What is Nimbus Note?

Why do users choose Nimbus Note?

“Before Nimbus, we’d have to share our information using a variety of sources such as Google Docs for the copy, Google Sheets for the contact lists, etc. It was messy and the tools weren’t intuitive for our clients to use. Nimbus could serve as a ‘backend’ for a client facing portal. It was incredibly easy to pick up and start designing pages for clients that included all the info they’d ever need.“
