educator. It hasn't been easy as I'm am what today's folks would consider "old school". Nimbus Note made the transition into the remote learning world easier for me as an educator.
Results
The results I have achieved are simple. If and when we can go back to face to face classroom instruction, I have a new tool to implement into my lessons. Students will be able to use Nimbus and send me their work, I can use Nimbus to share/save administrative work, and I believe Nimbus will help in areas to shorten the time spent. I KNOW I NEED to delve deeper into what Nimbus can do for me.

Nimbus Note has helped me connect with my students and model my expectations for each assignment
Challenge
In the current situation, I thought it would be beneficial to my students to have me provide tutorials of myself completing a lesson before I submitted it to them. Our district is not teaching live remotely, so being able to create a tutorial with Nimbus has been helpful.
Solution
At first, I used the webcam and screen share option, but for the tutorial, I didn't really need the webcam, so I just narrate the tutorial. Nimbus Note has helped me connect with my students and model my expectations for each assignment.
Results
Based on our district's goals for the current crisis, Nimbus Note helped me connect with students by posting either in Nimbus or via YouTube, which is the platform most students are familiar with. It's difficult to measure, but it gives me piece of mind that I did all I could to help the students learn and progress at this time.

I have replaced my outliner which lacks the features of the Nimbus Note
Challenge
I am an orthinologist and have approx. 500 bird notes with pictures and observations. The universe is also my interest and this topic contains a large number of notes and many pictures as well as attachments. In addition, I have all kinds of notes both work-related and private and personal.
Solution
Nimbus Note helps with a good interface and a lot of features such as text editing, colors, table and date and time management. It allows one to several sub-levels for each main topic / main note.
Results
I have replaced my outliner which lacks the features of the Nimbus Note.

Taking online courses, Nimbus Note helps access past knowledge quickly and timely because of it's organization and simply way to layout your information the way it should fit for you
Challenge
Nimbus Note is a tool that is my first journey in finding a knowledge management system to organize all the information I'm bombarded by. It's about easy access to the information you need when you need it; to recall lost lessons, lost wisdom and realign towards a north star.
Solution
Taking online courses, Nimbus Note helps access past knowledge quickly and timely because of it's organization and simply way to layout your information the way it should fit for...well, you.
Results
It's has helped with retention, while actively taking notes while learning or reading, it reinforced memory retention in a better way. Nimbus Note also acts as a reference point, while engaging online with others, helping discuss the finer points of course work otherwise missed.

At the moment, I can say that I reduced organization time by at least 50% and unnecessary files by at least 50%, because by ordering them by folder I have only what I need in an organized way
Challenge
In my work I manage social networks and multimedia materials for the Costa Rica National Zoo, therefore the organization of personal and work materials, as well as ideas, lists of things to do, and other details, have been very important and I have always been limited sense of not being properly organized.
Solution
The use of Nimbus Note has allowed me to organize different contents, organizing what is personal from what is work, I am still learning to use it and discovering the best way to make proper use of it.
Results
At the moment, I can say that I reduced organization time by at least 50% and unnecessary files by at least 50%, because by ordering them by folder I have only what I need in an organized way, however, I still need to structure well my material and import from other previous platforms.

I like to write stories and I don't like using docs so when I found Nimbus I was happy
Challenge
I like to write stories and I don't like using docs so when I found Nimbus I was happy. Before Nimbus, I could not use anything that I found very good for my stories because they all changed the words in my story and that made me so mad and Nimbus does not do that.
Solution
I get lots of headaches and since Nimbus has the black background it helped with that. If I was trying to find where I wrote something I could find it fast because of the word finder.
Results
I turned in an essay and got an A.

Nimbus simplified my life and the dream to go paperless is not so far away
Challenge
The main goal is as private person to get rid of any paperwork. All information should be stored in the cloud store to access from my PC and Mac at home as well as the iPhones from the family. The main goal was on the one hand to archive all information on one please and on the other hand to find them again when it’s necessary so an OCR functionality wants mandatory for me.
Solution
Nimbus simplified my life and the dream to go paperless is not so far away. For sure, insurances and government still sends paper but now it’s very easy for me to scan them via iPhone, even mobile, and find them again at home or at any place in the world.
Results
Hmm, I am a private person so there are no described processes and workflows behind. I just can see that it’s not worth to spend time any longer for managing paper, scan it via iPhone and throw the paper away, that is the workflow I implemented.

Nimbus has definitely saved me time as I don't have to keep waiting for sync to annotate, or wading through a whole article to find the piece of info I clipped it for.
Challenge
I am a 'full stack' web developer working with a variety of technologies - ASP.NET Core, C#, SQL Server, Html, Css and Javascript to name a few. The breadth of skills I need to maintain, and the pace of evolution in the web sector, means that I'm constantly studying and learning about new approaches, best practices etc., primarily via the web itself. However bookmarks are brittle - web pages move or are deleted - and clipping whole articles into OneNote or Evernote creates a lot of material to wade through later. Not only that, there's a lot of info on the web about programming topics, a lot of it opinionated or conflicting, so articles can often present multiple solutions, not all of them relevant or useful. As a result, annotating is a must if you don't want to go on a wild goose chase when reviewing at a later date.
Solution
I love the Nimbus Clipper. The ability to select exactly which text to clip, and to annotate it while I'm clipping, means that I can cut down on clutter and build up a detailed research library tailored to my skills and approach. I also love the fact that Nimbus is quick to sync so that if I need to annotate further I can sync to desktop quickly and edit without waiting for the tools to catch up. Both OneNote and Evernote are much slower and more cumbersome - and with those you need to sync to annotate as their clippers don't provide that functionality. Another plus is good multi-device support - I can clip or work on the go because everything is in one place. OneNote is particularly bad at multi-device support because you never know which notebooks are synced on a given device.
Results
Nimbus has definitely saved me time as I don't have to keep waiting for sync to annotate, or wading through a whole article to find the piece of info I clipped it for. More importantly though, Nimbus has helped me make sense of my thoughts and focus on solutions. The ability to clip just the relevant code snippets and specific comments only, then annotate with my own further thoughts, evaluations and conclusions, means that I can zero in on actual solutions that are easy to reference later.

Nimbus Note saves me at least 10 hours a month training people 1-on-1 to do the tasks that I need them to do
Challenge
I'm a consultant for SaaS companies. I'm currently looking for a way to scale my business without having to work endless hours. I had an idea for a productized service to build a certain kind of landing pages for SaaS, but no matter how much I spent thinking about it, I couldn't get it off the ground. Why? This business should be easily repeatable, so I can automate and delegate most of the work. To do this, I felt like I needed a solid way to record my processes and share them with the people I'd be hiring. Other than a tool to help me on this, I wanted to hire a VA to assist me on creating these processes and organizing everything before ramping up sales and hiring people to fulfill client orders. Examples of tasks I wanted to outsource are:
Each of these tasks has one or more processes associated to them and I wanted a tool to keep my SOPs organized and easily accessible. I was using a combination of local files, Google Docs, Google Spreadsheets, PDFs and notes to do all of this. But it was too difficult to save all in one single place, keep updated, and share with others.
Solution
Nimbus Note was the final push I needed to commit to this new project and start building the business' foundation. Nimbus meets all my needs in terms of recording and organizing notes, while giving me access to a repository of SOPs I can easily build and update. Not only that, having Nimbus on my side gave me the confidence to stop delaying things and hire a VA to help me. If I didn't have Nimbus, I wouldn't be able to organize her tasks and keep a record of all the documents we create. Now that she's been added to my workspace and trained on how to use Nimbus, we can build our systems and processes and keep them all in sync. A new productivity habit I've gained with Nimbus is that now I save a record of most things I learn. Anytime I come up with an idea to do something easier or faster, I go back to Nimbus and update the relevant process. Or create a new one. This habit of creating training assets is going to have a major impact on my business once it's ready to scale up. This is a mindset boost that wouldn't have been possible without a tool like Nimbus, which helps me record my stuff with ease. The best thing? I now have a documented process, training or checklist for every single task my team needs to fulfill for our business. This means it's easier for me to hire new people and delegate most of the work, while keeping high standards anyone can follow.
Results
It's still too early to understand the impact that Nimbus has and will have on my business, but so far I can say:

Nimbus Note became an excellent helper tool for our company.
Challenge
We F-Grade Global Services Pvt Ltd are expert in offering website design services development. Our work is basically about designing website where we need to capture and annotate things. Most of the time we are asked frequently to change the background colors, text fonts, images, size and many more. So, we were looking to discover new tools for creating notes, documents, capturing, annotating and sending screen shots to use it for our work. Moreover, our team was looking to work for offline. We have tried probably many chrome extensions for screenshots to be least buggy and has lots of great options. We wanted to gather and organize the information at a particular place.
Solution
Nimbus Capture is a great tool for visualizing clicks and magnifying certain areas of your screen. It seemed to be a perfect companion for capturing, recording screencasts and performing presentations. It became an excellent helper tool for our company. Our teammates have been using Nimbus almost every day which lays a vital role in designing our websites. One of the great features is to take a screenshot of a portion of a webpage and we can easily convert it to PDF. Excellent quality is the look of it too. Nimbus note is available on all platforms making our organization to work from anywhere. We are using this add-on many times a day. We need to have snapshots of pages all the time. This is very useful for us to accomplish the tasks quickly. Also, it can upload the information to Slack without third party hosting.
Results
The final result of choosing Nimbus was the correct choice for F-Grade Global Services Pvt Ltd. Our team was able to easily annotate what was captured and save the resulting files to our computers as well as drop box, google drive, etc. They were able to use watermarks for company branding to easily insert images or text. Organizing notes and sharing made our work easier by easily creating tasks. It also notifies us about the phone, time and place reminders which is the most essential attribute for people working in Organizations. We were able to get control over the workflow by setting location and time reminders for our tasks and locate Geo-tag notes on the map. It saves half of time and energy.

As a result of using Nimbus our team is a lot more productive and we are no longer seeing any duplicate work happening, and a lot less miscommunications as everything is updated live in one central place.
Challenge
Stoic by design creates wisdom inspired art to help fuel your entrepreneurial journey.
We condense the big ideas found in stoicism as well as from philosophy and business leaders to create inspirational artworks for your home or office.The idea is to find actionable concepts and strategies which will help inspire entrepreneurs and their teams as they face the highs and lows of creating something new.
The biggest challenge for us is research, organising key ideas, and organising our team to create inspirational content for our website and social media channels, as well as collecting inspiration and ideas for our artworks. With so many ideas, concepts, and great books it’s easy to get lost in notes and scribbles, making it more challenging to get the team as a unit
Solution
We recently started using Nimbus as a way of centralising all our notes, ideas, brainstorms, and plans into one platform the whole team can access. Whenever someone sees something that can be of use, they can bookmark it, take a screenshot, or write about it so that we can review later.
The mobile app is super useful for taking notes when reading books or doing research, whilst we try and minimise our use of tech for productivity this is the one major exception to our rule.
Nimbus notes also enable us to catalogue our inspirational quotes, research and artistic ideas so that we can have a searchable resource all the team can contribute to.
We are also using Nimbus to catalogue all our customer feedback, reviews and custom projects so that we can use these later in our marketing and art creation.
Results
Thanks to Nimbus notes we no longer rely on different systems, paper notes, notepads, and chats to run our business and we look forward to adding more things into Nimbus, such as our processes, internal documents, checklists and project statuses.
As a result of using Nimbus these past weeks our team is a lot more productive and we are no longer seeing any duplicate work happening, and a lot less miscommunications as everything is updated live in one central place.
We also love the fact that you can use it on just about any platform, whether it may be on a web browser, desktop app or mobile phone app for convenient document access or note taking.
In a nutshell - we are now able to focus much more of our time on our one thing: inspiring more entrepreneurs with timeless wisdom.
We highly recommend Nimbus notes to any creative business, or just about any business which relies on notes, documents, and paper to save and share ideas and processes.
